🌳 www.linktr.ee/... In this video I show you step by step how to replace a badly worn ignition timer,
----------------------------------------------------
I imported my 1925 Ford Model T from the USA, not far from Detroit, Michigan where it was built.
The Model T was manufactured between 1908 and 1927, and was know by various names including Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T‑Model Ford, or just 'T'.
The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.
On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan.
More than 20 years ago, when my dad passed away, I inherited his 1925 Model T Touring car. I live about 17 miles away from dad's place, so I thought that would be a nice drive home. On the way home, the T suddenly quit running and would not start no matter the effort. In the course of troubleshooting, I removed the commutator and reached down to check the roller. The spring had come loose, and when I tried to stretch it back in place, to my horror, I saw that roller spring go shooting away! Well I was parked on a gravel road; though I searched diligently, there was no finding it!
I didn't even own a trailer, so I was a little panicked at that point. However, I happened to have a pen in my pocket with the little retractable click top. I unscrewed the cap, removed the little spring and it actually looked a lot like that timer spring! I stretched that Bic pen spring in place, replaced the commutator, and the car started right up! The rest of the drive home was perfect!
Mitch, you're back!
May I say you're one of the OG's that got me into this kind of thing.
I'm 25 now and decided on a Model A, but I vividly remember being fascinated by your driving tutorials, lube job instructions and head gasket swap :D
Thank you for your support 🙂

Mitch glad to see you back always enjoyed your videos especially the local car shows and also what's up with the fordson tractor welcome back.
Thanks, and the Fordson is still waiting for some love! The engine though repaired, still leaks water through the fractured block. Looking at options.

Thank you! You too!
Welcome back Mitch Taylor. Thanks for making the video for us. Was worried for you. Never heard how you fared with the fires. Cheers. Chuck in Florida.

Welcome back
How difficult is it to find parts in Aus? Does the shipping or import costs get prohibitive?
There is Henry's Model T, A & Rod Parts down in Victoria where I get some parts from. Other than that, I get them from Snyders in the USA. Shipping can be expensive from the states, so I try to buy local if possible.
Mitch, what timing ignition of cylinders have these engine? 1-2-4-3 ?
Yes it's 1-2-4-3
@@ModelTMitch
In Russia there are "children" this engine: GAZ A, GAZ AA, GAZ 64, GAZ 67, GAZ 69, GAZ 24...etc by 1990 year's
How come you didn’t make a new video in a long time. I though you got rid of your Model t.
There will be a video about that. Would never get rid of the Model T!
Good!
