Is there storage under the rear seat of a Tudor?

That Lithium charger says it is for 12 volts.....will it work to jump a 6volt Model A safely?

We used it to start a friends '46 Ford once. It spins the 6v starter really fast. Just make sure all your lights and any 6v accessories are turned off before you use it.

My Town Sedan was converted to 12v before I bought it but still had the 6v starter. 12v didn't seem to hurt the 6v starter. I have just recently put 12v Field Coils in my 6v starter. I have never had to use the Lithium Jumper on my car.

Sorry roccaas. I didn't intend to hijack your thread.

Under my 29'Tudor rear seat I kept a bottle jack, chocks of wood for the front wheels when jacking, a spare carburetor,distributor, head gasket and sealer, water pump, plugs, condenser,points,fuses and the original tool kit and also a modern tool kit with 1/2 inch drive sockets and drive handle. Also duct tape and wire. I kept the crank under front seat so it was handy if needed. Never needed any of that stuff except a fuse one time in 28 years.

In my Tudor, I put a box under the rear floor on the passenger's side (LHS). It's not like I could use it as a garage but I surprise myself often at how much I put in there. I have seen Model As with the battery mounted on the firewall. I put another tool box there - about the size of a battery and put lots more stuff in it. I have all the tool space I need.

Have any of you ever installed a Tudor Basement? Snyder's 2015 catalog shows one on page A-185. I always thought they looked neat but my car is a TS.

For the purpose of 'Timing', you can use a special tool that turns the crankshaft - rotating it in either direction. You do this from the engine compartment so it is in the right location for a one-man timing operation. MacsAutoParts has this tool ("Timing Wrench" part # 28-56532-2) on page 309 of their 2014 catalog, or find it online; MacsAutoParts.com. Most likely other venders may carry it as well.

For the purpose of getting your car started, without a crank (access hole blocked by tool box) - either park on a hill, or make sure there are a few people around who would like to 'inter-act with a living-history' automotive experience. i.e. - three guys pushing, while you 'pop' the clutch.

In Dad's 29 Tudor we installed a Model A Basement which is a sheet metal box under the floor boards between the front and rear seats. He carries a lot of stuff in there, and still has room for more. The boxes straddle the torque tube with plenty of clearence
