Hi all,

My name is Kevin and I'm the proud new caretaker of my late grandfather's model t.

tl/dr: I inherited a T. Bill Squires is awesome, and I'd never use anyone else. I'm in NW Tennessee, know little about what I'm getting in to, but know I want to do it right. I'd love to meet other folks in my area, even if it's just to share the love of...

I have this in parts section, but I really don't know what it is.
Besides Holley carb part. Anyone know?

Looking at Ford script hand oiler cans, how can on tell a T era can from a Model A era can? How can one tell an original T can from a reproduction T can, as I know they used to be reproduced (I have one)?

It's always fun, to me, when working on the T, to look for where there is 'Ford' stamped into each and every part. I thought this would be a fun thread to have, posting pictures of all the 'ford's on our Fords. :)

Here's one, on a rear axle shaft.
Where's the ford on your car?

Hi.
Meanwhile I successfully replace the roller timer by a new (similar) one.
I also verified the distance of 65mm / 2.5 between spark advance rod on timer and the screw at oil fill socket.

Because the battery was empty, I connected the battery charger and tried to crank start the engine for first test run while the battery is charging.

My second engine Ive built for my 21 touring ( damn broken crankshafts) was rebuild by someone decades ago and shelved, So naturally I go through it to make sure its was built well. Well it wasn't, cylinder clearance too tight, bearings too tight but Ive sorted that. However the 0.080 Pistons seem to stand proud a good amount more above the block...
