Re: Would theses bits make a T
I want to know how you got the manifold and carb on the LEFT side of the motor... I thought it was a reversed negative shot of a RHD car until I saw the Ford Script. So... what's the back story on...

Re: Model T/Fordson mystery ignition part

Re: Number of Teeth in the Rear end Pinion Gear

Re: Model T magnetized?
My vote is for the car being picked up by a wrecking yard magnet. Unless it was driven by those space aliens that went unnoticed until the Roswell incident... ;)
