Re: Michigan or Bust
I think we'll go across on 94 because that's the hwy our hotel in Battle Creek sits on. But we'll keep you in mind.

Re: Michigan or Bust
thanks! Made it into Detroit today, and went to Edsel's home. I've been to & done everything in Detroit before, but Edsel's house is so nice I wanted to go back. Definitely way better than Henry's....

Re: Michigan or Bust
Yesterday the bolts came out of the header, and when that happened I think something happened to the rear clamp, but it didn't fully break until about 200 miles down the road today.

Re: Michigan or Bust
We are in Dayton, Ohio. Would have probably made it to Detroit, but had some more muffler problems. OF ALL THINGS, that darn muffler just doesn't want to stay on there!

Re: Michigan or Bust
Would have gone further, but had a minor problem and it would have been dark by the time we got to the next town...so we elected to just stay here.

Made it from Fort Worth to Jackson, TN today. About 600 miles. Plan to do about the same tomorrow.

Re: Torqueing Manifold bolts
I would consider un-torquing them and just snug them up. I would be afraid of the cracking after heating up because they won't be able to expand under that much pressure.

Re: Straps for rear rack
It's better to lay on your back with truck on the rack. Look up and you'll see 4 holes already drilled in the rack. Then you just drill through the trunk and add bolts/nuts. It's much more secure....

Re: Need RX for Hill Climbing
A Model A isn't going to soar up any mountain. Second gear at 20-25 mph would be expected. If you tried third, you were probably lugging and it wouldn't pull. Maybe you were just expecting it to be a...
