I'm fairly new to model T's and have had lots of fun putting noisemakers on my '24.

I'm trying to learn about the whistle spark plugs.

I see many of the whistle portion of the assembly available. but not the plugs themselves.

teach me about the spark plugs.

I would assume these are specially built plugs, and as usual they are a wear part.

I know this topic has been brought many times in the past but I thought I would look for your opinions. Here in Florida it's mainly flat land in any direction. My car has a high compression Z head and was rebuilt about 14 years ago with all new Stipe touring cam and crankshaft. I also have a Ruckstell rear. I'm still looking for someone to install...

Hello all! Just signed up on the forums here. I'm hunting for a 1916 Ford Model T Touring Car that used to be owned by my grandfather, Richard C Dietz. Back in 2012, my grandfather passed away. My grandmother sold the Model T in a panic shortly after. It was originally supposed to be handed down to my father.

For the last few years, I've been...

The journey:

Last fall I joined this forum.

Shortly after I found a local model T club and joined, along with my 12 year old son.

I was immediately welcomed and impressed by the people as well as the car. (the club has work days regularly at least 1 -2 per month)

I wasn't completely prepared to get a car... but I was inspired to begin...

My wife & I are moving back to our hometown (15 slightly hilly highway miles away). I've never driven our '26 Roadster very far and mostly in town. It runs pretty good, but I've never gotten it up past 35, I believe. I know the magneto doesn't work. (maybe that won't matter) Is it a bad idea to drive it to the new place? I know many people do...

I have owned 1910 T number 24146 since Sept, 1946. It is a good carand mostly complete or the 1910parts needed go with it.

If I do not find the right person, I will keep...

I am trying to SPARK an interest in forming a Coupelet Club. I have had discussions with Russ Furstnow (the coupelet King and Speedometer Czar). Together we have a list of 79 people who own (or previously owned) a coupelet (1915-1918). These rare model T's are quite a sight to behold and a real blast to drive. All coupelet owners are invited -...
