Default Re: Chasing the knock.

These are all basic maintenance with use issues.

This looks to be a nice car that was most likely loved by the previous owner. The guy is 80 years old. He probably could no longer care for car. Give him a brake. That’s why it was sold.

Body looks good, engine now sounds good, interior is good. Cars 90 years old. Every used car today will need some service work.

Every Model A that I have owned needed basic maintenance work. I have replaced the timing gear and done a complete tune up on everyone we have owned. Somethings are basic, need to be checked, on these cars.

Sludge in oil pan, timing gear, wiring, springs, brakes, front end, steering box, shocks, radiator, clutch, carburetor, gas tank, anyone who wants a good running car knows the list.

Nice paint, good interior, side mounts and trunks, they could be lipstick on a pig if the other things aren’t right.
