Re: Steering box ?
NLGI #0 (semi-liquid) grease is used by many people for this application. Stops the leaks, but 'levels out' or flows enough to keep everything lubed.

Re: Flowing Jets
Lowering the float level a little will make it run leaner. Not a jet solution, but food for thought...

Re: Flowing Jets
I've had my share of carb rebuilds (from Whizzers to DC-6) and theory classes too. I agree with you that the high altitude will cause a richer mixture. I must believe that Ford (or after-market)...

Re: Exhaust note
I have a factory muffler on my truck. It seams like a lot of the baffle holes are much larger than they were originally. I keep wondering if I should replace my muffler to get that nice factory...

Re: Thermostat--Yes or NO
Have a friend with a '29 roadster PU that I helped a few weeks ago. Kept overheating. Yeah, you guessed it. His T-stat was about 5 years old.

Re: Fuel Problem?
Al is right on the money with the throttle shaft. The drain plug idea is a good one!

Re: Fuel Problem?
Just so you are aware, the rubber tipped float valves can stick during operation, but seem fine when you take them apart. Guess how I know! I've used the two-ball type since the 70's, when I can...

If the carb is using a rubber tipped float valve its more likely to stick than the two steel ball type...

The Gulf Oil service station, a Black A, and me
I stopped at this Starbucks just a couple days ago. I usually don't come here, but it sure got me thinking.

Re: Model A - Pickup help
Between you and me Sync, I love seeing a wall-size map with Australia at the top, and in the center, and 'upside down'. It was my daughters favorite map when see was into that.

Re: Model A - Pickup help
