Re: Vacuum advance dist. for Model A

The repro starter switch contacts are made from copper, which isn't as springy as the original, which were made of a brass alloy. Sometimes a spark will arc between the stud on the starter and the...

Re: horn wiring. '31

That might be a bandaid fix when the horn is weak when the engine isn't running. When the engine is running the horn is wired directly from the generator cut out, so it would be getting full voltage...

Re: Backfire

Are you running a Tilotson carb? The pot metal used in the Tillys tends to warp. Heat exacerbates the warping. You may be opening up a gap at the mating surface between the carb and intake...

Re: mixing brake shoe linings

I have two Model As, both with cast iron drums. One has bonded, one has woven. I can lock up the rear wheels on both. The one with the woven linings has a somewhat softer pedal feel. That's...

Re: Front Radius rod / rubber ball

The secret is not to use the rubber ball. If you're using the rubber ball because the steel ball is worn, a new ball can be welded on.
