No more classic words than "it ran when we parked it." LOL

Please don't convert it into a Rat rod it's already beautiful 😬💓

I love model a’s. I own a 1930 ford model a Tudor sedan. I love it! We run it all year long. My grand children and I drive around in the winter while their in the back with tons of layers of blankets staying warm. Meanwhile I’m staying warm from the heat coming off of the engine. Anyways it runs like a dream. Have a wonderful rest of your day.

I’ve got a Model A engine running that were stuck solid. After freeing up, it still had great compression and didn’t smoke! Cleaned the fuel tank, rebuilt the carb, tune up, new muffler and it was road ready.

Back when a car was simple and American made

I would love to hear the busy streets of some city with traffic full of these. :D It had to be a huge rumble.

Make sure you change that oil. No telling how old it is.

The way to start a model a cold is to pull the choke out briefly for like one or two revolutions and then let it go, always starts right when you release the choke. You can see it trying to do just that in the video!

Easiest car ever to get started after sitting

This old American iron never gives up ! Nice work.

Al original not chopped up i love it god bless

Be sure to lubricate the distributor, as I’ve learned from other videos. 👍🏻

Hey man, keep it up, I love working on these older cars, and watching other people do it❤️

So cool to see something this old coming back to life.

13:31 SHE'S ALIVEEEEEEE!!!!!!! 💪🤙

pure bliss, to hear the old girl start. what a beauty to own. lucky man

Fantastic! Hope you can restore this car to its former glory.All the Best from New Zealand.

This reminded me of the classic Jimmy Stewart film, "Flight Of The Pheonix" each time you tried starting the engine. Congrats on getting it going.

That’s amazing that you got it running

wow what a beauty. Love how the spark plugs are set.

I prefer the use of the 9 volt batteries because I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the 6 volt doesn't have the starting power up here in the winter.(the 6 volt system will charge a 9 volt battery just fine)

Love these older cars!! I think a lot of them are more stylish to look at than the modern cars of today.

While I'm sure you've moved well on to bigger and better productions and videos, I would really love to see more on this car. What a nice looking Model A! Looks like it had a full restoration once and was taken out to the car shows. I'm just now getting interested in the Model A and love the simplicity of it. I'm not big on mechanical work and these seem easy enough for me to work on.

Nice methodical process to get it started without any drama. Some goofballs put in a battery and camp out on the starter button thinking a miracle is going to happen. There is so much more involved to have a successful first start.

i hope that someday that Model A gets a complete restoration because every model A deserves to be restored if they really need it i like to think every car deserves a second chance to do what it was designed to do

Nice too see the engine run and special to work with car with long History. 👍👍

I really wish they still made a simple car like this nowadays. Something that's nothing more than you need for people who need a reliable vehicle, but don't have much money.

wish my new ford connect started so easily ,

I don't know how familiar you are with Model A's. Looks like a Tillotson aftermarket carb. I think they adjust 1 1/2 turn on the choke rod like the factory Zenith carbs do. You have an excellent start on a fun project saving another fine automobile. Enjoyed your video.

kid born in 2000: haha ive been running since 2000

It runs and drives. Awesome!

Half way down to start then up when you have it running!

Sounds just like Grandma's old Singer Sewing Machine!!!

Now you know why it is called the "floor board" .... they were made of wood from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. (Ford had it's lumber mill there, and all of the wood used in the Fords came from here)

Really cool! Is this a 1930? Pretty sure it's before the Flathead V8 came out. I think the Model A would later have the Flathead as an optional engine. Awesome to see it running again😎

I really been wanting one of these old fords I think it would be great to take the kids to town in.

Can;t wait to see the next video on this one! :o) Tony K. , Melbourne, Florida

WooW! greatings from Poland!

Sensacional. Só um Mandrake para funcionar esse Ford.

It sure isn't fancy, and probably is pretty uncomfortable and slow, but considering that it runs and moves under it's own power at around 100 years old is impressive and a testament to the build quality!

The car looks amazing

Всегда интересно посмотреть и понять как устроены первые автомобили. Спасибо за интересное видео

It’s definitely a ‘30. 28 and 29’s had a flat headlight crossbar, and the 30 and 31’s had an arched crossbar. If it was a ‘31, the headlight buckets would be stainless steel, not painted.

great job amazing how you got it running right off.

Probably worth checking out the radiator too.

Subbed for future videos of this magnificent car :-)

Lever is a magneto advance for proper spark firing

Que maravilha, o fordinho pegou, este fordinho depois de restaurado vai ficar top

Outstanding... slightly missing but totally understandable... make sure you clean all the shit out of the fuel tank..

Thats advanced when starting.

Get tune up with new spark plugs also points , carb fix plus engine belt to plus battery to and get body fix to plus needs too! Excellent Video too , change engine oil plus oil filter , antifreeze, also clean up fuel tank inside from rust too and next time start up get a Grey Bottle of STP Total Treatment fuel injection put in with 89 octane or higher like 91 gas too and do STP treatment every 3 months too! Engine Oil use 5W30 or 10w30 no synethic type and Castrol GTX in White bottle or Jug!

Good done sir

I love that color blue with the black. Was that the factory color for that car ? It is great to hear the old girl running again. She is a gem no doubt bud. I'm glad you kept her alive.

Nice car! I’m a Model T guy myself, but can appreciate an original Model A!

i drove a 29 model a loved it.

It's really interesting to watch this process. It was nice to see it actually turn over. It needs a little bit of work, but with the right tools and equipment, it'll run again. They just don't make cars like this any more. Ty for the video. Good job!

You cool Mann Good work

Wow. Nice whip. And after all these years it still runs like a Ford.

