Re: Tight crank gear
Heat the gear with a oxy/acet or blow torch. Heat it quite but not enough to show any color on it. It should then slip on, at least part way, then gently pound it on all the way. I made a driver...

Re: Not A, But Interesting
Very interesting! Makes me wonder how Ford and Dodge/Plymouth made their tubular axles in the late 30's? Chrysler also made one but it was a 3-piece unit with riveted on ends.

Re: Sticking valves?
I definitely recommend IMO but also think your rings may be worn, because the compression is slow but fine with oil added. Do the MMO first.

Re: Winfield Model M updraft carb

Re: Side Water Outlet

Re: Winfield Model M updraft carb
They were only used on T's. They are better than the stock T carb, but IMO a bit small for the Model A. I've run a few Winfield model S on my warmed up Model A, and really like them.

If yours is a late '31, it has narrower fenders and no fill panel. Late 31's have the fuel shut-off on the front side of the firewall, a dropped steering support, not attached to the gas tank, and a...

Re: Model A hubs on V8 Axle?
Yes they can but the only advantage is the spring mounting. You can just make a bolt-on bracket to accomplish this.

Re: Vacuum advance dist. for Model A
For a dist with vacuum advance you will need a carb wit a port for that, most vacuum dists don't use manifold vacuum. I doubt if there would be enough improvement to notice?
