Well I just got back from a test drive with the new alternator. Looks like that was the issue. She's running great.
New alternator arrives today. Went with a Tuff Stuff Silver Bullet. Below the picture is a link to an article about this issue. [IMG]...
Engine was fully rebuilt in 2017. Everything up to par with new carb, distributer, plugs, wires, alternator, starter and fuel pump. When we...
Currently trying to get a GM big block 454 running decent. GM HEI ignition. Old school big block with no computers and such. Carbureted. It used...
Realize this is an old thread. I have some experience with this. I have a 28 Model A that I bought. The previous owner installed the tie rod out...
Get a load of this... in the trash can. [MEDIA]
Can't use the existing fittings. When you change to teflon lined, you need the fitting made for it... and usually the same brand as the line.
No kidding. I could not figure out why this thing was running so horrible. As soon as I switched to the spare line that was meant to be a return,...
My 29 model A has braided fuel lines running from the tank to the fuel pump. The line out of nowhere just started leaking... no damage. I did...
All sold

OK here is where I am. NOBODY so far sells a factory, solid rod, 11/16" tie rod other than the original length. Everything else is a DOM tube with...
Previous owner put the tie rod out front but then the steering arms were angled inwards opposite the Ackerman geometry. I machined anti-rotation...
I think my rod is solid. I would be surprised if it isn't. BTW I am a machinist but was looking to see if i could buy off the shelf an original...
Do you all think solid cold rolled 1018 steel is sufficient? Seems to be the only type available in 11/16" dia.
Actually this is the reason I need a longer tie rod. To maintain Ackerman angles. If I bend the arms I lose the geometry.
Thanks.... I guess I'll buy a length of 11/16 dia. rod and thread the ends. Been easier if I could buy 11/16-24 LH threaded anything and put them...
I need a longer tie rod than the stock 1928 rod that currently measures 43-1/2" bare from end to end. The threads are 11/16-24 LH/RH In all of my...
Thank you. This answered my question as to why the wheel turns excessively on the wrong side at full lock. It's like in a parking lot I'm pushing...
Not 28-31. Thrust goes on top of the spindle.
Hello all, I've replaced the balls on the steering arms and am ready to install the tie rod rebuild kits. The question is, the spring assemblies...
Where's Linda Vaughn?
Prefer local pickup. I've got a bunch of 28-29 Model A body parts I'm going to sell. They came with a project car and I won't be needing them....
OK ... respectfully... I just read that. It doesn't say no rat rods. It doesn't describe what traditional means Shoot me. I don't care if I can't...
I just got my thread deleted. I suppose there is no discussion at all of rat rods on this site? Or did I post in the wrong category? Mike
