I need to put an oil pressure gauge on my speedster. Using a Datsun B-210 oil pump, what oil pressure would I expect? What gauge range should I use?

Its that wonderful time of the year again!
Time to test and tune Model T coils for the Summer Touring season.

Learning the art of coil tuning is fun and easy to do with the right tools and videos.
Taking an active roll in how well your Model T runs also adds a very satisfying component to the Model T driving experience.

Looking to change the oil in the Warford transmission. This is an older aluminum unit. Does anyone know the capacity so I know how much to order?
Thanks

I think I installed my clutch release ring in the incorrect location but wanted to confirm before pulling everything apart again. Is the location, as pointed out in the handbook (pictured below) the same as where I put the arrow on my picture? Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know, or heard if Stipe Machine, ever restarted Model T cam production?

Where on the frame would be the best place to mount a starter solenoid? If you have one installed, would you please post a photo? Thanks.

WTB good small drum Ruckstell axle or complete kit to convert rear axle to a Ruckstell (19-25).

The manifold is in excellent condition, the ports look unused. The plunger spring takes more effort than first expected but it needs to cause the short burst of fuel. The green tap is preventing a new ferrule from sliding off. Have everything else per the parts list except the supply elbow and 3/8 supply line. These parts, from the plunger to your...

I am working on a 1914 roadster which has the original horn and tubing, both in great shape. The horn bulb however, is long gone and only the brass base of the bulb is left. I see that the vendors offer a 4 inch and a 3 inch diameter bulb. Which one is correct for this application for the 1914?

I was breaking down an early transmission/flywheel assembly and got a little surprise.
One of the magnets came off in two pieces!
It looks like it's an original assembly as indicated by what appears to be the original lock wire.
There was no indication the magnet was broken.

Yup - They're out there.

Motor kicked back a bit when starting, now won't turn over (sounds like it's trying). Battery, switch, power to starter seems ok. is the bendix jammed into the flywheel?

A friend has a problem that may relate to the TT Truck Rear Axle Ratio.

His TT Truck goes slower than most with a top speed of 12 miles per hour.

The rear axle ratio must be printed someplace, but I cannot find it.

The Model A used the same rear axle with different wheels.

Would that axle in a Model T make it run slower?

Are you bringing any of this type tire to the Homecoming, Richmond, IN?

If so, let me know so I can plan to come.

Thank you.

I purchased three U & J carbs last year as a lot, from one of our Forum posters (thank you). One of them had been all but destroyed. The main jet was bored out and extended up into the venturi like a submarine periscope; the venturi was removed completely and replaced by a cobbled up hunk of aluminum.

The void where the main jet was crudely...

Well, here’s the answer.

They were made with a dovetail glue jointing machine. One picture is the original rear seat heel panel from my 22 sedan. It’s made of two pieces jointed together.

The other is the piece that the rear seat cushion sits on. It is made of three pieces jointed together with one of the pieces having a completely different...

I’ve had my T for 13 years of pretty trouble free driving, but having trouble today! I drove it today and ran great, and I was getting it ready for spring maintenance and pulled back in the garage.
