Frankie and the move to our new home Model A'r doin' his thing ... 02/2024
Frankie has been a big help to us moving truck load after truck load. We couldn't be more proud of her. Frankie overheating was my fault being negligent and not checking the level in her rad. The old condenser finally gave out so I took the one out of DD and ordered a couple of new condensers from Auto Zone. We have several more trips to make but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Blessings ... Model A'r doin' his thing ...

      Hi Joey, I will take DD out for a drive in the next couple of days and I will video the journey. I know what you mean, I have always loved the old cars of the twenties and thirties. As a child and even to this day I love wheels and the old cars, to me, really show them off with the sweeping fenders that hug the wheel. The act of driving them and the speed let's one experience the art of driving, lots to do and to listen to how she is acting, they will tell you if you are handling them properly and when you do they sing to you. The Model A didn't come with a radio but there were after market radios available. The wire in the top which is under the top material and padding which rests and chicken wire and they would use that as their antenna. Blessings

      Hi Dean, I really enjoyed the night drive, DD look quite cute under the street lamps. I was pleased with the three lights at the back and pleasantly surprised to see how bright they were, gave me confidence that other drivers will see DD when coming up behind her. You will like the LEDs and they draw very little power. The Model A only came with the one tail/break light but I believe one could order another one from the dealer on the passenger side at extra cost. They also didn't come with a tire on the spare rim, that too was an extra. Love to see your treasure, you should post a video. Blessings

    Nice video my friend. Your hat and shirt shows me we have more than Model A’s in common! Anyway, when you have time, I would like to see how you have wired in your battery cutoff switch. Thinking about doing that with mine. Take care.

    • @clintonrothwell5709
      @clintonrothwell5709 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there, It is quite easy ... you need a cable from the positive battery terminal to the switch and another cable from the other terminal on the switch to the start. There is a holder that you can get from a Model A Ford parts store which bolts to one of the bolts that holds the starter to the flywheel housing or you can put it anywhere you wish. I used the parts store bracket made for the switch on Frankie but DD came with the switch mounted to the firewall. You would have to drill a hole in the firewall. I have seen them mounted to the front seat sheet metal under the seat and also on the floor boards. It really depends what would suit you better. If it is inside the passenger compartment it is easer to switch it on/off. I have to open the hood to turn mine on/off. Yes, I like my Harleys and I believe in the Second Amendment. I have a 2004 Road King which I put no a touring pack, and screaming eagle kit with cam and other things to make her my own. Also a 2007 Screaming Eagle Softail Springer CVO that I am thinking of selling as I plan a move in the near future. I hate to sell her but one has to sacrifice sometimes, besides it really is for solo riding and my wife love to be on the back of the Road King and I like having her with me. Blessings my friend

I promise I will take a video with my old hand held Sony, it should turn out better. I am going to try to get down to the DMV for DD's plates this week then I can take her out and about instead of just around the block.

    I seem to recall an adjustment to the brushes in the generator, accessible to the operator, that changes the voltage output to compensate for 6V battery overcharging and maintaining the additional load for night illumination. Maybe that generator has brushes set for minimal output which would help explain why the voltage readings are so low. Worth exploring with a bench test of the original gen?

    • @clintonrothwell5709

      Hello Dick, you are correct, moving the third brush can change the amount of charge the generator will put out. I did move the brush in both directions, as close to the other brush as possible and away from the brush and there was not difference showing on the amp meter on the dash. I think the fuse has something to do with it but I am just guessing. I am hoping someone out there will know what the fuses function is, I have never heard nor seen this setup before. I appreciate your input, thank you. Blessings

    Great video Clinton I’m looking forward to the next one. Several months ago I replaced my generator with a 6 volt alternator. It works great. God Bless

      Hello harvey, Thank you for the blessings. I am putting the alternator in DD today and should have the video out in a couple of days. I'm looking forward to no hassle charging I must admit. Blessings

      Thanks Jim, appreciate that. I am going to put in new manifold gaskets today as I now know, after fixing the exhaust leak at the manifold, that I had more that one leak. I may need to order some parts, we'll see, so the video may be delayed. I am thinking of replacing the generator with an alternator which I have already sitting on the shelf. The generator that came with DD has a fuse wired into it which is strange. I have never seen this before and I sure would like to know why a 20amp fuse would be wired between one brush and the mounting bracket. Got any ideas? I will take a video of the generator/alternator swap so you can see what I am talking about. Blessings

    Hmmmmm! Now I'll have to check to see if my car has the spring.Just dropped a new rebuilt modern type distributor in the other day, and it seems to run a bit better.Thanks for another video on DD.Have a great weekend.

      Hello Dean, thanks for the post. When I put a new distributor in Frankie she seemed to run better as well. I should think you would have the throw out bearing spring in your car, if not and you have to get a spring and put it in your car maybe wait a few days as I am putting in a different spring which says it is for a Model A and AA just to see if it is easier to get in. The stock spring seems impossible to put in if the Throw out bear is in a driving car. Out of the car is would be quite easy it think. Blessings
