Floor mat has been spoken for.

An old trick was to use a straw from McDonalds resting on the piston. You can also use a dowel, a metal rod, whatever. Or do it with a friend and have him/her watch the crank pin as you slowly crank it. Lots of good ideas here. Remember, if you go to far, 2 times around and you are back at TDC. If the crank is tight, loosen all 4 plugs and it will...

Someone said awhile back that they were more responsive to orders on their eBay store than their online site
I search heir store for the 1926 floor without luck Here is the eBay sore

As long as they do not interfere with the brakes, you are fine. Just grind them down a touch, run thru a die, and peen them in place.

You need 3 pictures. You only showed us one.

A U-haul trailer will work. You only need a 12 footer. Not the car hauler. That is how I started.

I think I will bring the speedster this year although I could drive again.

I saw a couple at Bob's Antique Parts (the FATMAN in the Forum). They were in his back out building. One in a part pile by the garage door and another in the middle aisle almost opposite on another pile. The bottom straps likely need replacement This is about where I say them and that may be one of them. Send him an email

Bump to the top.

Very nice, William

thank you

As stated in ad, the seats were molded from early 2 cylinder Buick seats, by Vic Groah in California. He actually built a number of Buick bodies and may still have the molds.

Luke, thanks for posting the induction data. I have thought that measuring the reactive impedence of the primary and secondary coils would be a better measurement. I just have got around to ask my wife to order a meter to do this. They are not very expensive, less than a tank of gasoline.

Boring bars anyone?

The first picture looks like the early 1930's because I see at least 2 Model A's and that panel truck, which I can just see the rear end is something made in the 1930's There is still a horse pulled wagon there. Reminds me a lot of what I used to see when I was a boy in Los Angeles area.

The 7th picture with all the women facing toward the back...

Why not get any 23-25 single valve door motor & make it into your 25, with your motor #?

Just to add a little to this. You can't use a late H/H with a early trans as the short brake band will not line up with the short drum. You can use
the early H/H on a late pan & trans but must use the narrow band. The late H/H will not fit the early engine without a late pan & trans and
you will need to remove part of the ears to get it to not...

I showed him Langs tire prices and he named the price. I didnt want to argue with the fella. I think God is on my side.
I did give him all the gaskets for a display board he found. Oh and he is a friend also. :D

And a good friend indeed! I too prefer to ask a reasonable price for stuff, (sometimes too reasonable) so long as me and the buyer...

One thing that you can count on is varied opinions when you post on our forum. Most are good and helpful, so I might as well add mine. When I acquired and restored my old race car in 1967/8 it had the old Alemite grease fittings in the spindles, decent bushings, so they were part of the original package and I left them there, got an Alemite grease...

Craig,

Thank you! I'll take them!

Sending you an email.

Ed

I'm going to be there and I'll take some video

I also need the same horn button for my Canadian T. I thought this one was offered at Langs ( Am I wrong?

Yep, my locking ring type rims for my TT have the Firestone clips as well.

Ernie, I have a few old ones, what does yours look like? can you text a picture to me. Jim 970-373-8864

You might want to change the heading to say New York City surrounding Area.
There is a Model T Club on Long Island. Bob may know someone

If I had the cash, it would be mine. I only live 264 miles away

I’ve got a crank and flywheel for you. Come and see me at my swap meet space.

Thank you Luke for providing additional information on the internal construction of the Ford trembler coil, or buzz coil or vibrator coil.

I am certain that Craig and others have a better understanding on the internal resistance and winding of the primaries and secondaries.

We all enjoy our car in our own way and we make certain that it...

I forgot to mention, the female Anzo snap goes into those. I always pick them up at Hershey when I see them.

Wherabouts?

Good information! I was unaware of that early style.

Are these for 26-7 roadster?

Rec’d and replied.

This is the last batch of these I plan to make. Have just a few left. If you want one, better get one. Dan

If original glands are the thin ships of folde sheet metal I would replace them with solid rings to protect that new manifold. They are only straight once. Look what happened to your original manifold.

Allan from down under.

Last chance if anyone wants me to bring the HCCT to the Auburn Swapmeet for pickup, otherwise it will stay behind in potato land.

You should ask for the socket, not top iron. For Model T's, the top irons are what the top mounts to on the body.

The reading that you're getting refleects the charge on your battery and the load. Same reading with your headlights on ???

Look for:

Important thing to tighten them evenly. First the felloe on the wheel should be straight so the wheel spins true. Then when you tighten the rim down, do it evenly so that there is minimum wobble. I like to tighten diagonally in one direction and then diagonally in the opposite direction to keep everything straight.

Deal of the day-week year!!

Wheels have been sold. I will post again if something falls through.

You're welcome

hopefully you're fitting things before paint... ;)

have fun!

Thirteen and fourteen are the same car and same dog. Different day, because of the amount of snow and tire tread shows on one picture but snow and mud on the other also the radiator cover has been removed on the second picture but both have the same license plate.

If the 24 sale doesn't happen please notify me thanks Eric.

This is an interesting story. Bump!
Norm

I agreed and it so beautiful. I was searching for this website where I can find a PowerPoint presentation writer because I got a school project and I can't complete them on my own. When I was looking for that website online, I found your post and I love Ford which is why I took an interest in your post.

Will take a bottom dollar of 3500.00

I agree with you, Scott. This will be fixed when I swap out the leaf spring.

Thanks!
Mike

bttttttttttttttt

Have all keys sold yet?

Ring de Banjo comes up as a Stephen Foster song if you google it. However, googling Stephen Foster songs doesn't generally bring up lists including that one. However, he wrote more than 200 songs, and most of the lists that came up only showed about fifty songs, so I guess more than a few are left out.
In my youth, I was quite a Stephen Foster...

I like your responses and will have to take you up on your recommendations.

Thank you.

Ford established a Ford factory at Trafford Park in Manchester UK in 1911 and moved to Dagenham near London in 1931.
As the images are supposedly from 1918 and show British soldiers on 'convalescence' as the Brits called it, they are probably dated from 1917/18.
The model T towncar was probably a taxicab, a very common sight in those days in the...

I thought the whole idea behind Henry Fords model T was to make horses AND bicycles obsolete ? :D

That would be great if my tickler reached the float. As it is, I can start the car on the second pull without flooding. Cold or warm. That would be fine if not for the leak. Kingston mentioned that when the engine is shut off, a supply of fuel fills the main jet tube for starting. I have that plus just a little. Getting the float a bit lower...

Collision Centres seem to be interested only in Insurance Work on late model plasticars. Actual bodywork is being phased out and superseded by Remove and Replace procedures, or simply totalling a damaged vehicle.

Modern vehicles are constructed of sheet steel, often highly tempered steel, with a lot of parts being made of various plastics and...
