Re: Anyone in or near Santa Clarita, CA to help with Model A

Highlight your issues and troubles with the car. Are you having trouble rolling up the windows or going down the road at 45mph?

Re: ‘34 Roadster side curtain rods?

From David G's post the other day, it sounds like he still may have some in his possession that he sorted for you? If that's the case, I'd be interested in a 35-36 phaeton set.

Re: ‘34 Roadster side curtain rods?

I’ll have to inquire with him once he gets them back! At least he has them.

Re: ‘34 Roadster side curtain rods?

Did you talk to Third Gen? I'm in the same boat with 35/36 phaeton curtain rods. I found a set of original side curtains I can use for patterns, but no rods yet.

Re: 1936 Phaeton - Engine cowl louvre (1) missing

Those are hood sides. The hood is comprised of four pieces, two top pieces, and two side pieces. Both are unique to left and right.

But again, you're referring to hood sides.

Re: 1936 Phaeton - Engine cowl louvre (1) missing

He's talking about the louvered side panels in the engine compartment that bolt up to the fender. I can't remember the correct term, but I think they're often referred to as inner fender panel.

Re: 1935 Phaeton question

What's the body tag number say? Should be on the passenger side firewall, facing "up".

Re: Alternatives to Flywheel Safety Wire

Is this a stock application with a stock flywheel weight, or something different? We know it’s worked for 90 years, and why change, right. But you didn’t describe what you’ve changed that requires...

Re: Need a high altitude '36 carburetor

I know Mark and Gary well. I’ve bought a lot of A parts from Gary, and a lot of super nice 36 parts from Mark. You and I have met many times before, usually at the now defunct San Diego swap meet. I...

Re: Need a high altitude '36 carburetor

I thought it was the one Mark Williamson had and maybe even still has. It's similar, but his was black and I believe an original paint car.

Re: riley ohv conversion

It has the fuel pump boss, you can see it in the first pic. It also has the correct B oil pan and bell housing.

Snap On Cylinder Head Obstruction Wrench

I have three Snap On obstruction wrenches. These let you torque the cylinder head with the distributor in place. Great tool that is no longer made. $60 each, plus shipping.

Re: B Carb on an A?

I have a B carb on a B manifold. It works great. I turned the carb mounting bolts to get the carb to rotate and align to fit the A attachments.

Re: Bratton's Catalog

There are several on ebay right now, from about 1997 to 2012. This looks like your best bet at this point. Either way it looks like you need to adapt, buy an older one, or use the online version. ...

Re: Trailering Model A Cabriolet

Re: Block temp before thermostat opens

No.

You can always enlarge or drill more bypass holes in the thermostat to speed up the opening.

What does your modern car do in this situation? Let’s not over worry about something that...

Re: Berg Radiators

Why not call Berg's and ask? I doubt anyone here will have the answer, without calling them as well.

Awesome job! I don’t need your products as I don’t have a truck of that vintage, but I appreciate your time and effort. You are one reason why the hobby continues!

Re: Car swamp cooler thoughts

No, not at all. The window secures the cooler against the door without any issue. I have an old original cooler, and have used them on old cars for fun.

They are not highly effective, because...
