  • On our way home from Nevada on hwy 88, we climbed up a little further that 8,500 ft in elevation. Nothing but the sounds of the engine, shifting gears and gorgeous scenery the ends at a beautiful lake and snow!
    It was a perfect trip in our 1931 Ford Model A Sports Coupe with a Mitchell overdrive.
    I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do is to watch the scenery on the hood of the Model A as we drive and sometimes even watching the scenery on the back of the headlamps…please don’t do it while you’re driving though lol
    If the sounds of the Ford Model A engine puts you in a happy mood and gives you that ASMR feeling, then you’ll enjoy kicking back and watching this video!
    Have an awesome week! #fordmodela #femalemechanic

    8500 ft = 2590 m over sea level. This is a challenge for old carburetor engines.... I remember that from the time in the 1990s when I did driven arround in the Alpes and climbed passes who went above 1800m.
    For nowadays cars with turbocharger and their electronics it is not anymore a problem.

    I like the music this gearbox is making! And indeed marvellous scenery.
    When I see you driving this "respectable old lady" like this, I think it must be possible to cross Europe with "her" without major problems.
    One question ... when going downhill, I suppose that you push the advance-lever "up"-full. to have a bit more "engine-braking"?

    • @Modeltshinn
      @Modeltshinn  Місяць тому +1

      No you don’t, the advance lever is set to engine rpm, not wether you’re going up hill or downhill. Have a great week!

    Beautiful drive with a model A. Are you using the overdrive?
    The climb over the mountain to my house is kinda steep too. I wonder if a model A will make it up the hill without an overdrive and if the brakes will hold coming down.

    • @Modeltshinn
      @Modeltshinn  Місяць тому

      Paul was using the overdrive, but even without it it would still make it but slower…a well tuned carburetor helps a lot and if your brakes are good and adjusted properly then getting down the hill is no big deal especially if your using your engine for breaking mostly 😁💕

  • @desertlifestylegroup
    @desertlifestylegroup Місяць тому +1

    Seems like you shifted into 2nd gear at about the 2+ min mark. Was that bc your speed dropped and you couldn't pick it back up on the incline? (Separately, I watch these at double speed for a little extra terror. lol)

  • @brianmatthews9697
    @brianmatthews9697 Місяць тому +1

    What speed were you running and did you use your overdrive much? I assume at the 9:00 mark you were in 2nd high? I only drove an over drive once, so just curious. Pretty area.

    • @Modeltshinn
      @Modeltshinn  Місяць тому

      Well we started at 50-55 mph and as we climbed we got to about 45 and that’s when we were able to get in the passing lane, luckily we didn’t have any traffic behind us after that cause we got down to about 35 as we climbed closer to 8,500 ft…I think Paul said he was in 2nd and overdrive?
