Doesn't the spark advance lever give/adjust the final timing?

Re: '29 A Town Sedan, over heating

Also, as history, prior to this spring ('19), the car had not been started for about 20-25 years. As to the cooling system, it had antifreeze in it. (I have already drained and flushed the fuel...

Re: '29 A Town Sedan, over heating

That should be "SHOOTS" to the top of the thermometer.

'29 A Town Sedan, over heating

Runs for about 10-15 min and overheats. Put new radiator cap with thermometer on and after 10 - 15 min of normal driving it boils over and the temp shorts to the top of the thermometer.

Re: Otwell Health Heater Exhaust manifold

Mike,
I found out how to attach pics. Take a look. Is the heater supposed to lineup with the tube through the firewall? Is there supposed to be a connection like a heater hose?

Re: Otwell Health Heater Exhaust manifold

Did you see the pics I posted with the Otwell? Is the Otwell not good for the Fordor Murray Sedan? What manifold should it have?

Re: Otwell Health Heater Exhaust manifold

Have attached two pics.
It seems that the rear of the engine needs to be raised also.

Re: Otwell Health Heater Exhaust manifold

Joe K - thanks for the quick reply. How can I find/see the Service bulletin 294? I am very new at this. The A was my father's.

Also, how does the "Heater" connect to the tube in the firewall?
