PLEASE NOTE: The timing tool giveaway is over. Thank you to all!

Relaxing, enjoyable and informative! Wow once again I found this to be valuable and helpful as well as a joy to watch!

Timing Tool!!! Great Video Paul, I really appreciate your insights and practical approach.

Happy to come across this channel. I owned a 1929 A from 1953 to about 1958. It was my first car and was not considered very cool at that time. It was rusted out on the driver side just south of the driver's door. It was a coup converted with a well made pick up bed where I kept at least 2 gallons of recycled oil for obvious reasons.When I first got it the main bearings were shot so I pulled the engine and had new mains and rods rebabbited at a local machine shop. Very common in those days. I installed everything but did not put new rings in it. I was financially exhausted. Regret that decision. The only maintaince manual available was Floyd Clymers reproduction of the original ford book. Over the 5 years I worked on EVERYTHING! It is not a low maintenance car if driven every day. Drove from Tucson to the Mogollom rim which was a hard dirt road trip of about 230 miles. It never let us down but many things loosened up. Brother and I had tools and many parts with us and 4 extra old tires and tire irons. We used them all up that summer and lots of oil. The whole affair was a love/hate relationship. Sold it in '58 for $50. Two weeks later the buyer came back and wanted his money back. He had driven it on the highway 65+ mph and just beat the bearings to death. I always drove about 45.

That Timing Tool is cool! Thanks to you and your video partner for these videos.

timing tool I like your laid back approach to every thing model a, keep up the great work!

Timing tool! Great video! By far the best Model A videos out there!

I set mine today just as you had suggested, runs real nice, smooth the thing right out.

Thanks for your expert instructions! Love your videos!

Timing tool. Paul your videos are great. I am new to the Model A world. Looking forward to learning more and having your videos as a reference.

Timing Tool - First time owner. I have a lot to learn. Thank you!!

Timing tool! I love these cars and I need one in my life! All your videos are brilliant, Paul! I love the technical nature and how in depth you go.

Thank you very very much for your videos. I am very close to having my own model A in the garage - so all these well made tutorials are pretty much a god's gift for me! Keep 'em coming! :D

That was a great program aii model a owners needed to see that 😀 thanks for all the help in your video. It helps me I know it has to help others.

Love the timing tool Paul, thank you.

Thanks for showing the use of the timing tool and the info on oiling the distributor. I didn't know it could be a problem until I saw your other YT video yesterday. I will be oiling mine before the next startup. Jim

Timing tool. Really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!

Good work Paul! I just bought a 31 coupe, and before I had it home I bought the book and the timing tool. Your videos are a wonderful resource, thank you.

Timing Tool. Great info Paul. Thank you

Timing tool!! Your videos are helping me keep my grandpas 30 Tudor running thank you

fantastic video for us new owners love your wrench and timing tool

Love your videos Paul! My dad purchased a 1930 Tudor when he was 17 years old. He is now 76 and the car is still with us! After being drafted to Vietnam and then raising 4 kids he retired with intentions of getting it road worthy Again but suffered a massive stroke at age 68. My brother has restored the car to my dads thoughts and dreams though he can't drive it he loves riding! You however have inspired me to buy one of my own. It's a 1930 Tudor. I named him Norm and we are getting him road worthy which won't take much. Thank you so much for your shared knowledge it is helping me along greatly! We live in up state NY but it would be a dream to meet you and Tina and of course your dad sometime! You guys are awesome!!!

Hey I know this guy!

Very helpful video on timing my Model A with the timing tool. Thank you!

Timing tool. Nice video I love model A s. I grow up around classic cars hope to own one one day.

Timing tool. Love your videos. Thanks for all the great information.

Timing tool, as all your videos, this one is well thought out and produced. As a long time Model A’er, timing is one of the hardest things to conquer. A very good friend of mind thought me the in’s and out’s of working on a Model A. The tool you show would make a greater addition to anybody’s tool box and well worth the investment. Thanks again and I look forward to your next video, Lecil Alexander

Timing Tool Thanks for another great video Paul

That Timing Tool looks like a perfect addition for the tool kit that travels with Edna my '31 Sport Coupe!

Timing Tool. That method seems like a great idea. I’ll give it a try. Thanks

2 degrees past TDC...that makes so much sense with regards to hand cranking. That makes so much sense! Thanks.

Thank you. Just picked up a Tudor and your video was helpful.

Timing tool! Like the adjustment to set TDC down one or two notches and will be checking my timing this coming weekend. Would also love to see a related video on detecting & solving misfiring issues.

timing tool. one of the best videos I have seen

Timing tool! I'll give it a go - and thanx for the videos, they are really appreciated!

Timing Tool. Thx for a great video. Looking forward to the distributor rebuild.

I like the old radios on the shelf. I had a clear V-8 chevy cap that I used to use many years ago.

Timing Tool :D Great videos Paul. Always so useful to watch :)

Timing Tool. Thanks so much for the video. Seen and read it many times but the light never came on or bell rang until I watched you do it!

Timing tool! Awesome instructions, as always, Paul! Thanks so much!!!!

