I could be wrong I'm just going by what I was told by the dude who I got it from . I really don't care , but I am curious . It came in 8pieces so I can't be sure they were all from the same year or for that matter , even the same make . Here are a couple more pics . I know the dash is a T for sure .

Yeah, its a Ford T. Just not sure of what year. I can tell you it is older than 1926. Probably a 23-25......shouldnt be too hard to find what year...Do a Google!!...... Nice start to a cool rod!!

Thanks T42 . Love that pic Rusted 40 !!! Here is some guys T off of another forum . This is the amount of chop I'm doing this weekend I had a frame all ready but the deal went south so I'm going to make one . The motor ran strong when I pulled it and the tranny worked fine but you know how auto boxes are when they have sat , so we'll see . The item I'm going to have a hard time getting ( POVERTY IS MY MIDDLE NAME ) , bartering for is a drop front axel

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
