Re: Valve Cover
Hi Jeff,
Dizzy bushings will cause a random miss fire, Check the color of your plugs if they indicate a lean condition then the mixture could be a issue. I find that my T will run with the mixture screwed all the way in on my model A marvel carb but is to lean to run real well at low altitudes. These are old carbs & needles & seats are not perfect. If you are like most T people you probably have a spare tappet cover, cut it and the gasket down enough that you can see the valves. Be creative and run it like that you should have a minimum of oil loss ( after all it is a model T ) As far as top end lube I use synthetic caster oil, it clings to parts better than MMO and smells better than wintergreen.
Craig.
