Re: I'm looking for some insight !
The original T motor is currently out of the car because I didn’t want to hurt it in any way. It has never been rebuilt, runs on the mag, has no starter, two piece valves, and burns a little oil....

Re: No such thing as a dumb question
freighter Jim... I see him on the Model T ford Club of America forum at times and maybe Facebook. I live in Raleigh and have an 18 ft open car hauler for my T and A that might work.
I just saw...

Re: 30/3.5 tires
I found that the key to dis- mounting and mounting tires is the sun and a hot day.

I found the second wooden stand so there are two stands, two motors, one bell housing, one flywheel, and one clutch assembly.

Re: Am I allowed to win?
It runs again! I win, at least for the moment.
It was most likely a stuck float, but since I took a bunch of stuff apart I’ll never know for sure.
The only issue is that it doesn’t start easily,...

Re: Model A Auto Transmission

Re: Am I allowed to win?
This reminds me of Hee Haw
Doom, Despair, and Agony On Me.

Re: Sealing oil leaks?
Hey Red....My 19 came without a starter but one can be added, which I did.
