    Thanks for the education on the mechanics of these old jewels. I enjoyed the more in-depth video you posted. It looks like you have plenty of projects on your property and should be fun to watch as you whittle through them.

    Damn near sounds like a vac case tractor. Quite a treat to see it still going, and no doubt a labor of love to keep it going. Thanks for the video.

    Never have road in a model T before now it seems like I have. Beautiful old car owned by a very clever man, never saw a distributor set up like that! Five stars to you and your car.

    I was born in 1947 and addicted to Model T's from , maybe not year one, maybe in year 4. Over time I have met only three older men w/ Model T knowledge as shown here. From this video I am aware it was a good thing I put a Pinto 4 cyl in the (semi restored) 1924 Model TT flatbed that I peiced together.
    Had a chance to install the correct engine, but this video informed me how little I know about those engines.
    This video also displays the difference in "old timers" vs the videos of today's "I am right because I say so (how do I say that in Canadian?) Video makers.
    Can not say THANK YOU big enough using this keyboard.

    at 4:23 time frame there is a piece of pipe behind you on the ground 3-4 " put that inside of another pipe like a sleeve and I need the one inside to rotate at 20,000 rpm the issues start from there the outside pipe has a line of grooves and the inside one has various cut outs and I need to lubricate it without loosing oils from the outside tube. air comes in one end of the thing and goes out the outside tube grooves/ slots
