Hmmm... either no one else has a Warford or folks don't have the "balls" to reply.

I have the short arm mirrors mounted using the two round headed bolts that attach the visor. I have a mirror on both sides. Works quite well and visibility is "good".

KVO if your water is at 245 I wouldn't be running it until I figured out what is wrong. Since you have a new radiator I would be looking at your timing to see if it is very retarded. Have you had the head off to see if the water passages are clogged with rust or grease?

I'm curious if others with Warfords have flat spots around the shift lever ball like I have on mine. I think that it adds a nice look to it.

Go back to the stock distributor set up and see if that helps. That way you will know if that is the problem.
You don't want to be running it if it is so advanced it's causing it to knock. Engines don't like that.

The Model A engine has a high flow oil pump with very low pressure. Higher pressure reading at start up with cold oil and pressure dropping off after the oil warms up is perfectly normal. An oil gauge in a Model A can make some worry when the pressure goes away.

I picked up a Warford last week and have found that the shaft going through the cluster gear has more wear on it than I’m comfortable with. Would anyone have a one that they would be willing to sell?
Failing that I will look into having one made.

Timing will not affect water being pushed out of the radiator. That said if your timing is too retarded it will cause it to overheat and then that will cause issues. If your set up caused the upper hose to split you are very lucky that the hose split and not your radiator. Model A radiators are not ...

If this is a stock Model A engine then you should not be using a pressurized cap. Even then a pressurized cap shouldn't cause pressure to build up as the overflow tube should prevent pressure from building up. If you fill your radiator to the top of the neck it will puke coolant out right away. Mode...

Hi Jack. In my opinion it is best to run a modern coolant/antifreeze in a Model AA and Model A. Modern coolants have additives that prevent rust in the block that will cause the radiator to plug and overheat the engine. Also you will not have to worry about freezing temperatures and damage to your e...

If you do end up pulling it apart and repairing it try grinding the back sides of the rivets off and punching them out and saving them. I did this with my front cross member. When I re-assembled it I placed the rivets back in and then mig welded the back side of the rivets in place. This way the riv...

You can try it with your battery charger directly. Polarity doesn't matter but usually the negative would go to the post on the battery and the positive to ground. To make sure that it isn't the switch that is causing you troubles remove it and touch the negative to the flat post that you will find ...

If the starter will not spin sitting on the bench using jumper cables pull the switch apart and see if something is amiss there. Jump directly to the contact as suggested. If that doesn't work take it to your local starter and alternator repair shop and have them check it out. The pulley itself shou...

Glad you got it home. Looks like a nice truck. When trying to get it to run do only one thing at a time to it. That way you know for sure what fixed it. Your trailer is the same as mine except for the your attached ramps. Mine are separate and slip in under the bed at the rear. I have an F150 too an...

Hope I'm wrong but you might have pickup fenders and not AA fenders.
