plymouthcranbrook Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 How very unique. The price certainly seems reasonable to me but as one who barely knows what a T is I would let experts make the real determination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kblake Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 Yes, the price is very attractive and its a great way to get onto some of the Reliability, Vintage, or Glidden Tours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 At this point the body itself is antique! I like it a lot, although not crazy about the Christmas or Italian national colors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFranklin Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 It doesn't run. The easiest thing in the world is starting a Model T if it runs! Fuel, compression, and spark at the proper time and off you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out the contacts in the ignition switch were bad and making an intermittent connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) Intermittent trouble is the hardest to pinpoint, but your car did start. I worked on 2 Ts that would start and then die. Both were cured by adjusting the float in the carb to hold a bit more gas in the bowl. Intermittent electrical problems are best checked with a volt-ohm meter and a helper wiggling different wires and switches.
