If you are - ever heard of a place called Marietta Ignition? I've heard they do engine work, including pouring babbitt, etc., for the Model T and A cars. Any info is appreciated.

Heard a bang from underneath the car. I had just driven it 5 miles and had pulled into a parking lot when this happened. Motor was running fine and sounded fine.

When I first got my car I took it to a local rebuilder to have the engine looked over. He took out some shims and buttoned things up. Several tours later I started to hear some engine noise and noticed about 3/16 of shiny crank shaft at the front of the engine.

I haven’t been running engine pans. I got a set recently thinking I wanted to add them. After dry fitting them I’m wondering if I even want them on.

3. Electrical ground, but this is not an issue for me.
Do you run them? Why?12-11-2017, 11:11 PM -
Does anyone know where I could get a Model A engine rebuilt in in Florida? Prefer areas north of Orlando? Just considering it for my spare engine I have.07-25-2020, 05:37 PM -

I do not want to get into bashing people. So I,m going to say the model A engine is one of the hardiest to get right when rebuilding them.

But they are not simple to get right....01-22-2018, 02:25 PM -
