Sweet banger! I run a 97 without problems, but I have a hotter cam and a high compression head. Love the old school style of this one. Good job! ❤😊

[@jlichi1510]

In the middle of a 53' Customline project now, but this video makes me want to take on more than I can handle and start a Model A one. Awesome!

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Haha well don’t ask me I’m a bad influence!

[@MrBlake1249]

My first hotrod was a 53 Victoria flathead 3 on the tree and I just recently got a model a, they are both loads of fun!

[@juanayrtonful]

You can also p Install a modern distributor inside the original to keep the vintage look

[@garycamara9955]

The radiator shell is too high. It shouldn't be above the cowl.

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

Neat hot rod. Thanks for sharing. -Spanky

[@Rob-hw5wr]

Took me 4 days to get my distributor off. Lots of PB blaster and tapping. For once I didn't break anything.

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Well nothing was broke or damaged I would say it was worth the time it took!

[@g.o.b.2558]

Sweet 👍

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Thanks for watching

[@garycamara9955]

Cool car but damn that radiatir shell needs to be lowered.

[@stephenbeecher7545]

Great job on the header. I use an 81 on my 4 banger ('27 T, Model B motor, Model A running gear). Did you hook up the choke? If so I didn't see it.

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Hi Stephen, I did hook up the choke, used the a model a choke rod for it.

You cheated us the good bits. Futzing with the pipes and cutting holes and failing and winning is the ride. Subscribed and hopeful! -Yes, I'm a pompous twit...but still... 😀

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Haha! I appreciate it! I quite enjoyed making the pipes, some good loud music and a hot welder is always fun

@@WiredCustomsSpeedShop Great video production. Just more process for my liking. 10/10 from a retired TV guy.

[@buddyholly3527]

Good job brother

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Thank you!

[@aaronmyers-pd4wi]

Super cool Model A! You need to tell your buddy to lower that radiator so it’s not above the cowl though! Besides that, I dig it man!

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Thank you, he did all the work I just got the play with the motor

[@peterlowen5132]

Excellent video and commentary. Thank you.

Love the video, Thanks brother for your help with our Tub.

Thanks Frank!

Hey man, I got a random question for you. When it comes to wiring, I’m an idiot 😂. I bought a vintage wiring set for my 1955 F100 from 6 to 12v and I’ve got everything working headlights running lights, but I cannot get the blinkers to work. They sent me a relay fuse but there’s nowhere to plug it into, any comments or suggestions I would love..

[@rscruiser3533]

Was that engine a Babbit bearing or Insert? ----- Do you think if it were Babbit one would have to be a little easier on the engine? Do you have an idea of what the cost might be to something like that? Will have to see if we will get see it run ----- too bad didn't have a run or two in stock form ---- then with your modifications ---- would have been nice to see how much difference it made ---- Thank You for the video ----- Hope you have a Good Week ---- Rodney

[@josephtome9600]

Try an old Harley bob-tail muffler. Looks and sounds great.

[@garycamara9955]

I have 3 97 stromberg carbs on my flathead V8.

[@Fjant]

Nice ride! I have one just like it, but a little crustier body.

[@AJStarch]

What’s up with the Blue Martian?

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

All my personal projects where put on hold and I’ve been focusing on customer work to fund my garage build, I’ll be back on it in a month or two

[@rodztorations5869]

Great video, but you got to watch those Houch guys! 😂

[@biondanishgenomeinstitute8193]

How do you prevent the cylinders running full of gas if the float bowl hangs? then it will be a real banger, bang bang bang bang ..

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

This set up is just like every single carbureted motor for the next 80 years

[@JohnnyJalopyArt]

dig what you did! looks killer!

[@KeveeMetal]

Thank you for this... In the process of hoppin up my 29... Really appreciate you man...

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Any time!

[@scottcampbell7804]

@@WiredCustomsSpeedShop great info in this video. I do have a question for you. I have a stock banger and put a 97 on it and need to jet it down. Do you have an idea of what jet size I should start with?

[@briankinnear7461]

Nice work on the Model A mods. Everything looks great. Sounds great. Love the pop!! That's a very cool looking hotrod!! Looks great on the road. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.

[@chuckthebull]
