The Tour Preparation and Maintenance DVD we've been working on for nearly a year is now available for sale. It is 54 minutes long and covers 38 maintenance routines we should all perform on our cars each year before the touring season begins. This DVD includes a BONUS 10 minute program showing how to properly plane or deck manifolds so they will fit properly on your engine.

Watch as 19 Model A's gather for a full-day-long seminar in tour maintenance. One of our club guidelines says that club tours should not be used as test drives for member's cars. It is the responsibility of every Model A owner to be sure their car is properly maintained and ready to drive. Club tour breakdowns are distracting and can cause some people to miss out on important parts of the tour. Be sure you have your car running well so you don't experience failures that might have been prevented with proper annual maintenance. Remember, our Model A's are not equipped with modern technology like sealed bearings and engines guaranteed for 100,000 miles. We have to take care of our equipment on a much more regular basis. This video shows you the routines you should use to do just that. Once you see this program, you will want to order another copy for a friend.

If you have ever wondered how your intake and exhaust manifolds were made perfectly flat so they would seal against your engine block, we have just the video for you. As a BONUS, you will receive on the same DVD, the program titled, Decking Your Model A Manifolds. This is a 10-minute look at how manifolds are ground down together so they are perfectly planed and ready to seal against the engine block with your mainfold gasket. Consider it a little "behind the scenes" look at an important step in building your engine components so they all work together well. If you don't do this, you risk experiencing a vacuum leak that will cause backfiring and loss of power.

These videos were produced by the Diablo A's. They are NOT professionally made videos. Annual Tour Preparation is an edited version of the technical seminar conducted for our club members.
