“Many claim Kalamity Dick was a fictitious character made up to frighten children from playing with mechanical objects. However, pictures of this mysterious fellow surface from time to time. Was he real?

When Ford built magneto coils, we're they coated with any sealer before or after mounting on the plate?
Also what type of fabric were they wrapped in and what would compare with it today?

Cotton twill overwrap on each coil, and final assembly coated in shellac-based insulating varnish.

Maybe a dumb question. Can I use a grounded out T coil on a test stand for something else?
Grounded out meaning the high tension lead grounded to the commutator terminal.
Thinking 6-12 Volts to operate the points. The tests may be several minutes long.
All testing is non-destructive meaning the coil could be cleaned up to use in a box as intended...

I dont know why the concern for 12V. A hot magneto puts out 30V. Unless its an amperage issue?

With the early cars, at least prior to 1917, there was a parts list booklet, and with it was a list of tools included with the car. On that tool list is a #27 wrench. I can only assume it is the band wrench. But why? Why didn't they just call it what it is? The other booklet included was the Ford Manual.

Last post

The final incarnation, the more plentiful one with the diamond shape between the ends, is meant ONLY to drive the spring loaded nut on the internally adjusted bands, so it did not need to be heavyweight. I believe they are spread when using them as ordinary wrenches on nuts/bolts. If you want to correct the spread to save a wrench, NEVER do it...

First post

Here is a set of 4 wire wheel hubs. Just out of the blast cabinet. The front hubs have a couple issues (like most original hubs). Both have a spot that’s either a crack or a casting flaw. Kinda hard to tell. Tried to show this in the pictures. The rear hubs have nice tapers and keyways. The drums have some heavy pitting.

$250 plus shipping in...

Hubs are sold.

I hadn't much appreciation for a 5-ball carburetor until I purchased this one. It has been an experience all of its own. You may have seen these posts about different phases of work on it, or you may have passed as it didn't pertain to your car.

They're not interchangeable. How many contacts do you have inside of the lamp socket?

Bought this LF off of eBay. Cleaned it up inside and out. Very little wear on any of the parts. Went to install it today and realized that the flange bolts threads are small then manifold holes and course thread. Spacing is correct. Is this the correct LF for a T, or did I not do my homework before I bought?

When I nest the bows correctly the third bow is 5/8 wider than the measurements call for. Is this going to bite me in the butt when I put the top on? Or should I build it to the correct measurements and the bows not nest?

The bows won’t nest perfectly.

The fit of the irons and bows to the body is most important.

This thread gives good starting point to fit the structure before trimming.

Noting the louvered hood on Rob's new Model B, I took a look at all the Ford models. B, C, E, and F had louvers. K, N, R, S and T (for the first six years) didn't. I'm not trying to make any point, just observing an interesting detail.

I don't know why Ford dropped louvers midway through the alphabet Fords and left the hoods louverless until 1915. I often wonder about that.
Some trivia about Ford, hoods, and louvers, that I have read over the years.

While both USA and Canadian built model Ts from 1909 through 1914 models left the factories without louvers in the hoods?...
