Re: Shock ID
Thanks everyone. That would make a lot of sense. My dad bought this car in the mid-60’s and the prior owner had a Ford dealership and garage. There were other modifications done to it as well.

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb
I think it’s the throttle shaft. Put my Model A Zenith on this afternoon and it runs fine. Which is the better repair? I don’t have a drill press.

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb
My cold start procedure is very similar to yours, I only choke 1 or 2 revolutions and it starts fine. My problem began in attempting to get to a slow idle. It doesn’t respond to the idle air mixture...

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb
I’ll check the idle passage, haven’t tried that. I’ll bet that the leak is coming from weep hole, I can’t find anything else leaking. It isn’t much but it shouldn’t be dripping at all and it’s only...

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb
I pulled the drain plug and the main jet is tight. Throttle shaft does have some slop in it, can pull it back and forth (or in and out) probably 1/8”. Don’t have a vacuum wiper line, plug in manifold...

Need Help with Model B Carb
I’ve been trying to adjust the idle on the Model B carb on my ‘28 roadster. However, no adjustment to the idle air mixture screw will cause it to stall. In fact, when I near all the way CW it seems...

Re: Best plugs..??
Please disregard my earlier post, obviously I was thinking of points. However I am interested in what you use for spark plug gap if you run a high compression head.

Re: Best plugs..??
The O'Reilly description stated a plug gap of 0.033" to 0.038". What do you use for Model A's? Isn't .018 to .022 recommended?
