What a great video, especially the Model T answer to Paul’s final question, such a great answer. Perfect couple!! BTW your hair looks amazing…
Thank you SO much for everything!!! 💕💗
"Jesus is coming look busy" is now my favorite saying. Thanks Paul and Tina you made my day.
We can always depend on Paul introducing a touch of wisdom. LOL, I’ll have to use that quote at appropriate times.
Thank you James!! 💕💗
YEEEEES!!! I loved that comment too! 🙌☝️😊
These cars are awesome do to the simplicity of them I totally agree.
I watched this video today; thanks for saving me again! I am the caretaker and driver of the Model A sport coupe that the Museum of Science & Technology in Syracuse NY owns. It has an air filter. After watching this the first thing I did was check to see what kind it is, and fortunately it is a wire screen and not paper. Yes I do carry fire extinguishers. I am looking forward to watching your water pump videos, because the water pump on my "A" seems to have a lot of end play. A couple of local model A "experts" have told me that is normal, but it seems like a lot to me.
That’s awesome, thank you for sharing! 💕
I am totally enthused with your videos. It's not just because you both help make it simple to do the tasks that that you document but the pleasure that you seem to get being sharers of simple tasks to keep model As going! Please keep it up. As I transfer my motorcycle mania into a 4 wheel vehicle I'm dead set to own a Model-A!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment 💕
Finally, a great response to air filters! I'm with ya, brother! Great video T&P!
Thank you Kevin 💕
Hey Paul and Tina! Thanks for all the videos you guys are great, and Tina I just wanted to let you know I'm already teaching my grandaughter how to work on my 1928 Model A Tudor. She grabbbed a tool from me when she was 2 and I told my Son she's the one! GOD BLESS you both, and thanks, Sonny
Thank you Sonny!! Omg, that is so awesome!! I love that you support her love for working on cars! Grandpa of the year award 🥳🏆🥇💗🎉
God bless you always!
I have been watching Paul's channel for quite some time and just discovered Tina. You two are a wonderful couple and I can tell you love one another very much. God bless the both you and thank you such...
Thank you SO much William 💗 Thank you for joining us and yes, I’ve loved Paul since 7th grade science class 😍
I enjoy watching you and Paul. I have not worked on a Model A for over 50 years. A high school buddy had one back in the 1960s. He completely disassembled it and rebuilt everything. I remember going to his house and there were parts everywhere. I spent 45 years in the automotive repair business but the oldest thing I worked on was a 32 Plymouth. I have worked on several antique tractors.
Very awesome, thanks for sharing Grant!
Always great to see y’all ❤️❤️❤️ John Godbey
Thank you! 💕
You two are such an awesome couple! You really are!! Wishing I could buy a Model A too, but house renovations are taking all my money. Speaking of the heat. I live in NW Florida and I used to work on and around aircraft for 41yrs, and if I ever move, I have my eyes set on North Western North Carolina. Feels like Heaven there. 12 years ago, while staying in Ashe County,NC 4th of July week, the high only got to 78 or so with cool nights. You two ought to consider moving to Ashe County,NC and take Dad with ya. 😉
Thank you SO much 💗💕
Ya, renovation’s cost a lot for sure!
We worked hard to be debt free and we live in our dream place, so no moving for us, but that sure sounds like great weather 💗
Thanks for sharing!!
What a warm and cozy ambient you both gave us here at home. It’s like you both are here in Curacao in our tv room on the big screen. You Tina are the top of the cream of making these you tube videos such a pleasure to listen you and Paul, answering the very educative questions. Tops, there is always items or topics to learn from and applicable to hobbyist like we. These type of talk shows are so great, to see in groups or as I do with my wife, she also really enjoy Paul’s expressions and always has a humor touch. Thanks my great people, you both are a Pilar for me as a Model A enthousiast and owner to widen and learn towards full enjoyment of our time machine. May God bless both of you including Bob. Myron & Angelica from the island of Curaçao 🇨🇼.
Thank you so very much Myron, you really touch my heart, that means so much to me! 💕
God bless you and your wife, have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend!
The Model T crowd has been buying rubber stem tubes, cutting the stems off, and installing the correct metal stems for years. Unlike Model As, finding the correct Schrader 777 stems is a big challenge. :)
Thanks for sharing!
Great job Tina! I'm so glad to see that your good health has returned! Our prayers for your recovery were answered.
For Paul: My 29 Tudor's horn would not work when I bought it. The previous owner told me that he never could get it to work so he wired in a new horn button and attached it to the steering column. It was one of the first things on my "To Do" list when I began the sorting process. I could not get continuity through the wire from the horn button to the little brass grommet at the other end of the horn rod. I noticed that the little connection grommet is a two-piece, crimped unit. I had continuity to the first part, but not to the second part of it. I flowed a small drop of solder at the crimp where the two pieces are joined, and that cured the horn problem. It works great now.
