1928 Ford Model A - Dash Wiring

[@elund408]

the Model A is the perfect first time collectors car, fun to drive, parts available, not too expensive. Just great cars.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

The parts for these cars are so cheap it is silly.

[@vayabroder729]

@@ThisWeekWithCars BUT a lot of bad quality repops….you have to really pay attention to what you’re getting to avoid getting burned.

The coil is called an auto-transformer. It has 3 terminals, +, - and high voltage output. On a negative ground system, ignition + terminal to output terminal has the lowest resistance. Terminal - to output terminal has the highest resistance. A simple ohmmeter can be used to determine which terminal is + and - .

[@831BeachBum]

Stock Model A's have a positive ground system.

[@314Tazo]

@@831BeachBumOK, After entering the instructions, I realized Model As have positive ground and I gave the wrong instructions.. Here's the correct instructions: "+" terminal to output terminal has the highest resistance. "+" terminal to "-" terminal has the lowest resistance. A simple ohmmeter can be used to determine which terminal is + and - .

Yes, I'd like to see more of this project.

[@mr_paw_t]

looking forward to another Ford Model A video 👍

[@robertlewis2]

More Model A repairs please

[@stephenricketts7764]

It now makes sense to me why there is more than one wiring harness as you mentioned they can have different bodies. I will admit that's not something I had thought about. The original wires were likely made from vulcanised rubber which can break down over time but some may have been replaced before. I like that coil tool, you can't be in any doubt using that. She is coming along well and I look forward to the next step. Thanks Steve.👍👍

With all the more modern (comparatively) cars you work on, it's amazing to see how rudimentary, but functional these old cars really are!

[@NemiManser]

great to see the availability of anything you need regarding replacement parts

[@RedRideRVT1R]

cool series, for today's and tomorrow's

[@48920jeff]

Love how this is progressing.

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

NIce job! I get most of my Model A parts from Arizona Model A in Chandler, AZ. Great people to work with and VERY knowledgable.

[@ImsTwo]

Good video and looking forward to the next !

[@gggrumpy1]

Let's keep going on this one.

[@geraldbly4903]

I would definitely love to see more content on this car. Love model As in their simplicity

[@jeroensmit2520]

Thank you, keep them coming!

[@DavidHorsnall]

Keep going on the Model A. Enjoying the work.

[@mccornchip]

Greatest respect for your videos, super informative. Every time I end up hoping they were longer! Advice from an old electrician, use a steel fish-tape to help feed those tough reaches of the electrical harness. Would love to see you a 60’s Austin Healey.🏎🛸

[@johnvender]

Good progress, looking forward to the next installment.

[@dirthawk2669]

WOW , Cars were so basic back in the day !! Great Video Steve !

[@manuelstarr3602]

There is a chap with a Model A KZbin Channel called Paul Shinn. He is a great bloke and can help with all sorts of Model A stuff and tips. I'm sure if you need any help he would be very helpful. Take Care

[@vayabroder729]

First year Model A too! They’re positive ground.

[@andrepienaar6459]

It must be nice to be able to order parts for such an old car!

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes for sure

[@DavidHorsnall]

Thanks!

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Many Thanks!

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff thanks

[@shades360]

Coils is a good subject . Plenty of wrong coils fitted and right coils fitted wrong

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

I may have to do a video just about coils.

[@mironeko3820]

More, please. Thanks

[@daveshongkongchinachannel]

I’m amazed you can still get parts for these cars. I find it hard to get parts for my late 90s Honda Blackbird and the ones that are available are getting expensive.

[@upland1826]

I'm really surprised about how the car is able to run w/o the proper coil polarity; and love the polarity tester.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

You would be surprised how many cars out there are running with it backwards.

[@RichardCosta-j4v]

Hola muy Buenos sus videos.yo tengo que hacer todala intalacion completa de una Ford A 1928 no se mucho mas bien poco.quisiera saver todo lo necessario de comprar y si fuera posible un video o manual donde poder apprendere.aprender y saver grazie gracias

[@jeffboyles3611]

Would you consider a video outlining timing the engine? It's unbelievable what a difference it makes when it's really dialed in - fun to drive when it's right. They're very peppy little cars.

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

Check out Paul Shinn's channel - he did a great video on timing (and LOTS of other procedures)

[@elljon1]

Nice Video!....Thanks

[@timnewman1172]

Love to see this one progressing, have you gotten any farther with the 1934 Chevrolet?

[@dwilliams8365]

Why not paint the dash while everything is apart.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

This is not a restoration, not yet...

[@parrotraiser6541]

The episodes on this car seem to be coming in a strange order; it's been on the road in one.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

You are watching them out of order check this playlist to watch them in order: kzbin.info/aero/PLRMQ-ShmnWObh4eL413c2l8W9M02SJne0

[@ronaldcooper7609]

You can test coil polarity with a pencil. GOOGLE it.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

I found this article about using a pencil from Moss Motoring for others interested in reading it: mossmotoring.com/coil-polarity/

[@enginecrzy]

Eah?

[@strokenumber3]

Amazing you can just order up brand new parts for a 95 yr old car.
