Re: Lack of activity on the site?
I use Windows and it is one click of the mouse to resize. One more click to confirm. Everybody makes it hard trying to reinvent the wheel like some of the Model T modifications.

Re: Sort of off topic engine paint
Tom Carnegie I think was the one who mentioned using Never-Seez as paint on the exhaust manifold. After it is heated from the running engine it sets and looks like bare metal. I have it around the...

Re: Ammeter hook-up
Put a voltmeter in and be done. Also, 15max, the Alternator puts out DC current as well as the generator. Good Luck.

Re: Sort of off topic engine paint
I use over the counter Kilz brand spray paint only because it was the shade of green I wanted. It works fine and even on the head looks good. It's been on two engines now for 7 years and never had...

Re: model t still having problem
Make sure your distributor body is grounded to the battery well and the moveable plate that the points mount to has a good ground to the body of the distributor also.

Re: my stalled project..

Re: Generator Voltage Adjustment
Yes, so after the first 5 miles the battery should be recharged so you really don't need anymore after that. If you don't drive much at night but do occasionally, then a discharge with the lights on...

The generator is rated at 100 watts max output. Amps x volts = watts. If you are putting out 7 volts (6 volt system), 7 volts x 15 amps = 105 watts. The harder you work the generator the shorter...

Re: model t truck
Check your distributor ground. Might need to run a wire from distributor body to engine or battery ground.

Re: Next problem ?
With all due respect, what they are trying to tell you is yes it will run fine until you need a manifold because the rings are missing. Then you get to spend the money on $85 on a new manifold, or...

Re: model t engine timing
Move the crank clockwise looking at the front of the car until the pin in the pulley is pointing at 9:30 to 3:30. That will give you 15 degrees. The idea is that you want to make sure that the...
