Re: Motor Meter or Quail

I have the repro Motor Meters on both of my A's and they work exactly as intended, I am very happy with them, never a problem. No I have no connection with Vintique.

Re: The absolute 'MINIMUM' cylinder wall thickness....

I'm always fascinated by the "just sleeve it back to standard" kinda like it never was overbored. If you are worried about thin cylinders why bore it more and then press in a sleeve with an...

Re: What is the best head gasket for Alum heads

I always used Fel-Pro never had a problem. I'm sure Best brand is also good.

Re: V8 Clutch in Model A: Something is not right

When you tighten up the pressure plate do the release fingers come close to the center of clutch disc not allowing much travel for clutch to release when stepping on pedal? If the disc is too thick...

Re: Timing gears

I would guess an outside supplier, they are often marked "Celoron"

Re: Timing gears

Aluminum with a new or very good crank gear. My two cents. :)

Re: Vulcan 1 cylinder head

Looks like it was cast to be able to add the distributor pin hole, just mark it and drill it.

Re: Main bearing bolts

The original bolts were a snug fit in the block. You would tighten up the nut, after positioning the cotter pin hole in the bolt for best installation. This snugness is what centers the main cap on...

Re: What the heck just happened ? (electrical)

I agree. Not to pile on here but if the car is positive ground your first connection of ground clamp to head bolt was reverse polarity and electronics usually if not always turn up their toes on that...

Re: What cranks are these?

Maybe some good cores but need work to determine if they are usable. None are counter weighted. :)

Re: Blocking manifold heater tube

They make a repair panel for that area, maybe you could fashion something from one of those? :)

Re: Spark Advance/Retard Mechanism

That is why the contact tip on the rotor is so wide.

Re: List of Reproduction "A" Parts That Don't Work

While Vintique can be very frustrating, think of all the things we use that we would not have otherwise. "You have to take the bitter with the sweet". :)

Re: Proper Valve springs for 296 cu.in. flathead with Howard cam M12

Never heard of that one. I would guess that it may be similar to the 425. Others here may have an answer. I was very happy with the 425, idle was good and it made power on a 296 with four 97's.

Re: Proper Valve springs for 296 cu.in. flathead with Howard cam M12

I ran Isky 185 springs on a Potvin 425 eliminator. It regularly turned over 7000 rpm at the drags never a problem. I agree that those double springs aren't worth the bother.