Maybe this will help someone.
God bless you both!
Keep up the great work guys!

Thank you SO much for your prayers 😍🙏💗 I believe completely and I got over the rona so fast, definitely a miracle!
Thank you for sharing, every little bit of help is wonderful!! You never know when someone is having the same problem 💕
Have an awesome weekend and stay well!!
Tina, years ago, my wife and I were driving our, non Ford, 1929 when we were rear ended by an inebriated driver. He shoved us toward 2 telephone poles. Then he hit us again and flipped the car into ongoing traffic. My wife wound up going into our shock-trauma unit and I went to a regular hospital. My wife, the accident investigator, and the physicians contribute her living through the accident on the old car. A new car would have crumpled around us and squashed. The investigator testified to this in the trial. So, your feeling about the safety of old cars has merit, sometimes!
Thank God you both survived!! Thank you so much for sharing 💕💗
Yup, Model T, your episode on which models will be better for different size drivers was just brilliant! Helped me out immensely to consider what to get interested in to acquire so living with it will be comfortable. The search continues…❤️ St Marys, GA
Very awesome, thank you 💗💕
I'm with Tina do another drive series and maybe go through the winter every day driving!
Hi! Unfortunately we can’t afford the insurance to make it a daily driver now, insurance has gone so high in California along with everything else 🤪
@@Modeltshinn that is so sad. I wonder if it was an every day video upload series if it gave your channel enough views that it would pan out
@@owenc96 actually at the time that Paul did his daily driving experience he wasn’t making videos yet lol, it was after all that, he ended up do a video talking about our 1929 Fordor and that got a lot of attention, wondered if there was something to it, so he did another video on that Fordor I believe changing oil…it took off, so Paul kept rolling with it and realized there was a need 😁
Well you might remember this, as I have mentioned it in previous comments, I have a '63 Massey Ferguson tractor that has a 4 cylinder Continental engine. I have replaced a lot of the electrical loop, (i.e. coil, spark plugs and cables, distributor, rotor, points and condenser, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, safety neutral switch, etc...). I'm having issues with not getting it to start and I know the starter needs work on it, but it may be to the ammeter. I'm going to check into it, that may cause me some issues, it is the original, so it could be the problem. Your funny Model T, saying for Paul to tell his friends to shut their yaps, I enjoyed yours and Paul's reactions. Thanks for all the info, I hope you all have a fantastic evening and a great week.
Thank you for sharing Dan! Me and Paul have very silly sense of humors together, we do have fun! You have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend! 💗
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
I agree with you Tina, I like the simplicity. Although I might want a little more complexity (e.g. power disc breaks) and more speed, I love the style of 20’s cars. They are serious cars, not like the clown cars they make today.
Thank you Steve 💕 There’s just something special about these old vehicles, so much style, so much pride went into design, materials and building them.
Americans really need to go back to those standards ♥️
Love you guys. Thanks for all your honesty.You both super special.Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Dean 💗
Thanks
Ya'll are a great couple! You really click off of each other. Keep up the great vids!
Thank you so much 💗 It’s easy when I’ve loved Paul since 7th grade 💕
Paul, this vid. reminds me of several things. I had a 1965 Chevy S/S 350, 4 spd. Ran hot a lot. Couldn't figure it out. So, I wanted to install two ped cocks. One on each side of the lower black. Well, as I removed the first plug, waiting for all the hot water to come flying out at me. To my surprise, nothing, not a drop. After poking around in the hole, I found casting sand. The other side also, no wonder the engine ran hot. I told my two daughters about under the hood. What things were and where things were .I said to them I don't want you to do the oil changes or the tune ups but to know how things are done. If a mechanic says that the muffler bearings have to be replaced, RUN, DON'T WALK TO THE NEAREST EXIT! haha.
Thanks for sharing 💕
Thanks for another great video, i love these Q&A sessions!
Thank you Jeff 💗
Strange that you would said that, I was at an auction once and bought a lot of steering shafts/boxes, all for one money (a dozen or so) I picked all the seven tooth shafts loaded them in my truck and let the two tooth shafts lay and walked away from them, if I knew then what I know now. But wait you must change the steering wheel too. Thanks for the video friend’s
Oh wow! What a bummer!
Hi Paul, hi Tina, just to let you know, 8 pounds sterling is about 9.70 US dollars per gallon at today's rate. Expensive!
Wow thanks for sharing, gosh so expensive!!
