Thank you for watching! I need to clarify: The Timing Tool Giveaway entry was in the video 2 weeks ago. This video, we were drawing the winners. There will be another giveaway soon. Thanks again, and keep those Model A's on the road where they belong!

My ‘31 rumble seat used to lean left I thought it was just tired suspension. The cam polishing such a simple idea that it is brilliant like the timing tool. Thank you for the tips.

Well Paul, I had tried with success what you had said and showed on your video before, about the lean. I’ve been doing it once or twice a week since I first saw it, weeks ago. It does work. I have a complete library of all your videos on my shop laptop. They are so informative. Liked your last one of you and your wife on the tour. You did a great job getting the car ready for the show. Too bad you didn’t get a chance to show it for points. You guys have some very nice A’s. So easy to follow what you do with them. Thank you and your wife for taking the time to do all this. Regards,PaulB

I subscribed to your channel about a week ago, your videos are great. I just bought my first Model A, brought it all the way from Florida to Michigan. It won't start since I got it home. Ran fine before I bought it. :-(

@kellycassutt3165 3 года назад

Model As are like bad wines, they don't travel well. Mine shipped from Montana to New Jersey. The tank sloshing lifted the rust.

@oshawadoug177 3 года назад

What a clever tip, would never have thought to polish up an old cam and simply check the gap in a spare body. Sometimes we are in too big a hurry to buy new parts before trying to re-use the old originals. And now I know why you stress putting a tiny bit of lube on the distributor cam when servicing. These are things we learn from you Paul because you are driving your Fords on a regular daily basis. Please keep posting, your videos are the best.

@ModelA 3 года назад

Thank you! Yes, it's a game changer when the Model A stops being a toy and becomes your daily transportation! Suddenly, you learn that the more you take care of it, the more it takes care of you.

I think your point about body lean is absolutely correct My two left hand model A leans to left side and other two right hand model A to the right side Both “driver’s side”

@craigpennington1251 2 года назад

About the leaning bit. That also works for the older MGBs which did the same thing.

PS do you have a video on how to do the timing on the Model A's already? I was hoping this was the Video for that when I saw "Timing tool" in the name of the video (I am so dumb in fixing my "new" car I got 3 months ago) Thanks for all your videos they are a great help to me.

@ModelA 2 года назад

Yes. It's called "How to set timing on Ford Model A"

@chrishazelwood9548 2 года назад

I love your videos... Need a little more info tho. for My '31 Distributor it has a screw (Vertically) to mount the points and a screw (Horizontally) to adjust the gap on the points (I think) - and the steering colum has a lever to adjust timing... if the Timing is Retarded or Advanced... Won't that mess with the points gap adjustment when working on this type of "peeking" the points I have? Thanks for all you share on the videos.

@ModelA 2 года назад

No. Check my video how to set timing on a Ford Model A for details.

There is an electronic ignition "upgrade". However, they fail all the time. I run original ignition. Never breaks! Thanks for the offer! Donation link- www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_donations&business=DNEA3GWXRXSAC&currency_code=USD&source=url

Check the horn wiring. Sometimes, one of the wires inside makes contact with the horn chassis. That'll do it.

Hello Paul, Gary from AZ been talking to this salesman I quess it about a 1931 Ford coupe hard top one this guy in Atlanta GA this place is consignment selling this veh. with a bunch of pictures last night was looking close on the driver's & pass side doors it looked like the doors looked a little ajar so I call him back he told me that all the doors on the 1931 they overlap the rear pane he say that the way they fit that was a ( RED FLAG ) for me what do you think the problem could be hinges ?? or something worse it's about 80 plus restored can you give some input on this thanks Gary

@ModelA 3 года назад

The coupe doors close on top of the body panel on the rear side of it. The front of the coupe door should be flush with the body. So, seeing the door sitting on top of the body panel at the rear is normal.

Polishing that cam seems like a great idea. Will the rubbing block still wear if the pivot shaft is not perfectly parallel with the cam surfaces?? That continues to be a problem with more current points where "dwell meters" are used to set the gap.

I suppose the rubbing block would eventually settle and then the wear would nearly stop.
