Hey all. Thanks for all the info and advice. Tried re-torquing them, but still had the leak. Time to replace in now.

So here’s my problem. I’m working on getting my 28 CCPU running. I’ve rebuilt the carbuerator and fixed a few other small items. Tonight I’m happy to say that I got it running for the first time in about five years. Super exciting. Unfortunately, I now discovered a leaking head gasket above the...

Thanks for the advice. Gives me some starting points.

I have recently acquired a 1928 model A closed cab pick up. It was running about 4 years ago. I can get it to turn over now with a new battery, but won't turn over. Any thoughts on where to go next, carburetor or distributor? just trouble shooting. Will eventually get both fixed up. Thanks.
