Paul Shinn does a great job at explaining and publicizing the Model A Ford. Keep up the good work. As far as expert advice, I have seen much expert advice (and have it UN-expert-ed by the next expert) over the last 54 years since I bought my A. Most publications have some mistakes. No comment...

Any light problem, ever, check your grounds. Don't ask me how I know. Seriously, check grounds to lights and to frame.
