Re: Adjusting timing

Yes, that would help. Easily done by noting the position of the rotor.

Re: Adjusting timing

Gene, I like the idea of a harmonic balancer, but of course I have no proof that my engine will live longer. It does seem to run smoother? My engine was balanced when rebuilt, but I don't have...

Re: I give up

I know you said everything is fine with the carburetor but to me your symptoms keep pointing to a clogged idle jet or idle circuit.

Re: Starter issues

I saw a tip isn the Restorer Magazine where a small piece of hose was inserted in the switch to act as a spring to separate the contacts.

I have not tried this, just passing along.

Re: 1931 Tudor Phaeton

Dave, According to a book I was just reading, 2,229 Deluxe Phaetons produced in 1931. Less than half the amount of 400-A Convertible Sedans. I would say a rather rare car.

Re: Cleaning the radiator

Re: Cast fuel bowl leaking- round two

I once had a leak in that location I could not stop weeping.

Re: Which Side Mirror?

JayJay, my bad. Since you gave a Snyder's part # (A-17741-A), I didn't think to look on Bratton's (#24200).

Re: help! clutch won‘t disengage…

Common problem for the clutch arm to break. I had to drive home in second gear. Stop signs were not fun, luckily my car is 12v and I can start the engine while in gear.

I remember MAC's had Teflon Seats impregnated with Bronze. I never tried them, I never had an issue with the teflon ones.

Re: Did a 1929 Ford station wagon in California use passenger or commercial license p

I don't know how it works nowadays but I had a Ford E-100 (½ ton) Econoline Van that had car plates. Car plates/registration was (are??) much cheaper than Commercial Plates.

Re: A perplexing oiling problem - A new one to me!

Marshall, I wouldn't be running your engine too much until you find your problem. I don't imagine you are getting a whole lot of oil to the mains, especially the rear main.

In a car with an indented firewall you don't have that option. Not to mention they fit a ¼" gas line.

Re: snap on door arm rest for 1931 roadster

I can see them not installing the snaps to ensure there is not a mismatch with the position of your current snaps.
