You have read here all the time about using an analog meter when tracing down electrical problems. How about checking your point gap without ever opening the distributor? Adjusting the carb (carbs)? I suggest picking up an old Heathkit tune up meter ID-29. You only need to hook up 2 wires to...

Came across this; http://www.ebay.com/itm/162421464658 "Ford model A complete set of fenders and running boards. The front grille with headlights and headlights support bracket is also part of this sale. Both front fenders come with the original spare tire carrier pockets.The add says "local...

Along with the previous thread about when the last A was made, have you ever noticed that just because a part is old people think the part is worth a small fortune? I mean ever seen ad like "Model A, Model T, Chevy,? from an estate sale. Not sure what it is or where it fits, $125.00." Also the...

There were accessory slip covers available for the Model A. Anyone have pictures of what the Laidlaw company fabric looked like. Am I pushing it for the pattern of the Victoria, A-18638-A?
