Feel Like Something's Missing?

You must drive a Ford! Many years ago a very nice gentleman gave me an old and bedraggled book with the title: "Dyke's Automobile and Gas Engine Encyclopedia." Do you wonder how to tune up your Baker Electric, or how to adjust your Klaxon Horn? All of that important information is in this book, plus, advice on how to become a successful car salesman! The back of the book has a Ford supplement, with everything you ever needed to know about working on your Model T, as of 1919.

In celebration of the 100th birthday of the Model T, True Blue studios will be posting pertinent pages guaranteed to improve your life if you drive a Tin Lizzie; at least we will unless this old book crumbles as I scan it. You will learn important skills, such as gapping your sparkplugs with a worn out dime, grinding your valves, and adjusting your transmission bands. We will even consider honoring requests for specific problems, so you can keep your T on the road!

All of these posts will be labeled "T's" so you can find them easily. Stay tuned!
