That's a very clean engine.😊

A shot or two of penetrating oil like Kroil or PB Blaster, and letting it sit overnight, and you run WAY less risk of damaging the distributor housing. If something is stuck, use force or impact as a last resort.

Nice job! But I wish you'd have mentioned that when rebuilding the distributor that you should get a new, drilled upper shaft and drilled cam screw so that the upper bushings can be lubricated when you lube the lower bushing. Not an expensive investment but it can extend the life of those bushings.

Good point Rick, I always use a drilled shaft and the one in video that was wore was also drilled.

Good video Randall!! What tool did you use on your Dake press to press out the old bushings? I usually cut into the old bushings with a hacksaw blade and peel them out and try not to crack the housing.

Great video, you are a expert mechanic on the MODEL A FORD, I have a 1931 TUDOR, I have been trying to get it running, I have installed rebuild Zenith Carburetor, new points, condenser, plugs, set timing, I have fire from coil, points are firing, fresh gas, the car just won't start, it's turns over fine, it just like trying to start with switch off, I've owned this car for 19 years, it's only been a few months since it was running, any advice would be appreciated, also what are thoughts on Electronic Ignition on a MODEL A, enjoy all your videos, THANKS.

I’m not big on the electronic ignition, I still use points, if you pull coil wire out of dist. And spin it over do you have a blue spark?

@randallstrickland8204 7 күн бұрын

I would also check the connection at the amp meter if they’re loose it will cause problems with starting

@randallstrickland8204 7 күн бұрын

I would also disconnect gas line at carb and see if you have a full stream of gas flowing

@randallstrickland8204 7 күн бұрын

And to eliminate a problem with carb squirt a little gas in the opening of carb and then try to start

@@randallstrickland8204 I will be working on it again this week, everything you mentioned I've done except for ammeter, good spark at coil and points, steady gas flow, I'll check the ammeter and let you know what I find, THANKS.
