Re: Follow up to Registration Woes
It was scary the first time I drove mine. Now, 35 miles would be like a trip around the block. You will get to the point where you won't want to park it after a while. A few months ago I went with...

Re: Model A Registration Woes
The state that it is currently registered in may have put a registration plate on the firewall or the inside door jamb. If that state issued a state assigned number you may be home free.

Re: water pump end play how to stop?
Are you sure it was the fan on the shaft or is it play in the shaft in the water pump housing? If it is the shaft, which is REAL common, you can rebuild or buy a rebuilt water pump. However, a much...

Re: Trans Bearings
By the time you get the tranny out and apart, the additional cost and work to replace all the bearings and get new shafts with O rings is all pretty minimal, and worth the effort and cost. Taking...

Re: Install generator
Fifty years ago you could probably hold the generator still and even jockey it around with one hand while simultaneously lining up the bolt. I seem to have less arm strength than I did 50 years ago,...

Get a pneumatic grease gun or you are in for a lot of hand pumping. I pumped and pumped and pumped, and then borrowed one and finally got the grease out the speedo hole. I think Harbor Freight...
