Forgot to add that it is a convertable.

I need a new gas tank for my bird but everyone I call claims that their are two different tanks. Can anyone help with what to look for as the difference? Thanks Jerry

Thank you. It looks reasonable priced to. Jerry

Thanks for the help. I didn't see any in their catalog.

I am in need of a Crank hole plug for my 1919 Dodge. I have driven this car a lot of miles with a pipe plug in the hole but now while I recover from cancer that required a full knee replacement my Son is involved and wants me to let him do it right. Any help would be appreciated. Jerry

I am replacing the top wood on my murry body four door and I used flat head stainless screws to attach the metal to the wood because they were closer to flush than round head screws. Should I add a tape about the same thickness between the screws? Any idea what would work would be helpful. Jerry

My new top wood for the Murry A arrived last night. It took a long time to get it from Cubel but the quality is well worth it. I know that at my age I will never live to see it rot out again but am wondering if some kind of water sealer is in order. Jerry

For some reason I can not load a picture. We have a very big show coming up at Kalmazoo, Mi.. They usually have a lot of Model A parts suppliers and my best bet is to attend with my parts problems. Its usually so crowded its hard to talk to anyone.

While the weather is cold its time to restore the parts that can be done inside. I decided to open up the headlamps and see what I need to get them operating. It look like the previous owner didn't need light because the bulbs and cables are missing. The car I am working on is a 1930 Murry body Mode A. The headlamp that I have might not even be correct. I need help with information on the cable and bulbs that I should order. Maybe its time for a Quartz redesign and abvise on Quartz change over would be helpful. I would appreciate any advice that would help me. I tried to post a picture but havn't had any sucess

Thank You A by the Sea. I live outside of Grand Rapids and John From Kenowa Auto supply lives about one mile from me. I knew he owned Kenowa but didn't think of him.

How can I post a picture from my camera? I need a color opinion and a picture might help.

Is this a good source for Model A Paint? http://modelacolor.com/

The colors that I intend on using is Chicle Drab upper and Copra Drab lower along with Tacoma Cream Wheels. I am going over what is already there. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am sorry that I didn't ezplain better. They need the formulation required to mix the right color.

I am getting ready to paint my A but the local paint suppliers all insist on me providing the mixing instructions. Is their a good online supplier that you fellows use?

Thank you. I was on the wrong track by following the previous owner

I need crank hole cover for a 1919 dodge. My password does seem to work on the new fourm.

I have the engine compartment firewall almost stripped. It was gloss black and chiped real bad. Is gloss black the proper color?

I have the clutch out and the disc rivets are about a 32nd from the surface and I only have 3/32 preload on the pressure plate. The preload doesn't seem to be enough but the plate is in good condition. Am I in need of a new disc?

I am finally starting to work on a Model A that I bought many year ago and stored. My first step was to remove the engine to check the clutch. When the engine tipped up to slide out of the compartment a lot of oil drained from the pan onto the floor. I have the flywheel off now and their doesn't seem to be a hole that the oil could come from. Is a new rear seal required or what would cause this?

The hex for the 1 1/8 thread is 1 9/32 and the 1 1/4 is 1 7/16

Hi fellow Dodge lovers. I posted earlier that I needed a water pump to replace the one that I turned the threads off the LH thread side. At the time I was recovering from knee surgery and could not get to my spare parts. I bought this car about fifty years ago and some spsre parts were thrown in. Last week I was finally able to get to the parts and thank god a water pump was in the box. I need help with as the spare pump has pack nuts are 1 1/4 threads where as the broken one is 1 1/8. The pump measures out the same except it has different part numbers. The impeller on the new pump is keyed at 1/8 where the broken pump is 3/16. Why is there a difference? I will need a new shaft and in the earlier post someone nentioned Roys or Meyers but I don't have their phone nunbers. I would appreciate any help.

I need to replace the shaft in my 19 dodge water pump. Has anyone tried a brass shaft instead of steel? The major problem with these shafts and it seems that brass would solve this problem.

I got the old Dodge out yesterday and as usual the water pump leaked. I decided it was time to repack it and when I started to remove the packing nut the threaded part of the casting of the pump broke off. Does anyone out there have a pump for sale or experienced this before. Maybe a fix is available that I don't know of. Any help would be appreciated. Is an electric pump available? That would not be original but it would solve the leaking problem. Jerry

Is the positive post on the bat. to ground the correct wiring setup?
