Re: Different length rear axle shaft threads on either side?

If the axles "spin" inside the hub tapers one won't go very far.

Re: powermaster 6 volt alternator install 1928 model a

A segmented (aka link) belt should work. You can adjust the length.

Re: Electric Fuel Shut off

If I was going to use the solenoid shut off valve I would put it under the dash, not in the engine compartment.

Re: Babbit replacement

Problem is I don't have any old rods or otherwise to melt the babbit out of.

Re: Clutch Plate Bolt question

The flywheel is cast iron, so it is easily stripped if the bolt is over tightened.

If installing a Helicoil or similar insert use the pressure plate for an alignment guide when drilling.

The horn power comes right off the cutout, doesn't go through the fuse unless the engine is off.

Re: How many miles should spark plugs last?

Swap # 4 plug around w/another plug, drive it around for a while then check the plug that is in #4 and also the plug that was previously in #4.
