Great-looking car. Perfect stance. When you first started it, I kept thinking, “OMG, advance the spark!”

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks. As it turned out, I had the timing set wrong and it was too advanced. It idled a lot better once I corrected it.

[@deanjernstrom3760]

Awesome! That was great. You covered tons with this video. Didn't know she had O.D. It's a great way to get a little more out of the old gal.Looked like a great show with the multitude of rides present. Thx for the ride.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks for checking it out. The show was decent. It rained like it has been doing most of the time here so the turnout wasn't that great.

[@MrJeep75]

Looks awesome

Could swear I was watching the Goodwood Festival Of Speed there for a bit!

Looks like the Valley of the Moon, hwy 12.

[@dickdaley9059]

Did I miss any videos about the overdrive install? Mitchell…?

[@Maine_A_S]

I installed that a couple years ago before I was making videos.

Take it up to Founders Day at Paris Hill this Saturday 7/15/23. 9AM - 5PM.

[@Maine_A_S]

I am definitely going to try to go there. I don't think the car up that far of a trip just yet though.

[@missthelmasgarage]

I am bringing my 1931 SW sedan. It's green with apple green wheels and blackwall tires. I'll come right up route 26 from Gray.

[@missthelmasgarage]

It's on Saturday...NOT Sunday

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks

Is there a screw missing from the Condenser bracket to Distributor body?

[@Maine_A_S]

It has the modern points and condenser so the original condenser slot is empty

[@charleswilliams8197]

Did anyone hear that knocking when he first started the motor.

[@Maine_A_S]

It's been doing it since I got the car. The exhaust leak probably drowned it out.

[@lyndatomlins3448]

Nice looking car. I thought you would strike problems altering the advance/retard set up. It sounded initially too retarded but appeared to go great on the road. Re starting, was it getting enough gas/air? - mixture has to be richer cold start as you probably know by now. Great to see you younger guys getting into Model As. Cheers from NZ.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks for watching. I did lose some travel on the advance by lengthening the arm. I took it out of the retard side so it still has full advance. I think it will be getting a Model B distributor before next season.

[@dennishutchinson]

Good looking ole girl.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks. It cleans up pretty well for old paint.

Middle-aged petrol heads going through midlife crisis - have a shave too ,,,

[@Maine_A_S]

Can't really call it a midlife crisis since I've been doing it since before I could drive. I'm guessing you're not a car guy. I'll pass on the shave, thanks.
