Derek couldn’t have found a better person to help him with his car on that long journey. The quality of replacement parts these days is appalling, which is ironic considering the simplicity of design. Ignition parts such as condensers, points and spark plugs are some of the really well known offenders. I love that care pack you put together for him at the end. Talk about a great gift!!

@ModelA Год назад

Thanks! Yep, you're right. There's a reason for that care pack, but I'm not allowed to say anything yet.

@ThomasWBaldwin Год назад

a guy has to have some friends to help him that know more than he does sometimes.

@ModelA Год назад

Hahaa! Thanks Manuel!

@Dan-qy1rg Год назад

Some real in depth information there Paul. That was very thorough and easily understandable. That's what I like about you, down to earth, brass tacks information that's easy for a simple guy like me to understand. Thanks for sharing, I hope y'all have a wonderful, safe weekend.😀

@ModelA Год назад

I appreciate that Dan! I am just a regular guy, so no need to be flashy.

@buffsheeri Год назад

Derek had an amazing adventure, it's nice you are helping him. Perhaps we will see him driving the model A again.

@FilamentFriday Год назад

I really like when you show rebuilds like this. I learn a lot from them. I hope to buy. Model A in a year or two so Im doing my homework.

Thanks CHEP!! Hey, you and I have something in common, you know... I am an electrical engineer and work in broadcasting building/fixing radio and TV stations for a living. I am the CE of 8 radio stations full time, so do a lot of soldering!

Never thought I'd be watching a video about a mode a distributor but here I am and I watched the whole thing haha. Thanks for helping Derek, Paul. Can't wait to see what you guys have cooked up in the future!

@ModelA Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@Dennis-lx9mo Год назад

Paul, another great video. Great explanation on on the condensers. ~60+ years ago in high school auto shop we learned how to test condensers. Another quick way the teacher showed us using a cheapy ohm meter is to connect the meter leads one way (+, -) and then switch them (-, +) and watch the needle move. If no movement, bad condenser. Of course, as young degens we quickly found out how much fun it was to "charge" a condenser, then hand it to someone. Haha. Have a great day and stay cool.

@ModelA Год назад

YES!!! Hahahaaa! Watch em jump!

@gordbaker896 Год назад

Nicely done Sir. My first car at 16 was a '28 Tudor. Matchbook cover to set points. Spare belt Water Pump to crank when the Generator turned red hot due to Cut Out defects. Rubber smell was first indication. We used to leave charged condensers on the Garage office countertop for Fiddlers!

Righteous behavior Paul. If I ever get an A I hope I have someone like you in my corner.

@ElMirageRacer4763 Год назад

Paul,I already have a car in mind to save. Been sitting in a dry California garage for 30+ years. 90% intact. Was bought as a street rod project(*shudder*)that never got off the ground. If it was just a body and some frame rails it wouldn't bother me. But when something has made it this long and is almost completely intact I believe it should be restored,not cut up. I'll be seeing the owner this weekend and going to discuss its possible sale.

@jacksmith5692 Год назад

That was an amazing trip. Paul and Derek were great in Detroit getting that Model T if I remember running and driving!

@ModelA Год назад

Thanks! That car fought us every step of the way.

@jacksmith5692 Год назад

@@ModelA Thanks Paul, you and Derek taught me so much with the Model T like the right pedal is a transmission brake, not a wheel brake and the throttle on the column. Back 100 years ago you had to have real skills as there was no auto club or Triple AAA. Amazing!

@nathanrice1796 Год назад

This is a good distributor rebuilding video. Supposing if the ignition were converted to 12 volt electronic, you'd be surprised how much more pep that flathead 4 engine would have.

@ModelA Год назад

It wouldn't make any difference. The spark would still be exactly the same because for 12 volts, you have to run a resistor in series with the coil primary.

I bought a Model A distributor off of eBay not to long ago. Seller said there were some new parts. In any case just something to tinker with. One thing I did notice was the opening for the oil in the body behind the oiler cavity was plugged. Pulled the oiler and shoved a paper clip end in. Kept poking at the crud until a glop of old crusty crud came out. Hardened oil. Lower plate wire was stiff wire. Need to get some of the good copper wire you talked about.
