I don’t want to hijack this thread, but I have wondered for years how anyone could get a stock Model T to run at these speeds.

An internet search found this article on the 2024 500. A very good read.

Congratulations to Ed!

the interwebz is full of BS, before I got my model t a couple months ago the interwebz said a model t could not do 37...

Make an offer if you can use this starter.

The 9/16 thread for the nose, or the 15/16 thread for the cam gear? Have you considered a 3 corner file to repair the thread? or a thread file?

intake manifold connection
This is used by the EGR, not the PCV.

Even though I tried to give a complete summary of both, and in the process mention exhaust manifold , that does not in any way imply that everything that I stated was also stated by Frank. Hope that clears any miscommunication by my part.

Thanks for your reply. The car was disassembled in Mass. in 1965 and storred in boxes which is how I got it. The wood spacer came with the car and has some holes that match those in the cowl so I think it must go in there. What I am mainly concerned with is filling the space between the top of the dash and the WS frame.

Still have several copies

Keith,

I joined the Long Beach Model T Club in 1995. I didn't own a T then, but as the by laws state, Owenership of a Model T is not required . I have since purchased a '26 Touring from the widow of a past member. My first Long Beach Model T Club Swap Meet was in 1975 at the Dust Bowl . In my opinion it was the best antique auto swap meet ever to...

Sent you a PM

Chris notified me that he had found a pair.

Post from 2021 showing Universal wheels, scroll to bottom of the thread.

Thanks Dan and Big2bird !.,.,. I can account for the changes in my two previous posts, it was a six coil order, not five.

You might try the guys that made the reproduction pan jigs.

Wow, nice job!

Purchasing a rusty door latch is probably not a good idea if you need this spring. My understanding is that spring steel has a tendency to rust quicker. It does NOT come in the kit from the vendors. If yours is bad, you might as well replace the entire lock and not bother to fix it. No one has yet to offer that wisdom that I know of. Its purpose...

Sorry. I must disagree. Wood glue will not hold if the gap is not totally closed. If the gap is even slightly open the glue will fail as the glue is very weak if not adhering to something other than itself. The glue will not attain full strength unless the two sides of the crack are totally closed and making tight contact with eachother. Any glue...

The sound quality is surprisingly good, even in the few acoustic recordings. Most of these are electric recordings, and very nicely reproduced.

If I am honest, I have enhanced the sound quality with advanced Audio Editing software to try and bring out the best in these old recordings, especially ones from phonograph cylinders.

I have also...

Do the whistles work well or is there a problem with the valve?

I'd have to agree with Jerry unless you want the practice of possibly having to do it over.

Thanks for the suggestions, I gave up on the Fathers Day thought as so much else going on. I will look into your ideas and suggestions and follow up when I have a positive result.

Good thinking. Personally, being under a deadline causes me to make hasty, regrettable choices.

Getting scarcer by the day....

Axle housings that are damaged beyond repair can be easily made into excellent jack stands.

 
Here is an older thread about other ways to install the Hood Latch Hardware.

I charged my magnets in 2010 and they are still going strong. I documented my success. Check out: www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/118802/159978.html.

Model T Ford Classifieds on facebook, just saw a nice set. just be careful lots of fraud.

Check you email

Steve,

Try this website. That should bring it up for you although on my iPad I can’t see the photos. They do show up on my iPhone. Go figure. Hope that helps.

Fayetteville, Tennessee is about 45 minutes north of us in Huntsville.

Current bid is $2,250.

That’s interesting….8 and 10 inch size…….Ed Archer said that he had his drums recast at a foundry because the original drums had so many cracks.

I did a frame off restoration of my Tudor. There are only two sill plates (one for each door) and they are zinc with a Ford script. Different from those on a Model A, but look similar. I don't know what those 4 pieces are in the middle, maybe not for a Tudor?

Are these available? I could use them on a round tank that is missing a set.

If available I would like to buy.

Bring to top. It may motor slower than normal but maybe just a good cleaning or brush plate will do it. Or use it as a core for exchange if you need one. Someone out there needs this poor thing! I need to get rid of it for my friend! :lol:

Our cub, the Rocky Mountain Model T Club, Went to Havre Montana for our spring tour. It was a good mix of dirt and pavement in some beautiful country. The history of this area was the focus and we we were not disappointed. The Bear Paw Battleground is where Chief Joseph surrendered.

I was hoping to find a clamp on cutout, but I could only find an inline.

I’ll order the choke cable today as well. It looks like I’ll need a return spring from tru-value as well.

Install Sunday maybe?

Got to be ready for the 4th of July parade…

Read Page 32 here...

That spells out the change orders, but there is some complication when considering Ford vs. K-W production. There are a lot of tongue and groove, 6-screw coils, for example, and that doesn't match up with the change orders.

Forgive my ignorance as I have never lived close enough to deal with OCF, what is it?

It's Old Car Festival at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI.

It's a one-of-a-kind car event, (not just a car show, with parked cars), that usually draws 850, 1932 and older cars. Do a YouTube search for dozens of videos that will give some idea. It's been...

Geez I love when someone posts an interesting problem then doesn't come back.

Trying to get loaded today, will drive thru the night to get there Wednesday. The list of things not finished is long and it's raining again. It's a mud pit here trying to sort and load.

Agree with Keith. I am in so please remind me in September.

I cannot think of any Model T in the Milwaukee club that sounds like that or shakes like that.
I am sure there is a club in Ohio that would be willing to have you join them on their next tour to see
how well their cars run.

I'm between the left front wheel and the S .

Levering away at the steering wheel may just cause the steering rod to be loaded on one side of the bush in the lower bracket, masking wear at that point. This bushing is often overlooked even when rebuilding the front axle.

Salt Peanuts! Salt Peanuts!

Kenny sells boiled pnuts both original and Cajun and he has on old royal #5 coffee roaster he uses to roast pnuts. he sold almost 12 tons of peanuts last year. imagine what this little thing will do to his business

I realized a photo would help, something like this.

That's a very early car and it needs to be saved!

I’ll take it if still available. Mr Butler

A couple more.

Yes he does. Corey has restored two Holley Gs for me. One full brass and one steel. Both were tested on a running engine and brilliantly finished/painted. Highly recommend Corey.

Thanks so much Scott Now I know!!!! Thanks for all you do for the hobby.

These videos may be of some help.

Hi Joe,
I have a good starter. not totally rebuilt, just cleaned up with new bushings and the seal. $60. Give me a call and we can meet up.

Thanks to all of you for your responses. I figured there was a snowball's chance in hell of finding one but it was worth a shot. I considered modifying the holes but questioned the wisdom of doing that. Glad to hear Ford recommended it and that it works. Karl, I appreciate you looking through your stash. Thanks again everyone.

I have like 10 or...

Thanks! It did not look like the pictures I’ve seen on the forum

I have a turtle deck for a 23 runabout/roadster

The steering columns in early cars with magneto horns initially had a small tube to carry a single wire up to the switch on top of the column. That tube was fixed to the column with separate spot welded saddles. Then they devised a single wire U shaped tube. There was only a need for a single wire as the switch was used to ground the circuit via...

That was a nice eastern king snake in the transmission. Keep it, they eat venomous serpents for supper.

Absolutly agree, he has migrated over to the tbird and most mornings I can find him on the trunk just soaking up some warmth. My son wants to pick him up and play but I've told him leave him alone, we want him to be happy here

Lower price. All five carburetors for $100 plus $25 to ship them.
