I love model A's not too expensive, all parts easily available (once the pandemic shortages are over) and easy to work on. I would love to see more videos.
I used to have a Model A living in my garage. It belonged to a friend and she eventually sold it. We swapped out the cast iron fuel strainer for one with a glass bowl. The cast iron one was rusted up. With the glass one, you could easily see what the fuel looked like. The bolt on the end of the carburetor that you pointed to is another strainer. You may have to clean the fuel tank. That's a big job because the tank forms the top of the cowl. As others mentioned, parts are readily available. I think NAPA still carries the spark plugs. Bratton, Snyder, and Mac are the big online parts sellers. Good luck!
As I'm watching your video my wife overheard from the other room she said he sounds like a teacher, like she kind of understood what you were talking about. Keep up the good work Steve I want to see more videos of the old Ford
Great seeing the Model A and your methodical approach to making it run. Good call not to use the gas tank for fuel. How are you going to clean out the tank? As I recall they are a real bugger to do. Paul Shinn would be a good person to contact. Yes, I do want to see more of this type of stuff. Well done so far!!!
That is so cool, so simple and easy to work on, and started with just a little TLC. I can't wait to see it drive! Great job as always, I love you little surprised look when it first fired!!!
Top tip. Always use an open hand when trying to shift something difficult with a wrench. That way if it suddenly gives or slips you won't skin your knuckles. One from my old dad years ago 👍
My Grandfather owns a yellow 1927 Model T roadster. No clue if it runs but he owns it and has joked around it being my first truck but he has done that with most of his grandkids to my knowledge.
What an absolute beauty of a car. I would so love one of those - maybe even as a daily driver. We just don't get them in the UK as easily or as cheaply as the US any more.
Great video, what a magnificent car, can't be too many of these around and in good condition. Also, yes please do more of this and any other will it runs.
More, please. These cars are not so different from today's, just so much simpler. That simplicity is their attractiveness. Thank you for all your videos. 32
Awesome! What a beautiful find.Give them spark,fuel,and they just run. Love to see more videos when available. We're heading out some time today in our 28 tudor.Its our 1st frost so we'll hold off for a bit.Please don't turn the car into a rod!!!! Preservation is so important.I know that will make people upset.Shes beautiful the way she is.Thanks for the vid.
Model A's never had an air cleaner from the factory. It was aftermarket. Sometimes the leaking carb would cause gas to accumulate in the aftermarket filter. A backfire would then catch the car on fire.
Fantastic, a little bit of a bodge here and there made it run so well done Steve . Probably a wise move not to use the tank. I have to say it did surprise me that there weren't more wires that were 'toast' but that is a bonus I think. Thanks Steve very good condition model A. It will be on the Road in no time. Don't forget your goggles I think they are mandatory 😷.👍👍
I believe in the next video you Start working on the coil and you use a tool called a polarity coil test or something close to that. Where can I get 1of those? I would certainly appreciate it if you would get back to me on that . love your videos, Thanks
Such delightful simplicity. Everything's visible and identifiable. They've barely managed to put anything in the way of removing anything else. That's a handsome machine. Clean out the fuel tank and give it a wash and polishm and it's ready to roll. (Well, maybe after a look at the brakes.)
Steve . Sublime to the ridiculous ! Having just watched this and then the dyno tests ......lf that alternator hadn't failed , that Mustang woul have pulled 700 bhp and the other Mustang nearly 900 !!!! Yikes !!!!! Thanks Steve
Love the simplicity, I grew up with a farmall cub, but at least that was neg ground, lol. My son has it completely torn apart, we'll have to see how it comes back together... Most certainly enjoy all your work, no matter what side of the big pond they came from. Thanx !
I think it's mildly astonishing that something so complex made nearly a century ago is still in any fit state! I'd love to know what all those weird pedals and controls do, so please do a car review once it's running and stopping again.
Thank you for sharing. I bought my 28' Model A Roadster a year ago. I'm 71 and time to start spending down. Love it !!! I feel like Jay Leno every time I drive it. Stangers always toot, wave, and give a thumbs up. Always makes me smile.
