Re: Ignition problem
I’m not clear on what you’re saying. Is it that you’re not getting spark at the plug when the engine is running? In that case it might be a worn timer surface causing the contact arm to skip at #1....

Re: Is this radiator worth recoring?
The guys are right. It's really shot. A re-core isn't an answer & will accomplish nothing aside from the fact that I think no rad shop will touch it.

Re: Rear brake lights
Lang's and Snyder's have "period" lights. Anything you buy will have to be converted for LED use.

Re: Valve Cover
Listen. If you simply must pull the head for no reason at least do the following; take a dry/wet compression test. Nothing will indicate the engines condition better than that. Since you seem bent on...

Re: Valve Cover
DO NOT... I repeat DO NOT pull the head!!! There's no reason on earth to do that and it will give you absolutely no answers + cost time and $. First off running with the needle valve closed indicates...

Re: Engines stuck
Try to eliminate some stuff. For instance getting the rear wheels off the ground & making sure its in neutral. Just suggesting because it might not be that the engine's stuck but that a drive line...

Re: Blown Head Gasket
You've pretty much got some good answers. They do seem (sometimes) to just go on their own but there's usually a reason. Good clean surfaces, clean the holes out, (important !), and re-torque after...

Re: Keeping a Model T running
No doubt about it (in my opinion) there's more to keeping a T going than an A. It is a fun car to drive in the right situations but not many of those exist on todays roads with today's drivers. Get...

Re: selling my model Ts
There are a number of free old/collector car selling sites. Just look around a bit. Old Ride .com is one.

Re: MTFCofA forum

Re: Model T ability by era question
As stated performance doesn't differ much. I will say though that at 6' 3" and having had a Tudor & a Touring that there's more room in the open car + the Tudor was a'27 with a cowl tank and I think...

Not every body in this hobby is cool. That wrench is usually under $10 at flea markets here in N.J. Aside from the open end wrenches it is the most common with a few slight variations. It's mostly...

Re: Looking at Model T Ford
Touring is probably your best bet (or a runabout 2 seater). Closed cars are tight. I'm 6' 2" and had a '27 Tudor. Just couldn't get comfortable. Maybe it was the up front tank but I sold it & got a...

Re: Axle straightness, from another perspective.
Man I guess it really just depends on the what, where & how much. If spring mounts & camber & toe (and a few other items) aren't affected well that's that. Plus if you didn't check you wouldn't know...

Re: What we learned...Today

Re: Model T as a daily driver
Sorry but Redmodelt has it right. There's a world of difference between the T and the A. The T is basically a wagon with a motor in it and the A is an automobile.

Re: Best place to sell '24
Good advice. Probably the best places (maybe the only places) where you'll definitely find, at least, interested lookers. You certainly can't beat the price either. There are many other free sites...
