Derek couldn’t have found a better person to help him with his car on that long journey. The quality of replacement parts these days is appalling, which is ironic considering the simplicity of design. Ignition parts such as condensers, points and spark plugs are some of the really well known offenders.
I love that care pack you put together for him at the end. Talk about a great gift!!
Thanks! Yep, you're right. There's a reason for that care pack, but I'm not allowed to say anything yet.
a guy has to have some friends to help him that know more than he does sometimes.
I guessed you were his Model A helperer.
Sure ya did lol
Derek always says...."The Gearhead world is like no-other"
Some real in depth information there Paul. That was very thorough and easily understandable. That's what I like about you, down to earth, brass tacks information that's easy for a simple guy like me to understand. Thanks for sharing, I hope y'all have a wonderful, safe weekend.😀
I appreciate that Dan! I am just a regular guy, so no need to be flashy.
Your awesome, man!!!!! You can thank Derek he brought me here, good company is good company, my friend!
Thanks Matt!
Derek had an amazing adventure, it's nice you are helping him. Perhaps we will see him driving the model A again.
Never thought I'd be watching a video about a mode a distributor but here I am and I watched the whole thing haha. Thanks for helping Derek, Paul. Can't wait to see what you guys have cooked up in the future!
Thanks for watching!
You are so enthusiastic about what you do and that is why I look forward to your videos.
Thanks Alan I have autism, and the Model A is something I have OCD level hyper-focused enthusiasm for!
I really like when you show rebuilds like this. I learn a lot from them. I hope to buy. Model A in a year or two so Im doing my homework.
Thanks CHEP!! Hey, you and I have something in common, you know... I am an electrical engineer and work in broadcasting building/fixing radio and TV stations for a living. I am the CE of 8 radio stations full time, so do a lot of soldering!
Well I'll Be Dipped. Way to go Paul. I found your channel from Derek's Model A video, subscribed, and watched many of your back catalog videos since then.
Thank you!
lol
Thank you for the Braso trick! As a young Marine (about a million years ago) I polished many a belt buckle with Braso!
Paul, another great video. Great explanation on on the condensers. ~60+ years ago in high school auto shop we learned how to test condensers. Another quick way the teacher showed us using a cheapy ohm meter is to connect the meter leads one way (+, -) and then switch them (-, +) and watch the needle move. If no movement, bad condenser. Of course, as young degens we quickly found out how much fun it was to "charge" a condenser, then hand it to someone. Haha. Have a great day and stay cool.
YES!!! Hahahaaa! Watch em jump!
Despite your health issues, you still seem to have way more energy than I do. Lord bless you Paul, and I pray that you are feeling well! Thank you for posting! You went so fast in this video I may have to watch it 25 times to get everything you did, but I loved watching it!
Thanks! In between takes, I have to recover. Good editing is the key.
I would LOVE to see a long cruise video with both channels and others. Like a partial Route 66 tour or something. Everyone parading along together in their Model A's and T's.
Bout time Derek started tinkering on that thing I've been waiting Loved his 700 mi road trip I'm an old man and hope I live long enough to see it done!
You know Paul.. it might be easier to tell us what you don't know about the Model A. Cheers mate and god bless you and T.
Hahaa! Thanks Manuel!
Your goodness is a rare thing my good sir. Thank you for what you did for Derek!
Thank you kindly
Paul I'm SO GLAD to see the collaboration continue! You both are my favorite youtubers! Always a treat, and I always learn something new with your videos!
Thank you!
Paul It is great That you are helping Derek
Righteous behavior Paul. If I ever get an A I hope I have someone like you in my corner.
I'm already in your corner, Mike!
Paul,I already have a car in mind to save. Been sitting in a dry California garage for 30+ years. 90% intact. Was bought as a street rod project(*shudder*)that never got off the ground. If it was just a body and some frame rails it wouldn't bother me. But when something has made it this long and is almost completely intact I believe it should be restored,not cut up. I'll be seeing the owner this weekend and going to discuss its possible sale.
A Model A sedan is a bucket list car for me with the wife and all the kids. So I love watching all your informative videos!
I hope you're able to hook that up soon!
Gotta find one in FL. And maybe let the newborn get a little older.
Love your videos Paul man I have learned a ton about the grate model A. This was a better country back then..........
Yes it was.. I want it back.
It's always nice to find people that are passionate about what they do, and are also willing to help others along the way. You and Derek both seem to be like that. His Model A video was one of my favorites, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
I appreciate that Max!
I’m glad Derrick has you as a friend 👍🏻
He's a good guy.
Thank you Paul for helping out Derick..You have outstanding channel..well done....
I realize this is months later, but I wanted to write and say thank you for your great content. I discovered your channel through Vice Grip Garage. I’ve always wanted a Model A and the amount of information I’ve picked up from you is invaluable. Thank you again. ~ Chuck
That was so nice! Thank you Chuck. Merry Christmas!
