Sometimes I buy something from one of the Model A Parts dealers when I could buy it cheaper at the auto parts, however we should try to help these dealers because they carry parts that one cannot get at the auto parts. Being able to order after hours and get it delivered to my door is usually...
I learned most of what I know about my A from studying parts catalogs. Different hints, drawings from each vendor. Catalog will show hardware, gaskets, springs, etc . pictures of original parts and modern if available. Information that is useful
4 stations within a couple miles of me have 100% gas for about $4.50. one
station has 87 oct, one has 92 oct. Lots of boaters around and most use 100%.
several years ago, on a small order from a supplier I added 10 gaskets, $2.50. I change gasket every time. $.25 each change is not much to waste and I don't have to tighten the plug so tight
I just made what I am sure is an aggravating order from Bert's. Less than $15, however service was great, shipping was fast. That is why I give him my larger orders also. Since my car is "finished" I don't order much.
i had a guy come by weekly for help and advise, loaned him a homemade $5 tool and never saw him again. I was good with that! I had never charged him a dime.
