MTFCA Forum

Hello everyone,

After being away for several years, I have decided to renew my membership and return to this forum with what will hopefully be received as a interesting project, worthy of members help.

Years ago I started a plan drawing of the Model T transmission, mostly because I wanted to know how such a simplistic mechanical device actually...

Since the passing of Stan and Russ does anyone have a source of valve seats and floats for the Kingston 5 Ball Carb?

The Stan Howe setup work great. The float is from a Harley Davidson.

The 1909 float and seat aren’t original. The problem is the seat is some sort of plastic ball and it hangs up.

Any source would be greatly appreciated....

For half a century, members of the Rose City Model T Club have had access to Hand Cranked Coil Testers (HCCT) to tune up Model T coils. Nearly two decades ago, the club invested in a Strobo-Spark and it was a game changer. Today, the Electronically Cranked Coil Tester (ECCT) is available, which tests coils using dwell instead of amperage.

The...

This is a heavy casting. It’s apparent where it goes, but what is it for?

A friend is needing help mounting Budd wheels to model T.

Is there someone that he could call to get information he needs?

Thanks for the help.

Is there anyone near Waterford pa that has experience with the model T magneto ? I’m having issues with mine not having much charge on the magnets , have done the in cr flash with 3 batteries and a dc welder to no avail .
Thank you !

When I was putting the 22 into the garage for the winter, I couldn’t back it up my very low slope driveway. I had a bunch of things to do before I could get into it to find out what was up. I took the transmission cover off today and I can’t see anything wrong. The triple gears look fine, the drum shows no sign of heating or cracking, and what...

If you've got an early T here's an engine for you. According to the T SN listing, this engine was in a car sold in Dec. 1911. There isn't a casting date on the engine (that I've found). The SN on it is 88211, So this was probably in a 1912 Model year car. However, it could have been in an 11 sold late. Here in Ky we didn't have a title law until...

Early 1912 engine no. 88211, complete with correct parts including head, pan, tramsnmission cover, pedals, etc.
Purchased from my good friend Tommy Turner a few years back. I recently suffered a downturn putting an end to any major restorations. The assembly has never been removed from the heavy wooden crate used to send it to me. Here is a link...

The Internet is changing so rapidly, even I have to scramble to keep up sometimes!
Now that Flash Player is no longer supported by any mainstream browsers, I had to change a lot of the code for my website. What does this have to do with Model T's I hear you ask? Simple, I had to (temporarily) remove the music library from my website until I could...

Happy New Year everyone! :)

Many of you will be aware by now of my Model T site, of which I'm pleased to say, gets a lot of comments about how useful people have found it.

I recently implemented a brand new feature on my Model T site, which I hope will get lots of use, and save a great deal of time!

After finally getting the engine to run in a friend's newly-purchased '26 T, it was noted that the ammeter did not register a charge even when the engine was revved up. The ammeter was wired backwards (of course!), showing a charge when the lights were tested. Once the ammeter wires were corrected, turning on the headlights gave a discharge on the...

Last year I bought a very original early model year 1914 touring that has a late November 1913 engine. It has some transition parts like a two piece driveshaft and likely the original carburetor that was used for the 1913 model year, a Holley S. The car was in running condition when I got it, but for some reason, I really had a hard time getting...

I recently saw the post about the frame riveting tool that sold on eBay and was curious if anyone has any information about the Stevens T-50 tool? It seems like a very helpful tool for our hobby. There was a picture of it from what looked like it came out of a catalog but most of the text was cut off and couldn't read the whole thing. I would also...

Last week my 26 sedan ran so great but this week there’s a slight missing in the exhaust and a noticeable loss of power. And when I shut the engine off there’s a noticeable vapor coming out of the choke. 🫤 shorting out each spark plug seems to have no noticeable change in engine sound.

Only $60 + USPS flat rate small. Another sandblasted recently sold here for $100. All threads used tap or dies already and in good condition.

Hello everyone. A very sad day here, Dick Hautzinger passed yesterday. I was very fortunate to know him for quite some time and travel to many swap meets, shows with him. I was always surprised by the amount of people that knew him wherever we traveled. His knowledge of Model T’s was endless.