AD the office following you and Tina under my boss time great!!!!!!
So awesome, thank you 💕
Thank you very much for acknowledging my question about the “Horn Rod.” I am looking forward to the question being added to the “White Board.” Some things are sometimes beyond me. But with patience and time I’ll be able to do it. Thanks again.
You are so welcome Craig, I hope it helps! Yes, Paul’s white board is a big one!
Tshhhhh, tshhhhh tshhhhh.... you've been watching too much VGG! (Just kidding! You and Derek are my favorite youtube addictions!)
That’s funny lol
You two are grate
You are great yourself, thank you! 💕
Quality control on Burtz engines is lacking it seems. We've been having heat advisories & warning s here since mid May. A very Hot & Muggy summer this time round &104 today. Great Q & A video. Very interesting stuff folks write in about.
Thank you Craig! Yes, it’s so hot here still also, about 109 today 🤪
Try to stay cool 💗
You are welcome.
Thank you for answering my questions.
You two are wonderful, love your channel. I wish I Could nominate you for some award that the prize is something made of solid gold , you two deserve it !
New question, I recently had my battery die completely dead only made a click but had started great at home while at a car show, how embarrassing. The battery is always maintained with a battery maintainer trickle charger that's made by Schumacher for 6v and 12v battery's
I'm replacing the battery because it tested totally dead.
But my long question which I didn't mean it to be is what charger does Paul recommend, maybe my charger is getting old ?
Thanks for making such great videos and Q&A videos for everyone.
Thank you SO much, you are so wonderful!! 💕
Paul suggests - www.amazon.com/dp/B097Y3PBF3/
That is the link to the charger he likes.
This is the video where he’s talking about it if you’d like to watch, it’s about storing the Model A… th-cam.com/video/O4LCXxUhYT4/w-d-xo.html
Take care and stay well!
Fuel pricing, that would be per liter. I lived in Belgium during the late 80s through 2000. Fuel ran in the high $7.00 to low $8.00 per gallon, therefore a motorcycle and a Citroen 2CV.
Wow, thank you for that info!
Hello Tina my wife and I love both your videos and Paul’s as well! We would love to make the trip to Michigan next month and be able to say hello! We were wondering if you or Paul could recommend a Hotel to stay at?
Can’t wait to make the trip we are very excited! Be well… Leonard and Annie
Hi! It’s exciting that you both get to go, I can’t because I have to work, no more vacation time for me, so Paul will be solo.
It will be his first time going, so sorry we don’t have a clue what’s there?
I’ll have to ask Paul where he’s staying, he’ll only be there for the weekend due to his work schedule 💕
Have tons of fun!
Thanks for your honesty. Yes, Jesus saves and is coming!
Always, thank you 💕 Amen to that ✝️♥️🙏
As far as talking about getting that radius ball squared away, I just went through this recently myself the only way we were able to get that done was to use the original sponge. Or the piece of felt, whatever. But we were able to do it with one of the stick magnets you know the ones that telescope out with the magnet on the end. We were able to fish it down in there and then turn it while pulling down to get the rod through. There's no way we could have done it with the new piece of felt. Not with the engine in anyway
Can you ask Paul if Float-a-motor could help reduce engine vibration transfer to the chassis. I have a 1929 Tudor that vibrates considerably when driving. Could there be another cause I should look into first. Regards Jim
Hi James! When he gets back in town , been back and forth a lot lately, I’ll ask him. Hopefully by next week. Take care!
Paul & Tina, Thanks so much for another fine video. I do have a carburetor question. I know you probably have more questions than you want, so answer this if you like and have time. Thanks in advance. My 30 coupe engine dies when I get off the throttle quickly. From what I have read this problem appeared when Ford switched from the double venturi to the single venturi carburetor. The solution to this problem was the introduction of the brass secondary well. I remember also reading that the double venturi ran better at slow speeds and RPM. I wonder if there are any double venturi carbs with the brass secondary well? This could have happened during a transition period. I am in the process of going through one of the double venturi carbs from my collection and will install it when completed. Hope this solves the problem. Do you have any other thoughts on this subject. Hope you both stay well. Carmen
Good stuff Carmen!! Paul says it sounds like you have a vacuum leak…could be in the manifold gaskets, carb butterfly shaft….
Is everything ok with Paul? He usually puts out a new video each Saturday.😍
Yes, he’s doing good, just extremely busy lately and out of town with big projects for work, no time unfortunately.
Next Saturday though 💕
Thank you for answering my steering gear box question. Sooo since it's a 7 tooth by some chance do you have a 2 tooth for sale? 🙂
I will find out from Paul for you, he’s out of town a lot the rest of the week, so next week hopefully his schedule will calm down and I’ll ask him.