Timing tool ! Excellent videos,keep up the great work ❤️

Timing tool. Looks great. Clear and simple. I have my to sons 23 & 25 watch for when |I am gone they will be among the few who still know how to work a Model A

And, #4, as I recently discovered, 2 blade vs 4 blade. Sigh. You’re videos are super informative- thank you!

Timing tool! Great idea to prevent kick back. Thank you.

And further more your cars SOUND SO GOOD! They don't sound like old ragged jalopies but rather a proper car! Thanks Paul for continuing to keep these cars up and give us so much info!

Timing Tool. Great helpful video! Keep up the good work!

I enjoy your videos, I have only been a model A owner for 6 months.

So COOL! Love this about the Timing Tool!

timing tool. Great job! I'll adjust my car the same way from now on

Timing Tool - Hello Paul. I see that back in the day Henry (Ford) did a great job of assisting the owners of Ford cars running by making "tune-up" tasks easier - like setting the ignition timing. You are doing a really nice job with your videos. Keep up the good work as I will definitely utilize your youtube channel as a source of information when I finally get my '31 Ford Model A. Thanks.

Timing Tool. We will need this soon. Great video

Timing Tool - I have been timing like you described only I didn't know about the spark one click deal. I am going to try it next time and see how it does, thanks for your good videos.

This was very helpful! Thanks Timing tool

Timing tool, always a good and fun video to watch.

timing tool! Great video. I have a 1931 tudor sedan In progress. The complete running gear is assembled and running. I"ve owned it since 1951. It"s my first car.

I do not have an A ,but like these cars and your channel keep the clips on.

Timing tool , you sir are a walking book of knowledge. Thanks for doing the videos. I have a 30 Model A Deluxe Coupe my wife and I are enjoying. Learning a lot from your videos.

So that crank turning tool is your own creation, amazing I thought it's part of original car tool kit. Thank you

Super Lube is also the only lubricant I use on pinball machines. Excellent product.

Thanks for this video Paul. I am new to Model A land....you make it look so simple. After getting the Model A out of winter storage it doesn't want to start. It started fine last Fall after we timed it. I am going to follow your video to see where I am losing my spark. The timing tool you show must be the answer. Thanks again !

Always good information you give us. Thank you Paul

My pleasure! Thank YOU

I wish my spark advance lever worked as easy as yours. Mine has to be moved with the heel of my hand, same with the throttle lever. This is my first Model A, so maybe it will loosen up some with use. Thanks for the clear instructions using the timing tool, all of your videos are clear and very informative.

The clear distributor cap was neat. Love where the spark plugs are located, easy access to the cylinder.

Timing tool! Just got my first model A recently and I’m trying to get it running. It sat in the previous owner’s garage for years without anyone running it, so I’m trying to learn about them to try and fire it up. Great video. Very helpful. Hoping to hear the engine run soon Esteban Glendora, CA

Timing tool, great video as always. Keep them coming.

I have been doing Model A's for a long time. I always time them almost exactly as you have here. This is an outstanding "How To" and shows just how much you know about these great cars. Timed correctly, anyone can hand-crank an "A" just as you demonstrated.

Thanks for the informative videos Paul. I restored my first A in 1970 and drove it 500 miles From Flint Mi. to Green Bay Wisc. and back without a breakdown. After a long hiatus from As I bought another one-a 31 Deluxe Roadster spring of 2000 and drive it around Fenton usually a couple times a week. At 77 I don't work on them much anymore but with a renewed interest, I enjoy just driving them (as we should). I also have done some bench work on Tube Amps-namely Fisher 800B and 500C that I own so I feel a connection with your similar interests. Cheers, Lyle

Timing tool. Great information, keep it up thanks.

That clear distributor cap looks really cool! It shouldn't be all that tricky to make one, seeing what a basic shape it is. Maybe even 3D printing can work

Timing tool. Extremely informative. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Greatly appreciate this video. My Dad just bought a '31 and we are sorting the kinks out tomorrow; ignition timing is first on the list. Appreciate the tip about being After TDC with the lever all the way up. Glad I found your channel.

Right on! If I got a Model A when I was 8, life would have turned out a lot different (better).

Great show, my dream fulfilled would be a model A four door sedan. My dad was born in 1928 and mom in 1930. It would be great to have a car to mark their beginning. I have a 1955 Chevy to mark my beginning. Thanks for being my model A mentor.

Thanks again for another great video! Just finished timing my 1930 ccpu. I don't have the clear cap but took an old cap and cut both sides off leaving the center strip with the clip notches. Works the same for 'checking things out on the inside'. I had commented earlier but missed on the tool... next time.

I loved the see thru distributor cap. The way you did the light angle on the piston was great. would I be right to say timing a T that way would save many an arm while cranking just like your A??? Like many others your channel has become my favorite Model A channel also. I have no T or A or any antique car so good luck to whoever wins it. Thanks Paul.

I am in the process of buying my first Model A, and I would sure love to have a . . . Timing Tool! And thanks for the shout out to the Utah Valley Model A Club. They are the best!
