Best explanation of the oiling system in a Model A that I have ever seen. Enjoyed being able to see the "oil" flow in the demonstration. I installed a rebuilt engine ten years ago and the builder asked me to pour the first quart of oil down the distributor hole. Now I know why! Thank you.
I enjoy your videos not just because they are informative, but between how they are filmed and your dry delivery they remind me of many of the shows on PBS back in the 70's that were made for in school programming... anything from geography to physics etc... It is so refreshing to see someone who's main concern isn't about how they look or making it about you... you are simply trying to convey facts and information... simply.... and you do an excellent job of it in a humble and straight forward manner. Don't ever feel compelled to change... you couldn't improve it.
Great job tackling a subject that hasn't been video'd often - startup for the first time. A very useful and informative video. Will suggest that it be included on the MAFCA website's Videos page.
Thanks for showing the oil gallery. I have never seen it explained that way. I guess you could say that the ridges keep the oil from being starved when climbing a hill, the same way that modern gas tanks have walls to keep the sloshing to a minimum. Great job!
I certainly enjoyed this. As well, I agree with you on not revving a new engine. I haven't seen a fan with that blade set-up before. My understanding has been that the original two-blade fan pulls the most air. But I'm not a Model-A expert. Thanks for this and I look forward to future videos on it.
I always use marvel mystery oil in fuel and oil helps with break in and Delo 30 wt After 800 miles i just use marvel mystery oil in fuel and fresh change of 30 wt delo At 800 miles great video thanks for posting 😊
Filling the oil chamber with oil, Putting some oil down the spark plug holes, then spinning the engine over a bit without any load on it before actually lighting it off. Thats just plain using your head!!! Be nice if all Model A owners practiced that kind of diligence. Probably would save some premature engine failures. Neat watching the exhibition of the dams overflowing too.
Some Good info on starting the engine and what to look for --- noticed as you put gas into the tank - and it ran into the glass sediment bowl one could see some stuff coming into the bowl from tank - some sediment there. ---- Thank You ---- very helpful ----Rodney
Being mindful of the oil circulation in the Model A engine. I crank the engine with the ignition off to first pump the oil into the chambers before I start it.
Whatever it is on its roof just barely cleared the garage door - yikes! Running on all cylinders is better than some people I know🤣 Thanks for explaining the oil. Hadn't known that one.
Another great no nonsense video. Engine sounded nice. What is that steering box? See that beautiful '30-31 open delivery is still in your garage ; are you keeping it? I would! Cheers from NZ DownUnder.
I guess that Model A Fords don't run enough valve spring pressure to require a cam break-in period at elevated engine speed right after the first start?

Thank you. I try.

Thank you verry much.

Yep, There's a lot of argument over what type of fan is best. I've used just about every type, and they all work to me.
Thank you so much for your videos! It would be so great if you use some light fixtures to light up a scene for us to see objects better.
Nice demo. Fun to watch !
Демонстрация очень крутая, я пересмотрел 2 раза 👍👍👍

Yep, it's really difficult to get an original tank perfectly clean. Still though I've seen worse from cars being driven.
More useful Model A info. Thanks again!
You're welcome.
Oh boy that motor sounds SWEET.

Yes, I have a bad habit of storing stuff on the roof and forgetting about it.
The engine sounded nice and quiet.The engine oil was so clean i needed to really focus.
Excellent video s😊😊😊!
Love the sound of it.
the tudor is lookin and sounding great! 👍
Thank you.
Really like yer videos ,,, retired mechanic here with many projects at home ,,, what State are you located in ,, looks pretty warm there
Thank you. I'm in southern California.

Thank you. I don't know what the box is. some kind of conversion.
Good advice.. Cheers
I guess that Model A Fords don't run enough valve spring pressure to require a cam break-in period at elevated engine speed right after the first start?
At 10:35 right when you first press the starter, it looks like some gasoline dripping from near the carb.
It is, because the choke was stuck closed.
Is starting a rebuilt model A different than starting any other model A ?
Would going down a steep slope mess with lubricating the rear main?
Yes it can, but normally it takes a long time for the oil to completely run out.
Have you ever come across a Ford V8 from the 30s? Or are they too expensive?
I've been around them a bit, but yes, they're too expensive for me.
how can I donate to your youtube?
I'm not taking donations, but thank you very much for asking.
I used to own one.
FYI: The starter is missing its band.
