Re: Ah Ha! I'm Brilliant! A 12 volt, 3 CP bulb installed in your instrument panel light on your original 6 volt model A will give you a nice dim, glowing light on your instruments that you won't mind leaving on while you drive at night. The stock 6 volt bulb is too bright.

Well Bill, this might not apply to a model a since I have yet to find a phillips head screw on mine:confused: but have you ever had a phillips head screw that was boggered up in the cross and tight as the dickens ?? Try putting a dab of valve grinding compound on the tip of the phillips screw driver and screw that sucker out !!! :D |

Great idea!:D That might even help on slot head screws to keep the blade from crawling out. For slot head screws, I hollow grind the tip of the blade so it has straight sides instead of wedge shape sides, helps quite a bit. Bill W. |

Re: Ah Ha! I'm Brilliant! Hood hinge rod removal with an electric drill works well. Lube up the hinge with your favorite penetrating oil let sit overnight. Tap the rod out an inch or so, attach the drill to it. Once you get it spin just put some pressure on it and it will pull out.

Re: Ah Ha! I'm Brilliant! I have a 2 year old daughter who is running all around, putting her hands on everything........so to protect my "A" I have walled off half the garage using an old refridgerator box.
No more sticky fingerprints on shiny black fenders!!! |
Re: Ah Ha! I'm Brilliant! Cut an old coil wire in half,:eek: peel of 1" of insulation on each end, insert each end through 2 opposing holes in a small button, twist them tightly & neatly, & Voille,' you have a built in, hands free, spark testing GIZMO!!:D
Another trick, to test your coil tower for high voltage leak, in the dark, coil wire out, key on, crank it and look for spark jumping out of coil tower to primary terminals or coil case.:eek: Bill W. (There's 1 Barner that thinks I NEVER contribute usefull info.:eek: So how about that, DUDE.:D) |
Re: Ah Ha! I'm Brilliant! If you want to check the spark at the plugs,hold a flourescent tube near a plug wire & it will flash every time a plug fires.Even a burnt-out one will do.

Re: Ah Ha! I'm Brilliant! A friend's idea,when fitting those +*&$%#@^ fussy fender and bodywelts, secure them in place with peel off self sticky velcro patches, they can be repositioned if necessary and they also make up extra thickness for those areas that might not grip it tightly.:eek: I had a loose one, an I put some Gorilla Glue in a hypo needle, injected it in the crack and taped it down 'til it dried.:D
For that dried white wax in hidden cracks, push drier lint into a soft toohbrush, dip it in water, scrub crack, wipe with damp cloth, and it looks perfect! I also amused Pat by making stick on mustaches from the lint.:D How to know if you'r old, whatever color you tee shirt is, your belly button lint is always GREY!:D Try it!!:eek: Bill W. (I fired the Ghost!!) |
