I was planning on attending but I see now that it is going to be a virtual show, I went to the convention in South Bend IN in 2011, here are some photos that show.

Thanks for the pics! Nice to see that it wasnt all big trucks. Its a shame it got cancelled this year.

Hi, I have not been able to drive the AA a ton since I got it due to different reasons but something I have noticed is that 9/10 times I grind 4th gear. I double clutch and try to adjust for speed like the other gears and have no issues. 4th gear though will grind. I have replaced the transmission o...

I am looking at getting a "new" set of kingpins. For the '31 AA will a new old stock of BB-3111 kingpin set work? Also since the kingpins are larger than regular A's what does everyone use to ream the bushings to match the kingpin?

Looking for set BB-3111 kingpin set. Let me know if you have one available.

Took a couple of hours today but everything is back together. I also installed a good prop and holy cow that is amazing. Being able to keep both sides of the hood open is a game changer [emoji1]. Happy to report the engine ran for a good 20 minutes or so and then water pump didn't leak. I did forget...

Looks good. I would not have thought of the epoxy repair. I would have likely tried brazing it. My bell housing has an ear broken I’ll have to address when the engine goes back. Mine had a stamped steel 4 blade fan. Wondering if those were ever stock on AA? The corner is such a small spot and didn'...

Got the water pump rebuilt today. Had to get a new fan due to me breaking the aluminum one that was on there. Bought a leak less kit from brattons and got it together. Fan went on nicely with no issue. Brought it home and there was no impeller problem either. It looked like the head already had been...

Repaired my water pump. The lower driver's side corner broke off. Not enough to cause any leaks though. I cleaned the break, roughed it up and drilled a hole in each side. I took that drill bit (from an old set) and cut it down to fit within the corner radius. I used jb weld to epoxy it in. Once tha...

Tape removed, plugs in, oil tube in, distributor partially in, and water inlet on. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200311/91323326905e2f38159282934580dcf7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200311/684ed60697497563ea7e7b5c222f33bc.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200311/e0d2f2fe1ff8a4213...

While waiting to see exactly what I am going to do about the springs I started to paint the block and head. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200308/0110f9ebfa6281d988963b8b39ebe87e.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200308/9827d2de9d537c8155012142f6e486c7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2...

Service bulletin Page 484 for August 1930 shows the change in design of valve springs. Yours looks like the earlier style. New style is a shorter stiffer spring with less coils. Valve springs are relatively inexpensive. Thanks. My engine is a '29 engine so at least that answers that part of the que...

More cleaning done. I filled a crack in the block with some jb weld. It was filled before but started to leak. I cleaned it out with a grinder and put two coats of on and let it set for 48 hours. Bad thing that happened on Sunday was I broke my aluminum fan and found that the lower passenger side ca...

I called a few of the venders and talked to them about their pumps. Still need to call Bert's tomorrow and talk to them. If I order a leakless one I believe I'll need to repaint it as they all use a different brand or the aerosol version which is slightly different. I did speak with one of my model ...

Crosscut: thanks for the detailed response. I think I'll leave the water outlet alone. I'll take off the timing cover bolts one by one and paint behind them, putting sealant on the threads for the open threads. I got the water pump stud out after putting on on blaster on it.... Aaaaand guess who bro...
