question, isn't the A listed at 40HP
, or is the taxi plaque subject to change? or in Chicago any thing goes?

Is that HP SAE or brake?
glad it's doing well now. I guess we'll blame it on the cutout and ammeter stud. Parts I didn't replace. It now has a good original Ford Cutout ( later closed foot style) and is doing well.
I know the front shocks need completing. Thought I had a couple of the rubber balls required for those links and didn't.. so we'll take care of those in a couple of weeks when I do my checkup on Sarah. Head is now re-torqued a couple of times and should be good for the duration.
Drive her and enjoy her!

31 Model A,
Just an observation for safe concerns, your pictures show your shocks are not hooked up. Any reason why? Also, the original instructions on using an Autolite heater, there is supposed to be a space between the heater cover and the inlet. This was to allow fresh air to blend with the hot air, so as I assume, you didn't barbeque the passengers feet or a multitude of other reasons. There never was suppose to be a direct conduit from the heater cover to the inlet for the Autolite. They are quite toasty and worked well in the winter in Flagstaff, Ariz. I really enjoy your car.

Thanks again Larry, I'll order the rubber balls Monday. I took her out twice today after you left......fun time as returned.

That's the first I have heard about that. I guess that's understandable as long as there is no exhaust leak....I do like the idea of the connecting hose for quietness. It's loud enough as is.

'31 Model A - Can you explain the installation of your trunk carrier. I noticed that the wood is up with the suitcase on top of that. Others I have observed the wood does not show until the trunk is removed and carrier folded up. Is this trunk carrier different then the many parts houses sell?
