Re: Tires
Thanks nkaminar, I too have a "Heavy Fordor, a '30 Town Sedan. I will try increasing the pressure and see how it rides.
BTW a "heavy" Town Sedan is only ~245 ibs. more than a deluxe Coupe.

Re: Tires
How is the ride at that pressure?Do the tires wear more in the middle being over pressured?
I run my American Classic radials at 35 psig and it rides really nice.

Re: Westach Ammeters.
Typical Model A mentality. We bitch about cheap parts not fitting or working correctly then we bitch about the price of a quality part.

Would the voltmeter have a continuous draw if wired that way. I think it would have to be switch?

Re: Looking for my next project.
I would say most 1930-31 cars, closed or open, have more room than the 1928-29, except most of the Fordors, which are the basically same for all years.
