Never thought I would have to go to Weathersfield. They are like any other govt entity. They just push paper. As long as you have all the paperwork that they want to,see they are happy. As a matter of fact my car does not have a odometer at this time so the odometer reading was blank on both the...

Good pointers. Thank you. I will re-torque the head and go from there. Thanks, Todd q

First of all I am a complete neophyte when it comes to Model A's. I've worked on and restored a few cars over the years but this is my first A. I bought the car from a gentlemen who bought it from the estate of the previous owners widow.It sat for 10 years from his passing until now...
