Re: Snyder's New Catalog Came...and a Warning!

Re: Snyder's New Catalog Came...and a Warning!

Re: radiator splashing
One of the things I love about the internet is chances are, if you're asking a question, someone else is wondering the same thing.
My car (31 Victoria) was doing the same thing. When the engine...

Re: Photo request: Page 11, "Model A News"

Re: "Special" Intake Manifold?
It looks like the engine has a Model B exhaust manifold?
The intake manifold is kind of an odd type that seems to be like one of the unusual "unfinished" right hand drive manifolds.

Re: Canadian Model A Info

Re: Value of an Un-Restored Model A Engine
I'll buy multidisk clutch parts all day long. The rest of the transmission, not so much.

Re: Cartouche
I bought my 19 inch tubes with metal stems from Ecklers not long ago. I didn't have any issue with their service. I normally buy from Snyders, but no one else had the tubes in stock.

Re: Champion 3X Spark Plug
Part of the benefit of the 3X plugs it that you can take them apart and clean the individual pieces separately, then reassemble. Using a common scouring pad, they can be cleaned up quite nicely.
