Hello all,

I finally got my 22 touring barn find running today. It starts ok its firing on all cylinder well but it has a clear knock. The knock is in time with one of the pistons and it gets progressively louder as it heats up. After a few minutes it gets VERY loud and the engine slows to a stop.

this is not good -

My guess is its a bearing...

I have had my 1924 Coup for about a month now but prior she was not used much for the last 4 years. The first thing I did was remove the package shelf and move the seat back 5 inches.

The clamp-on swivel bracket on my 1915 didn't want to stay put. So I bought a #2696B spindle arm, the one with a hole in it for a swivel bracket. I thought it would be pretty simple to make a bracket that would take a bolt through the hole and remain solidly in place. But it turns out the hole is tapered. I expect I can make a tapered part that...

I guess it depends on the speedometer swivel that is being used. This is for a Stewart.

My dad straightened many pans without a jig. The jig doesn't straighten the pan, it only tells you when or if it's straight. (I know the jig can also act as an anvil in the straightening process. I'm not saying it isn't a valuable tool.) I wouldn't be surprised if the pan in the photo went from the press to a jig, to check their progress.

I am wanting to purchase an Enclosed trailer to haul a single Model T Touring and am looking for some advise on what the size enclosed trailer one should use.

😂 yes, pic was taken when trailer is new Tim. I think decals were added before I hauled a T. I previously had a 7’ wide 14’ enclosed trailer. Was almost impossible to exit a 26-27 T when driven in. Thankfully, 8.5’ width is common to most manufacturers. Don’t think I could negotiate my entry gate with a 20’ trailer.

Looking for a new cam shaft. Preferably a stipe .250, but would consider a .280 if one is available. I called Chaffins to see if they had any of their new cams i stock but said they don't do those anymore and no regrinds on the shelf either.

Does anybody have something they would sell?

Hi Rich,

Looks like this is a regrind from Chaffins. Am I correct?
Or is this one brand new?

Thanks!

Its definitely a regrind. Tag says .264 lift which Chaffins apparently sold as .270 lift.

The easy answer is to fit another petcock. They are the same as those on the pan that are used to check the oil levels. Otherwise, follow Adrain's plan.

Not all Ford petcocks have a spring, washer and split pin to hold tension on the rotating piece. The early cars had a machined washer and a fancy set screw which was threaded into the end of the...
