    🌳 www.linktr.ee/modeltmitch In this video I show you step by step how to replace a badly worn ignition timer,
    ----------------------------------------------------
    I imported my 1925 Ford Model T from the USA, not far from Detroit, Michigan where it was built.
    The Model T was manufactured between 1908 and 1927, and was know by various names including Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T‑Model Ford, or just 'T'.
    The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.
    On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan.

    More than 20 years ago, when my dad passed away, I inherited his 1925 Model T Touring car. I live about 17 miles away from dad's place, so I thought that would be a nice drive home. On the way home, the T suddenly quit running and would not start no matter the effort. In the course of troubleshooting, I removed the commutator and reached down to check the roller. The spring had come loose, and when I tried to stretch it back in place, to my horror, I saw that roller spring go shooting away! Well I was parked on a gravel road; though I searched diligently, there was no finding it!
    I didn't even own a trailer, so I was a little panicked at that point. However, I happened to have a pen in my pocket with the little retractable click top. I unscrewed the cap, removed the little spring and it actually looked a lot like that timer spring! I stretched that Bic pen spring in place, replaced the commutator, and the car started right up! The rest of the drive home was perfect!

    Mitch, you're back!
    May I say you're one of the OG's that got me into this kind of thing.
    I'm 25 now and decided on a Model A, but I vividly remember being fascinated by your driving tutorials, lube job instructions and head gasket swap :D

      There is Henry's Model T, A & Rod Parts down in Victoria where I get some parts from. Other than that, I get them from Snyders in the USA. Shipping can be expensive from the states, so I try to buy local if possible.
