@Fabber McGee , Don't buy a pump for $75, got to the MTFCA site and ask for a pump. Most guys use them as wheel chocks. On a stock T, they serve...
BTW, I calculated out the oil capacity, 3 gallons (12 quarts). The pan fill dimensions are 9.5" x 20" x 4" high.
Thank You. I know this part is probably boring to some, but it is part of the build. Some might be "Why does it take so long" that last couple of...
Taking some advantage of a day off, I decided to continue work on the oiling system. I needed to make temporary stand offs to hold and get the...
Is it progress if it's backward progress? I needed to fix my oil pan. If you recall, I made a big spacer ring to bolt to the back of the block....
When Mike Bender did all my machine work, his advise was install the cam straight up. But I know others may have opinions that vary. I am running...
Id like to know more about this. I have probably a less than ideal cam in my T so I'd like to know any information on secrets of unlocking some...
Awesome build! The videos are great too!
As much as I'd like to say yes, no there hasn't. Hard to just go out and work on something in the garage when it's cold out. And when I do heat it...
Ohhhh, would like more info on the adaptation of the 4-speed....really more about the sealing of the back of the block. Looks like a flywheel...
Been watching this on Instagram, GREAT JOB!! We need more like you to be able to step up to the plate so to speak and start carrying this stuff...
I'm almost shocked at the balancing responses. Heck, in our local Model T club, even in our bone stock T engines we've seen the differences of...
I am a big proponent of balancing, But I also have a guy that does an outstanding job. You need the pistons, rods, piston pins, piston pin...
@Fabber McGee You'd think it would work like absolute garbage with straight venturis and no boosters....truth be told it blew the normal Holley...
Yup, I know about that. I used Model T spring and perches. The T perches have caster built in, unlike the Model A's and later Fords. Well aware of...
Are you referring to my post about the C&S carb? I don't have photos of it, it was 22 years ago, probably on one of my old destroyed hard drives....
That is correct. Two barrel carbs were measured at 3.0" Hg and the 4bbl carbs at 1.5"Hg Those old Holley "500 CFM" two barrels (essentially half...
I'm good with 2x4's and 3" wood screws :)
Thanks Nailhead. It's not a parts issue, it's getting the time / motivation / and right frame of mind to work on it. As far as the body, I need...
Sadly, no. Been real busy with side jobs after work. Plus being winter it's cold in the garage. Heating it requires time and money (kerosene), and...
Is there a bind or a twist in the axle that is causing the bushings to wear? For example, on Model Ts, the axle can be pushed or pulled out of...
When you figure out if you have 18mm or 16mm threads (you can get 18mm to 14mm adapters online), then you can go to here and search a plug :...
Looks good. Tire rub could be a different offset on the wheel or tire size variation. I like it though with the wires. The color can vary alot on...
If you bought 14mm plug adapters, the world is wide open. the next hotter plug is a NGK with a 5 in the heat range. I guess the next question is...
I wonder if this will be the year I can get the Fronty fired up.............
Ohhhh, I like that. Didn't know they made one like that.
Those are Buick rockers----says right on the side with the part# I can't read. Probably the same ones I need for the Fronty head.
@Carter Great info. Thank You for contributing.
I know what the caption says, but that roadster sure as heck looks like it has a Frontenac Valve cover on it, and so I would assume Fronty head...
I fully agree. I don't think you can successfully get a plate to work any thinner than 1/2" and in my opinion just to make it seal correctly...
