MTFCA Forum

I have one last set of Schraeder valve stems and dust caps to sell, but Australia post will not accept any parcels from anybody for postage to USA until the beautiful tariff system is ironed out. At present, 10% is to be applied to all shipments of $800 or more. The kicker is there is a flat $80 charge for any parcels under $800. So my $125 set of...

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...

Good afternoon ,
I was just finishing up the last of the wiring and then ,, woops .
Appears the contact had been previously epoxied .
That would explain the stakon connector .

Il order a new magneto tower but I’m unsure of how to determine if the contactor is the correct height .
If not long enough then no voltage ,, but if too long I don’t want...

Hi folks:
New to the forum and hoping you can point us in the right direction. I've done a search here and don't see anything pertinent to my question.

My grandson has a '26 roadster pickup and since next year will be the 100th birthday of the truck as well as Route 66, it would be fun to drive it along parts of the route. What we're looking for...

I'm installing a rebuilt 1915 engine. I see numerous Model T engine installation tips on our forum, but I'm wondering if there are any pads installed under the two rear engine mounts (leather, cloth, or ?).

Williamson’s instruments inc. just sent me the original MotoMeter water temp gauge I sent them a few months back because they can no longer get the gas needed to fix it. It is a lovely gauge but does not work. If Williamson’s can’t do it I am not sure who can.

At last year's MTFCI International Tour in Cadillac I saw a couple of radiator caps with little anemometers on them. The cups spin as you go down the road (or it's windy.) Does anyone know who might be making and selling them? I have a Berg's radiator and have learned the hard way I can't put anything too heavy on the filler neck or the neck comes...

I just got my carburetor rebuilt, and it is on the way back here. I have some extremely fine rust particles that I see after filtering some of the fuel through a coffee filter (very fine) while the carb is off the vehicle. I've spent a lot of money so far and want to make due with what I have for now rather than replacing the fuel tank. This...

Thinking into the future a little, While I'm waiting on a Layne KC Warford transmission to become available I thought it might be a good idea to upgrade the braking on the 1919 T with disc brakes due to the increase speeds I will be going. I have at the moment the reproduction AC brakes. They stop ok but I just bet they will not have the stopping...

Is it just for EV's? I do not know. fordlogo.jpg ew assembly line in Louisville, too.

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...

done with this

I put a New Day in and was not happy with it.

IMG_4149.jpeg IMG_4160.jpeg IMG_4208.jpeg IMG_4210.jpeg For the last 7-8 years I gathered parts in hope of building a Torpedo. So I thought it’s time to put the chassis together and we’ll think about a body later. So for now I brought what I have to the shop and started with riveting brackets to the frame, straightening and aligning said brackets...

Here is a touchy topic for discussion;

Since finishing restoration and then taking my new pride and joy out on tours, it, and I, have been ridiculed by some in our local Clubs for bring a piece of $#!% or a Faux Eleven , or a Hodgepodge or a Disneyland car to the event. The kicker was when a long time and respected Model T-er said that my T is...

So about 3 and a half years ago my wife found a 1926 Touring for sale in the local paper. I went to look at the car and bought it. The guy showed me a video of the car running form the previous year. He said the the Clutch was stuck and that was why the rear wheel was now not moving. As I took a better look at it when I got it home I found that...
