Re: I just bought another Model A

Sounds like it is going to have a very loving home. Way to go. I have my dad's 30 Tudor that he restored in 1972, but I would love a car like yours.

Re: Is this babbitt?

Yes, it's old. I have had this pile for almost thirty years. I am thinking of scrapping it but wanted to know if someone is interested in it before i do.

Is this babbitt?

I have no idea what this is, my friend was using it as ballast in a sailboat. Is this what babbitt material looks like? I have 40-50 pounds of it. If there is interest I can post it in the swap meet.

Re: Spring........and electric blankets on the A

If you want heat on the motor, use a ceramic heater set under the hood and put a old sleeping bag on top of the hood. You would get much better heat distribution