I would give anything to own a car like that! I was born in 1968, but for some strange reason, these cars just draw me in, like a cop to a donut factory! Maybe I had one in my past life, LOL! But dammit I absolutely love cars from that era, there’s just something about the nostalgia that makes me feel like it belongs in my life. I have always driven a Ford, my first one being an 81’ 5 L Mustang, manual transmission, I loved that car, I handed it down through the family, and we still have it, I think one of my nephews drives it, but Ford made them to last forever, as long as you take care of them, they’ll outlive you! All kidding aside, I swear to God I must be from that era in the early 1900s, I’ve only ever sat in one before, but the second I got inside, it’s like I have been driving it my entire life, even though I’ve never been in one before, does that make any sense to anyone? It had already been fully restored, nobody ever told me how to drive it, and it’s a lot different than driving the cars made today, I just figured it out in seconds, took off, until my friend called me on my cell and told me to bring back his car! I didn’t want to, I wanted to drive it home and keep it, but unfortunately I couldn’t, there’s just no way in hell I could ever afford it, but it’s not from lack of trying, because I was cursed with some pretty shitty health, and I’ve had over 37 operations, thanks to intestinal cancer and Crohn’s disease, forcing me to go on permanent disability. Unfortunately car dealerships don’t give a crap about your sob story, but believe me I tried, but the guy took one look at me and said forget it. Oh well, at least I still have my friend, who promised I could drive it whenever I wanted to, but then the bugger left Toronto, and drove it all the way to Los Angeles! I thought he was nuts, but he actually did it, and the car made it with no problems. A 100-year-old car, driving from Toronto to Los Angeles direct, with not one breakdown. That tells you what kind of cars these were, I wouldn’t do that drive with a brand new Hyundai or Kia! (Sorry, no offence to anyone). So now if I want to drive it, I have to go to Los Angeles first, that’s kind of out of my way considering I live in downtown Toronto! Anyone know of any dealers in the Toronto area that sells these cars? I’ve got a nest egg, I’m saving specifically for one of those cars, just waiting for the right deal, but after watching your video you’ve inspired me, I have got to get my hands on one of these cars ASAP! Thanks for posting it! Happy motoring!

This carburetor looks like Alladin Lamp! 😆😆😆

I know this was a few months ago, but I watched the spark at the points and it wasn't consistent. That might have been the missing problem I heard. Great car and great work.

that's beautiful

You're losing a lot of amps running through the jumper cables , it will not hurt that starter to use 12 volts on it but I would put a ballast resistor going to the points you may as well just get a 6 volt battery and plop it down in there.

awesome!

Ya now that you got it going you should clean it up do what needs to be done to get it running rite rune up oil change. And fix only what needs to be and then keep as orginal as you can

Put ac and heat in it and nice seats and a gps stereo make it a daily driver

First time viewer, I think you were recommended cuz I just saw Mortske Garage do a Model A purchase and cold start new vid today ... /w\METAL/w\

What a beautiful car

My dad always swore by Marvel mystery oil? I used it on my marine engines too

Cool ass car!

There is a sleeve that slides over the choke rod that holds the two parts together.

Always wondered why the top of spark plugs screwed off. To put on those copper (?) wires.

9:17 I would have wiped off the hood before taking the gas-cap off, so that no dust would fall down into the fuel-tank.

No insulation on the spark plug "wires". Bet it was a hell of a starter on cold damp mornings. BTW: Sounds like it's running on two cylinders.

I'd check the stored DTC's. Being a Ford they are prolly P0171 & P0174

PRE. TTY COOL

Someone in my city has one of these.. but they leave it outside in the shitty weather (wind, snow, wind, rain, and sometimes hail) under a tarp.. i haven't gotten a really good look at it but it seems to be in good condition. I hate that they dont put it in their garage tho

I trade my Bronco for classic Model T or any of them 30-32 etc.. just like the look... that blue just looks awesome sky blue.

cool video

such a beautiful vehicle even more beautiful than today's vehicles It's a shame that they are so rots you can still finish it off nicely Car reminds me a lot of the video game Mafia

Oh boy happy to see a model old ford car its necesly maintained is it for sale please let me know

Fuck id literally do anything for the chance to work on a piece of history/art like that let alone drive it, gettin strong Mafia 2 vibes!

I have the same aftermarket carb you have. I can't find a name on it to look it up. But one thing is I have heard that they warp with the heat from the manifold. Mine is warped right where you first saw your gas seepage. I red necked it with silicone and it's just a temporary solution until I get around to getting another one. But I was going crazy trying to start it when I know it runs but it was hot when I got home. I think that was when it warped but after checking and rechecking everything for two days that what the problem was. Runs great now. But I saw a video where they put a heat shield below the distributor and above the carburetor.

clear coat the car. make it look old because that looks amazing!!! (she looks so good)

I have your Tudors older sister, a 1930 Tudor . The same color.

nice

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

they make new wireing for those

great video, but try looking in the lens instead of the view finder.

Tighten the steering column clamp. Helps with the spark & setting timing. Tailpipe clamp missing?

Hey man if you do ever decide to sell that Beautiful machine I’ll take it

Would be cool to see a full nut bolt on this sedan. Doing a nut and bolt on my cross body one ton pickup

Did you ever get the steering column tightened down? In the video it was moving and messing up your timing.

It sounds like you need to have your flywheel

Did you add a lead additive to the fresh fuel??

Use WD40 lube and Rustoleum Red Primer to kill rust! :)

hmm looks like my grandpa's car must be close to a model a, only problem my grandpa's is a convertible

check them brakes too jacob.

If it turns. It will start. Its a Ford. One thing older Fords. Barley turn over. But start.

Good work. The timing is way off and it sounds like the compression is really low. Possible head gasket issue. See my video for timing the Model A properly, and of course you can always drop me a email if you have questions on Model A's.
