Would appreciate suggestions/tricks etc for installing and aligning the hood on my 1931 Model A Ford Coupe. I cannot seem to get the hood on straight. The gap between the cowling trim and the hood is about 1/2 inch on the driver's side and is almost an inch on the other. It would seem to me...

I am in the process of installing a 6.1 high compression head on my 31 Model A. I bought the specially hardened studs and all the appropriate gaskets. After installing all the head studs in the block the head gasket would not fit. The studs appear to be bent or non-concentric. As I turn the...
