Re: Vibration After New Motor

It appears that you have an original steel fan. Check it carefully for bent blades and proper fit on the water pump shaft. Also naturally for cracks.

Re: After replacing with 2 bladed aluminum fan, engine noise abounds

Bob C has the answer. Magic marker on the shaft works too. Get the tapers to match before you crack the new fan or wallow out the fan taper.

Re: Generator and Tom W

I think you need a growler test of your armature. My generator had similar symptoms. The generator should motor at a much lower amperage. When I replaced my armature it motored at less than 5 amps.

Re: Model A lubrication chart

According to the V8 service bulletins Ford changed to a sealed throwout bearing starting in 1935, so if your bearing has been changed since 1935 it is probably a sealed bearing anyway.

Re: So far, so good on mystery engine

those two piece timing gears do not last. Get rid of it now before you install the engine. I'm sure others have had similar bad experience with them as I have had.

Re: Throttle plate/thread pitch

Yes the idle speed screw is 8-32 but don't tap it all the way through. The screw should be tight to hold the adjustment.
