Re: Spark rod rubbing
Interesting hypothesis Chuck, but how can you tell if the frame is sagging?
on mine, the previous owner seems to have bent the rod slightly to compensate but to no avail.

Spark rod rubbing
I was messing with taking some pics of the engine for a fiend and noticed the spark lever rod is rubbing on top of one of the engine Nuts.

As I tried to write before being logged out, as usual there are several resolutions to one issue.

Re: shavings found in light switch body
@joe K: So you guys are suggesting the someone tried to put a twilight plate on top of the H style contact? That explains why it was so difficult to get the light switch at the steering wheel to make...

Re: shavings found in light switch body
I got a new light switch body from Snyders. If I recall it was labeled as 28-29 but appears to be for a twolight not an H config.
There is also a caveat note saying you have to do about ten thousand...

Hi All,
I've been off the grid for a while but now back and looking to replace the wire harness in the old 28-29 Sport Coupe.
I disconnected all the wiring and removed the light switch body....

Re: pin switch in door jamb?

Re: pin switch in door jamb?
Tom,
I am going to do just that. I was adding a separate turn signal system and was having a heck of a time. On each discovery it was obvious a new harness was needed. Since I already have the turn...

Not that exact statement Y-block. I was using poetic license. But there are enough discussions on this forum about Model A theft that many seem to think no one would steal a Model A and even if they...

Re: pin switch in door jamb?
Why would you put a door alarm on a 1928 coupe? So, if this is true, this door jamb has been modified and is NOT correct for a period 1928 coupe?

Ok, I guess my initial question will not be answered. Pretty simple: Should this apparent pin switch be in the door jamb of a 1928 sport coupe?
