Re: Valve Cover

I didn't pull the head and don't ask me why, but I decided to rebuild the carb and the miss went away. What would cause it to miss from the carb?

Re: Model A hubs on a T

This sounds interesting, do you have any pictures, please? I have two A hubs and new wheel bearings for them. I also have new T bearings now and I was looking at placing the A hubs with the drums...

Re: Model A hubs on a T

Hello,


I have a T with A wheels on it and one of the modified front T hubs was recently damaged. Before I go to the effort of machining two new front hubs from steel, can I please get some more...

Re: Valve Cover

We usually go to Wawa on Friday evenings and fill the tank with their R gas. The gas in it now would be from two Fridays ago because we didn't run it this past weekend. I'm still inclined to pull...

Re: Valve Cover

I think you just helped me with your comment on the tail pipe pop. I will listen to some of my videos and see if it pops.

Re: Valve Cover

That seemed to make it worse. I'm at a loss. I may pull the head and replace the springs. There isn't a lot of time on this engine so I may lap the valves if I see rust on the seats from when it...

Re: Valve Cover

The miss is all over the place. It can be at an idle or when I'm trying to cruise above 32mph. It has an aftermarket intake with a Tillotson model x carburetor and I just bought a rebuild kit for...

Re: Stuart, Florida

I drove up A1A the other day when everyone else in the family was busy. I turned around at Indiatlantica Beach. It took just a little over seven hours up and back at 32mph. Are you near there? ...

Re: Valve Cover

It only seems to be missing every now and then. I have been chasing plugs, wires, distributor, cap, rotor button, etc. and I took a friend for a ride and he said it was a valve sticking. I thought...

Valve Cover

I think I may have a valve sticking on one of my T engines. Can I take the valve cover off and run the engine with it off to watch the valves or will that cause a problem?


Thank you,


Jeff

Re: Model T Sparkplugs

Re: Ruckstell Rear End

Is there no drain plug in the bottom, or does one have to split it apart to drain the oil? I'm not at the car until the weekend and now I am curious.


Thank you,

Ruckstell Rear End

Hello,


My T has a Ruckstell rear end and I'm new to the T world. What type of oil should be used in this rear end? Should I drive it around and get the old oil hot so it will drain out better?...