Thank you David 💕
Hello Tina and Paul. This is Phil Brennan from Staten Island, New York. Thank you for your videos. They are both helpful and enjoyable. I have a question regarding the use of the General Motors 6 volt positive ground alternator that you have suggested for use in the Model A instead of the original generator. I too like to keep my 1929 Town Sedan original with few modifications and agree that the GM alternator is a worthwhile modification, along with the few other mods you have accepted. I have a problem however with the look of the GM alternator and was wondering if you are familiar with the Powermaster 82006 PowerGEN Positive Ground Alternator specifically designed for the Model A. Its an alternator that's housed in a generator "look-a-like" case. It is more expensive at around $350 vs $230 for the Nu-Rex GM style, however it doesn't hurt my eyes as much. I'm running one and it works well.
Please share your opinion.
Hi, I’ll make sure Paul sees this and I think it’s something worth putting in our next Social media Q&A video 💕
Paul this is a question about the mitchal synchronize transmission. dose any one sell a complete kit that we can buy ourselves and do the work also.
No
No, what a bummer.
@@Modeltshinn thank you for the comment.
thank you for the comment.
Model T You started as Dad little helper>
now Paul Is your little helper?
Omg, you gave me a great laugh right there, almost sprayed my coffee everywhere 💗🤣
@@ModeltshinnI thought you will find that to be funny!
Tina, I just got my Burtz engine kit, my serial number is 0554. Please ask Paul what his number is? Anxiously awaiting Paul's video on the Burtz block.
Wow, that’s awesome, I hope all is well with yours but at least you know what to look out for just in case 💕
I’ll ask him…
Paul has his at the shop, it will probably be there till Christmas, we’ll see…
It will be after that when he’ll do his video on it.
Hang in there 💗
Do I see a Hallicrafters sx99 receiver over Tina’s shoulder?
It’s very probable 😁💕
Unfortunately the only lasting solution for the Burtz quality control issue may be having the green blocks shipped here and having the precision machining completed in the States. This situation is not unlike the experiences of a local sail designer/sail maker, who partnered with a Chinese sail sewing shop. The Chinese shop was able and often would produce a high quality sail. And mixed in with this quality product was junk, product which could not be ethically delivered to a customer. Ultimately the business relationship was cancelled. It seems to be a cultural issue more than anything. Chinese companies have the ability and often do provide quality product, however it seems there is little ethical or moral obligation to do so. This is something which I experienced working with and in other communistic based/led cultures. In my experience, larger US companies will have an onsite presence at a manufacturing facility for somewhat obvious reasons. Something out of reach for many small scale contracts.
China bashing - No, simply a reality which may be an unexpected surprise. A cost burden which must be factored in like any other production cost. I’m excited with the Burtz engine and may pull the trigger when things settle down. I don’t really need one, but it could be fun to play with. Here’s hoping.
It’s true unfortunately and if things weren’t so expensive here, all products could be American made just as it should have all along.
I’m hoping that Burtz can get things smoothed out, he seems to be a nice guy!
Myra, you nailed it, as an expat who has spend a lots of time in Chinese factories, they are very good at making / copying designs at a value; however, often without the on-site expertise understanding of critical factors (like Paul stated .005” off CL bore) can lead to potential disaster. I agree with Tina, wish we could bring back to USA however this is often not possible as unfortunately we locally have lost a bit of manufacturing ability (block casting) compared to model A era.
Model T do you like the song Hot Rod Lincoln ?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard it or about it? I’ll look it up and see if it sounds familiar or not!
@@Modeltshinn the best versions of hot rod Lincoln are From commander Cody and his lost planet airmen and Jim Varney
@@mattomon1045 I finally listened to the song, hey, pretty cool! It sounds very familiar to me, I may have heard it when I was a little girl, my dad loves that kind of music!
8 pounds sterling/ gallon = $9.72./gallon
Thank you Rob…and ouch!!! So expensive!
Sounds like John has a broken distributor....
Oh, just a bunch of “little things” with the new $$$$ block that should have been caught.
What a piece of chunk. Definitely going to go original or get a b motor before that...
Tina, I was watching your video and Chris Maley from Otsego Mi is looking for a club to join. Our club Grape Country A's are always looking for new members. We are located in SW Michigan. You can forward my email address to him so I can let him know about joining. We are a active club. And we will be at Gilmore's for Model A day's. I hope to see you there Paul.
That’s so nice of you Jerry, thank you, I’ll send this message to Chris! Paul will be there!
I also sent Chris your message asking if he’d like your email 😃💕
Chris would love your email!!
