    Today was a great day for me. I drove my 1926 Model T Two-door sedan for the first time. It sat for several years (5 or 6) never having the motor run. I got it about a month ago and spent most of my time on my car conducting maintenance and quite a bit of time on the wooden spoke wheels that I doubt were never treated and greasing bearings and such. What I said to myself was, "And now for something entirely different". Nothing could be closer to the truth. But no mishaps. Love my Liz.

    I have a rebuilt Model T with various modifications, and this still helped a bunch! I’d like to know a few things though: 1. What is the other thing near the choke on the inside? 2. What is the button on the steering wheel? 3. I’ve always had issues with my coils, do you have any tips?

    Interesting how these work. Does the ignition system require a charged battery at all times or is there another system on the vehicle to generate the 6 volts needed by the primary circuit? Also, how is the ignition timing set, so it fires at the correct point in the compression stroke? Fascinating to see how the systems have evolved over the years. Thanks much!

  • @ModelTMitch
    @ModelTMitch18 күн бұрын

    Ignition on mine needs a charged battery for starting, then I switch immediately over to magneto once the engine is running, as it provides a bit extra current than the battery. Timing is controlled by the timer at the front of the engine. Where a distributor on a modern engine allocates high voltage from a single coil to each spark plug, the timer on a T allocates low voltage to each ignition coil in sequence. Hope that makes sense 😄

  • @brucekivi
    @brucekiviАй бұрын

    Thanks for the video. Good job well done. Just a few points here. I am curious how the coil box operates, how it builds up the charge to fire the plugs and how the spark timing is accomplished or changed. Also, you might already know, the bolts with the square behind the head are called carriage bolts here. They are quite useful for tightening into a piece of wood from one side as the square prevents the head from turning once it gets a grip. I would also suggest a good set of Imperial socket wrenches to make your work easier. I have a 1964 Mercury and it's interesting to note the advances in technology in the 40 years between your car and mine. It makes me think how far we have come since that time too. After all, it has now been about 60 years since my Mercury was built and things have changes quite a lot. It's an open debate whether all the changes are worthwhile or not of course. Thanks always for your videos. Fascinating always. Have a good day mate, from Minnesota USA.

    Since you will be rebuilding the coil box and such can you show the difference (if any) of the engine running and driving on battery vrs pn mag? My mag is dead, and I am running on battery only until the season is over. I've never run on mag and seem the difference, but I hear there is a noticeable improvement in performance. Others say there is no noticeable difference. Would love a definitive answer as to how big of a deal it is to not have mag.

    My magneto works fine, so yes, I can show you the difference between the two. A healthy fully charged battery is always helpful! My T has a strong magneto, so it always performs best on magneto over battery 🔋 😀

    The Model T is a great example of why keeping cars simple allows you to make a lot of them, and sell them for reasonable prices. Who needs a distributor when they have a coil for each spark plug? More coils means less horsepower lost when there's an issue with one of the coils, but sometimes all of the coils have an issue simultaneously. It happens, but we have the technology to fix it.

    It's not meant to spin. Depending on which bracket you have, the nut should be castellated (notched), to allow a cotter pin to be installed, which prevents over tightening. Also make sure you keep the fan bushing greased, been there done that, my fan jammed due to lack of grease!!