@@ModelA Merry Christmas to you and Model T as well! Thank you for taking time to reply. ~ Chuck
Great stuff, really good to see something being rebuilt with care and pride
That's a fact
Just subscribed to your channel. I had 0 intentions on watching you rebuild that distributor but somehow I couldn’t turn away from your presentation. Outstanding job!
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for this generous parts/expertise show of love for Derek and Vice Grip Garage. I have now subscribed to your channel as well.
The passion both of you have for keeping these old classics on the road is awesome!
Thank you Mark! We have a huge collab coming up!
I am sure Derick will be very appreciative
Looking forward to seeing his car get going in the workshop after seeing his trip home with it. Nice one getting him started on it and offering the extra parts, the water pump especially. Enjoying seeing all your videos on the Model A.
Thanks Joey!
Very nice of you to do this for Derek.
It's great to see you healthy and doing well after your Health scare!! Great job on rebuilding and maintaining your Model A Fords.
All the best from Canada
Thanks Dennis!
Very nice work Paul. I'm sure Derek appreciates quality workmanship and the kind of knowledge on these old Buggys that you have.
Thanks Richard! More Derek coming soon.
What a great deal two alike-minded men you can't beat that we love you both I wear your apparel vice grip garage.
Wait til you see the collab we are working on right now!
You have gotten me hooked attached viewing you videos about the Model As!!! I really appreciate your knowledge, enthusiasm and mentoring Model A owners and the next generation. I am looking for a Model A since watching your videos!! Your the Model A guru.. thank you for your service...
Awesome, thank you Pat!
Always a good sign when you see someone using a true Fluke meter. They’re considerably more than a parts store meter but we’ll worth the money if you like to tinker with electronics. And of course, if you work electronics/communications like me, there is no substitute.
There is no substitute is correct!!
Nicely done Sir. My first car at 16 was a '28 Tudor. Matchbook cover to set points. Spare belt Water Pump to crank when the Generator turned red hot due to Cut Out defects. Rubber smell was first indication. We used to leave charged condensers on the Garage office countertop for Fiddlers!
Great content as usual. Very well explained. I should have a look under my distributor cap sooner than later. I've had the car since 2019 and have only timed it.
You might want to check! Might be a told nugget hidden in there..
Car people are the BEST people, ALWAYS, helpful, friendly, generous, etcetera!!!
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you sir. I will watch your channel because I watch Vice Grip Garage all the time
Thanks Bobby
I'm totally impressed with Paul's posts! Friendly and entertaining information!
Paul's postings have inspired me to start looking for a Model A for myself!
Great to hear!
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! Paul shows the RIGHT way to rebuild a distributor.
Thanks Rick
Because you help Derek, you earned my subscription! Excited for this Journey!
Welcome aboard!
Great info! When I was but a wee lad my great uncle had a 1929 Model A roadster with the rumble seat. I got many a ride in that great little auto.
Lucky he has you, great quick rebuild on that distributor. Very informative again. Thanks for the video friend.
Thanks for watching Brenda!
Wish you were around when my a was original. Some excellent teaching skills going on here. I👀 your ak loudspeaker in the background. Stopped collecting about 20 years ago. Cheers Paul. 🍻👍👍🇺🇸
Thank you! I need to repair the driver in that speaker, so it's waiting for me to get off my posterior and do it.
Nice vid on avoiding the pitfalls. So often unreliability is caused by a lack of proper knowledge.
Excellent walk-thru on the distributor. Thanks Paul!
Glad you enjoyed it GR!
That was an amazing trip. Paul and Derek were great in Detroit getting that Model T if I remember running and driving!
Thanks! That car fought us every step of the way.
@@ModelA Thanks Paul, you and Derek taught me so much with the Model T like the right pedal is a transmission brake, not a wheel brake and the throttle on the column. Back 100 years ago you had to have real skills as there was no auto club or Triple AAA.
Amazing!
Awesome that you were as helpful as you were Paul. Very well Done.
Derek is such a nice guy, I had to help!
This is one smart guy you don't see that often
One day I will own a Model A to go with my collection of cars. I have always been fascinated with the simplicity of the Model A
You should soon be called Dr. Model-A. You have so much knowledge about the Model-A.😍
Wow, thank you!
I am sure a feller will appreciate it and the goodies. Nice video.
Car folks always help car folks. Great video👍
You got that right!
Thanks for helping Derek. He is a good guy, but sometimes he needs a lot of help. Loved the distributor rebuild so the next time Dad has a problem with his 31 Model A Coupe, I should be able to help out more. Had to change the coil a month ago to make it run.
Awesome! Good work, Larry!
This is a good distributor rebuilding video. Supposing if the ignition were converted to 12 volt electronic, you'd be surprised how much more pep that flathead 4 engine would have.
It wouldn't make any difference. The spark would still be exactly the same because for 12 volts, you have to run a resistor in series with the coil primary.
Wow what a awesome guy!!!! Thanks for helping Derek
Thanks Jans!
