I had the same exact situation. The shock mounts you refer to were sold by J C Whitney back in the sixties. I know because I bought a set and had them installed on my coupe back then. They turned out not to be such a great idea so later I decided to remove them. It was a fairly tedious job...

Everyone enjoying their Model A's should be grateful there are so many quality suppliers. I go back to the sixties when there were very few parts available. Our cars were only thirty years old but most Model A's were pretty much worn out by then so there was a definite need for parts. The...

He's still with us. I talked to him yesterday. He's rebuilding a set for me

This an accessory automatic choke. I got this years ago from an old Ford dealership. One end attaches to the carb and the other end rests against the exhaust manifold. I put it on my 30 coupe once to see if it worked. It did.
