Can someone tell me thickness of the wood blocks between the running board brackets and boards on my 1926 T?
Thanks in advance.

Mike

Continuing on with the restoration of the running gear, up next is the rear axle. Daisy has obviously seen a lot, had travelled across the US in '16, and must have been driven hard, as every time I dig into something she show's me she's hurtin all over.

So, out she came...

This one is a new one for me. “Best” timer. It appears to be exactly like the Nu day. Anyone else seen these? Know anything about them?

The 11th annual Luray swap meet is just around the corner. We are on track for another great swap meet. We are currently @ 110 vendor spaces sold. More spaces are still available. Put these dates on your calendar, you won't want to miss it!!!

Does any one know what cover will fit a Blockley meter stem tube? Could not find anything on their site about stems Thanks Dan

Knocking around ideas in my head.
Has anyone attempted to build their own driveshaft spool with modern bearings?
if so, are there any bearing part numbers for the bearing race, conical bearing, sealed bearing, shims and collar?
I know they make kits but kind of wondering if I can get the internals and then do the machine work myself.
I am not sure...

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?

If you were going to try to make a stock T engine and transmission as leak proof as possible, what items would you attend to? I'll list some. If I miss any, add them. All oil pan bolts (engine and hogshead), Oil pan inspection cover bolts, Transmission pedal shafts, Camshaft front cover seal, Front crank seal. I didn't list places like the...

I have a 1915 Touring with the usual radiator-mounted choke-rod. Also have an NH carburetor on a high-flow manifold. My problem is that I see a hazardous possibility of the skinny choke-rod getting hooked onto and interfering with the thick throttle-rod (where the cotter pin fastens the throttle rod to the carburetor linkage). Has anybody else had...

This is a really cool flip top gas cap. I’ve never seen one like this before.

Looks like it’s plated cast brass. Just takes a 1/4 turn of the dog bone and the cap flips up. Threads into a stock Model T gas cap filler. Plating is worn and tarnished. Could be cleaned up to look nice. Would look great on a speedster!

$75 plus $10 shipping in the...

Does anyone want to share photos and/or descriptions/ideas of their having added a battery to a brass car?

Has anyone ever installed an 8 volt battery in a 1927 Model T?

I was wondering if it would cause any damage to the electrical components, ie. generator, starter, light bulbs.
Appreciate any insight into this situation.
Thanks Joe g

It might be me but I’m seeing a bunch of questions from newbies.
Some questions are so basic (to me) that it makes me laugh.
Many modern folks think Model T parts and procedures are plug and play like today’s vehicles.

Us old guys know T’s take a gentle but firm hand with an understanding of how and why it works.
We need to teach them .. one step...

Fords are rare in early photos of the Tonopah rush. Most people preferred large, expensive cars that could navigate the desert.

Trying to start my Model T after it has sat for 14 years. Any suggestions?

I just bought my first Model T and need help identifying the year.
It is titled as a 1926 and the number on the engine is from 1926. (140?????)
However, someone with more experience than myself tells me everything else is 1925.
I this point I'm not sure what differences to look for between a 1925 and 1926.
Thanks for any help.

Can someone tell me the correct route for the wiring to my tail light. There is a small hole in the area of the bracket, but no corresponding hole in the reinforcement plate. This hole was in the fender when I acquired the car in 1966 and, I assume, was there when the previous owner bought the car in 1953 (price: $27.00, at auction).

I'm sure this question has been asked 1M+ times but could someone send me to the instructions on adding pictures to postings?

I hadn’t done this in a while and now I know why they sell them in packs of 10. Tried to install using a bolt as a driver like I have done in the past but screwed up a couple. Broke down and spent 3 minutes at the lathe making a driver.
