“You don’t need plumber’s tape”. I recently replaced the gas shut off valve in my 1930 Roadster. Seems like half the Model A club members insisted that Teflon plumber’s tape is a terrible idea, that it would dissolve in the gasoline and clog the carburetor. The other half of the club was unanimous on insisting that Teflon tape makes it easier to screw in the valve, fills in any tiny irregularities in the threads that could leak, and the threads never touch gasoline so the tape can’t dissolve, and just ignore those other guys. Which oil is best? 6 volt or 12? Generator or alternator? Zenith or Tillotson or Marvel-Schebler? And is it pronounced SHE-blur or SHEB-lur? I’ve concluded that the genius of the Model A design is that it tolerates lots of different ways, so EVERYONE gets to be right! No wonder it’s still so popular.

@pipefitter1728 Год назад

I’m glad that you call your often used tool by its correct name; adjustable end wrench instead of the usual crescent wrench. It’s only a crescent wrench if it’s made by the crescent tool company.

@ModelA Год назад

Right!! Thank you

@manuelstarr3602 Год назад

Hi guys, I'm probably not telling anybody anything but back in the day in Australia if we dropped and broke the small fuel bowl. We found that the small Vegemite jar would fit just fine.. but without Vegemite, look in the local store for something else that would fit. Cheers n' God bless.

Great job at replacing the gas shut off and line, look awesome, especially like the Wix filter you used. You know, there's a lot of these tips that can also be used on other gas powered corroborated vehicles and tractors with a sediment bowl.

@myrlstone8904 Год назад

I see the A has one of the accessory intake manifolds. Hmmm, I’ve often wondered about these. It may be seen somewhat sacrilegious by some, but I’m running the Weber carburetor upgrade on my 31 Roadster. This car is a daily driver so the benefits of the more modern carb/intake manifold can be realized. If my usage pattern were more typical, I’d definitely stick with original zenith.

@timnewman1172 Год назад

Paul, I agree on using the "pencil" in tank strainers. I have tractor that would stall out under load and I could never figure out why... someone suggested I use one and Presto, problem solved! One thing I do is put a bit of solder where it connects to the fuel outlet to keep it in place, works for me anyway...

@ScumClassWorks Год назад

I also used solder on the filter end. Got it coated all round with molten solder and pushed the valve over it before it cooled. Something all "A"s should've had from the factory.

@ModelA Год назад

I thought about that. They fit so snug, they never come apart anyway.

A little late watching this good video.. I will probably need to clean the fuel system on our 31 S/W sedan as it goes about two miles and it acts like the key switch is turned off.. I tried with the gas cap loose and it still acts the same.. Checked for fuel flow to the carburetor and it is not good!! On another note... Ford did have an adjustable wrench!!!! I still use it and modern one's all the time !!!

@allareasindex7984 Год назад

Air filter? After I put one on my Model A everyone admonished me that any fuel that drips out of the carb mouth will soak that paper filter and whooosh BBQ Ford. Also that the carb will need rejetting or it will run too rich. So I took it off. Then when I bought a spare carb from a club member he gave me another air filter. I said I didn’t want it. He insisted I take it out of his garage, and snuck it into the box alongside the carb. Now I have two potential whoosh bombs on the shelf. Well on my way to collecting a whole garage full of Model A stuff I don’t need.

@ModelA Год назад

We run air filters on ours Model As. Swap the paper filter for the K&N one.

@davidgiancoli2106 Год назад

Hi Paul, didn't the '28-'29s have a cast iron sediment bowl instead of a glass one like Roady has? What's the difference between them in performance and which do you prefer and why? Thanks!

@ToddAtkins-hq5qv Год назад

You do beautiful work Tina, and your assistant is coming along😉. A much cleaner and safer setup than before...and original! One question though, can the sediment bowl be reversed so any junk that gets past the pencil screen will be visible in the bottom of the bowl? Maybe its just an NPT fitting and not compression? Tina, I'm glad you enjoy rolling up your sleeves, you are bonding with "Roadie".

@ModelA Год назад

The sediment bowl is more of a water separator now. The dirt will end up in the filter

@jtmacready Год назад

do you recommend gasoline proof sealant on that smaller fuel line that goes from the fuel bowl down to the carb? I've got a new steel fuel line (and a new fuel bowl) that just doesn't want to stop dripping down at the carb. I thought a little brush of sealant around the threads might help...only at the carb fitting.

@ModelA Год назад

I don't use any. I just make sure the seat area is clean and free from deep scratches
