Re: What have you found working on your A?
I have mentioned putting sawdust into the transmission - I found the tranny in the truck shown as my avatar filled thusly - and the gears much as shown in another thread.
Funny, the seller of the truck had another supposedly prize winning 31 Roadster which was his "Model A of note."
I still chalk it up to "knowing the cars." He took what he wanted from the truck and then flipped it in the best way he could. I ended up with an un-number stamped Allstate engine block - which then wouldn't have been nearly so notable - so it all evens out in the end.
Truth is - the tranny actually shifted and sounded pretty good! It took a rebuild using parts of two other transmissions to bring it back to the same level of utility - and even at that I had to experiment with STP and the so called "600W" oil available to me.
I do like the smell of that original tranny oil.
