The roadster has been sold. Thank!
1929 Roadster Project. About 3/4 complete. High quality Sheffield fiberglass steel reinforced body. Modifications include chopped windshield, '35...
This is probably an old chestnut for most of the folks here, but I'm looking at mounting a reproduction 32 grill and shell on my 29 "A" banger. I...
"Jazz at Oberlin" Very cool early Brubeck/Desmond. I saw the "Take Five" version of the quartet at Finney Chapel at OC in the 60's. If you're a...
My dad was able to shift his Willis Overland up and down the gears and not use the clutch at all. Just with his ear and correct rpms. When I was...
Hi Banger guys! I just wanted to post so that I could find the tread easily. I just bought a Stromberg 97 for my car. Anybody want a Ford...
I wouldn't have gotten the humor of this before getting my A Model driveable a few months ago. You set the toe-in with a pipe wrench for goodness...
Northeast, Akron/Canton/Alliance region. Thanks everyone for the tips. I wouldn't be opposed to buying two 10" X 10" pieces from anyone here...
Here's a quick question. I bought a dash panel from the Hot Rod Co. that's made of 1/4" aluminum. I want to make some other parts of my dashboard...
Is there a banger photo thread so that I can look at pictures of other builds? I did a few searches and didn't come up with one.
The first question sounds like one for the search function.:D:D As far as the second one, bike riders are immortal, so no safety gear is required.
I may be a new guy here, but I've been in the motorcycle restoration and performance game for decades. I've been a founding member of a few forums...
Damn, I'm glad I got all my dumb questions answered before the banger threads turned sour!:eek:
90%. I'm officially a geezer!
Let me start off the noob questioning for the month. I am working through the carb issues on my Model A. I'm running a Ford AAI two barrel. I...
Not a dumb question. I appreciate the help. I got the pump hooked up, but I did find one problem was that one side of the accelerator jets was...
Thanks for the info, guys. Much appreciated. Maybe I'll keep working on my old one.
I got a quick red's headers question. The headers come with welding that sticks out past the plate on the engine side. What kind of gasket do...
No, I put on the manifold and headers before I started it up. The stock stuff had a number of problems so I thought I'd just make the upgrades...
Thanks, OJ! I really don't have anyone to borrow a good carb from. Wish I did. Getting a new one seems my only option. I've used starter fluid to...
I got an old Ford 94 carb along with a manifold in a package deal for my Model A banger engine. I cleaned and rebuilt it as best I could. I...
Actually, I did another compression check this morning with all the plugs out (like I'm supposed to) and I got 120 in each one. I don't think...
Told you it was a dumb question:D
Maybe a dumb question, but what care should I take around the headers? What could happen?
Yeah, I just cut some out of gasket material for between the intake and the headers. Between the headers and the block I used standard Model A...
Thanks Tub, Are you saying that the engine blowing oil out of the crankcase might be non sealing intake? I did make some gaskets with my...
Thanks Sturgis! Yeah I put in about 5 more gallons and it did run better, lots less backfire, and no cut out. But I still needed 1/2 choke. It...
I need some carb analysis and help. I rebuilt (as best I could with a kit) a Ford AAI which is very similar to a 94 if not the same thing. I...
It's good turned up loud to hide the squeaks and rattles.:D
New guy question alert! I have a 32 style dash in my 29 roadster. I want to put in a radio in the car but I'm about out of dash space and I...