Man, This guy is super knowledgeable. I watched him do a service on one of his cars and I was really impressed. Came over to check his channel after Derek spoke about him. He’s definitely the go to guy.
Thanks Kevin!
I'll be dipped!! Found another feller to watch that wrenches. Thanks algorithm.
Well, I'll be dipped... Another feller found me! Thank you Vanbrooskie!
Read the title of the video, and knew before it even started I was subscribing. Gonna have to binge your channel for the next few days.
Thanks Matthew! And, I'm sorry ahead of time. Hahaa!!
Maybe the best video I have ever seen on how to repair anything. I subscribed even though I will never work on a model a motor.
Wow, thanks Doug! I do all sorts of stuff with Model As, including road trips and buffoonery, so hope some of it appeals to you.
The passion shows bright.
Indeed
Thnk u for helping our Derek
Very nice rebuild and extra parts
Thank you for supporting Derek, I have subscribed to your channel to support you. Just can't wait to see Derek put on that leak proof shaft and see what else you two are planning.
That's very kind. Thank you!!
Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping Derek
Great video! I'm not going to be working on a model A any time soon, but you still made this video interesting just from the perspective of watching a master at his craft.
Cool, thanks!
Thanks Paul for helping Derek, I am a new subscriber !
Thanks for the sub!
Oh don't worry I saw his thank you in that viral video first time seen one of his videos as well. Which thanks for doing this for him!
It's nice to help others for sure
I have to be honest, I didn't get any of this one ha ha, I usually get at least part of it! But I still enjoy it like a podcast, because your "radio" voice helps me concentrate on my tasks!
Hahaa! Thanks! Hey tour video this morning was fun! Poor Jamie Oliver... But at least the feud is over. For those who have no idea what we're talking about, see here- ua-cam.com/video/bqsJHUz0JVQ/v-deo.html
@@ModelA thank you ☺️ the feud is over! Unless he comes for Caldo Verde, then we'll have a problem! Ha ha
Nice Video Paul. Way to go helping people as well.
Thanks OM!!
Thank you soo soo much for helping Derek,
Helping a feller out, that's what it's all about.
Wow you are pretty damn amazing I would really love to see you continue to rise and I’m glad to catch you while you’re still “young” this will be a fantastic journey
Thank you! My channel won't ever get that big. I'm too niche. But I don't care, I'm not in it for the subs, Just wanting to help others.
excellent video. we were having intermittent electrical issues and found that the longer metal tab on the new lower plate (modern points and condenser) was shorting out even though we put black tape on the end. We then trimmed the tab way back and no more issues.
Good work Andy!
AMAZING.....THANK YOU SO MUCH....Paul....From an Old Navy Flying Shoe🇺🇸
Thank you Steve!!
Brilliantly done, as usual, Paul.
Thanks Paul!
Keep up the good work my friend. Your videos are the best 😁
Thanks, will do!
Thank you so much Paul ... much appreciated !!!
Very welcome
Some very good information . Thanks and have a Blessed day
Another great video Paul.
Hi Paul, nice job, Derek is going to be "mindbottled" missed your vids but I'll be back in the USA soon hopefully.
Hope you make it back safe
Great video Paul ! Thanks for the tutorial.
Glad it was helpful Randy!
Great video Paul.
Hey brother, very novel helping out one of the genuine nicest fellers on this earth. I have just subscribed to your channel. Thank you..☮️🇺🇸❤️
Thanks and welcome Russell!
Hotter than 1980's Phoebe Cates. Ice tea will squirt through my nose!!
Hahaa
It’s good to see you heathy!!!!!!!!
Thanks Tim!
When keeping a vintage car on the road the key is always pay attention to the detals. That distributor might just outlive Derek.
Very cool . I just got a 32 Chevy and yup a feller has a lot to learn. But man is it fun to drive.
Nice work Justin!
Impressive knowledge, Paul.
Thanks George. My wife might disagree. Haha!
Excellent video! Thank you!
I bought a Model A distributor off of eBay not to long ago. Seller said there were some new parts.
In any case just something to tinker with.
One thing I did notice was the opening for the oil in the body behind the oiler cavity was plugged. Pulled the oiler and shoved a paper clip end in. Kept poking at the crud until a glop of old crusty crud came out. Hardened oil.
Lower plate wire was stiff wire. Need to get some of the good copper wire you talked about.
Good on you !!
It's a special day when two of your favourite UA-camrs appear in the same episode. Must be the planets aligning or something :)
Did you see the episode of Roadworthy Rescues we did together?? It's on MotorTrend TV. Season 1, episode 7. Magic!!
@@ModelA Aha! That's what I'll be watching next :)
Thank you!! I get so much from your videos.
Glad you like them!
Thx again Paul. Terrific as usual.
Thanks Dean!
Hey buddy good to see you again good luck with the cars
Hey, thanks
Ha. I love it all except the alternator. Great stuff, Paul!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great shuff!
