I'm converting a 1926 T roadster to a slide in pick up box. I'm wondering if anyone has tips (experience) for removing the turtle deck/trunk of the roadster body.

Thanks, Mike

First Brands appears to be filing for Chapter 11 and state that Autolite is one of
the brands to be discarded. I called around for Autolite 3095 and no one had any
in stock. I was able to order some mail order, but I am wondering what will be
available after those are gone. Just Champion X or do some of you use something
else?

Just wondering if it is behind schedule OR did I not get my copy? I'm not complaining, just wondering. ;)

I found sn original T screwdriver in a second hsnd tool store recently. It has been well hammered on the handle end and the handle is a bit short as a result but it is still recognisable, so into my 1912 van tool roll it goes. That liberates the one I fitted with a new handle made to the Ford print.

Do you have to constantly fiddle with the ignition coils to keep your Model T car running properly? I can assure you this is not normal operation for a Model T Ford. Unreliable engine performance, hard starting and poor idling are commonly caused by poorly operating or adjusted ignition coils.

Hello.

I recently bought a fulton whistle over ebay. The whistle is working and in good shape, but the cutout is totally worn out and there's no sense in trying to restore it.

Henry Ford acquired A. Y. Malcomson and some smaller investors stock prior to 1907. As a result, he held a significant majority in the company named for him, and for all intents and purposes he was in control.

Here is what he wrote about the six cylinder v. the four cylinder motor at that time.
