Re: trying to reach Yankee Mike
I dealt with that goof a few years ago on some carburetors and he sent me the wrong parts and said he would make it right and then he went silent and wouldn’t respond. It cost me a lot of money on...

Re: Non-Authentic Paint Colors & Schemes

PCV on multiple carb intake
I’m going to be putting an Edelbrock 4x2 on my 8ba and was wondering if it’s worth goofing around trying to add a pcv system to the engine. This intake has small transfer ports between the carbs....

Re: Any AA trucks running 55mph?
Wheel balance is going to be the problem. There’s a lot of weight in one wheel/tire/tube/flap assembly. I had my front wheels dynamically balanced on my AA but the fenders would still shake over 50...

Re: Model A prices...going which way?
I think the body styles that were traditionally turned into hot rods back in the 40s and 50s are still holding good values. Roadsters and Coupes (not sport coupes) done in a traditional hot rod style...

Re: 8BA compression issues
I just had a similar issue with a flathead 6 Continental on an air compressor when I went to sandblast my Model A body last month. The motor had sat unused for several years but was loose enough to...

Re: Newly acquired '31 AA
Nice looking Truck! I bought my 31 AA when I was about the same age as you are now. Nice to see some younger guys step up to the plate to preserve the old stuff. You and your family will have a...

No reproduction 81s that I’m aware of. Occasionally they are listed on the Hamb for sale. Be prepared to have some significant dough tied up in them by the time you find some decent ones then buy...

Re: 59AB head stud question
I thought it was a big no no to tap the head bolt holes?
That being said if there was a list of the top three mistakes to make when building a Flathead what would they be?

Re: Flathead prices back in the day

Re: Weiand 8.75 Heads
