    3X spark plugs from Amazon

    I opened the box tonight and tried to unscrew the inner and outer parts with no results. Does anybody know if these plugs are threaded and unscrew apart or are a fakey looking solid piece? I put heavy force on two of the four in the box and no results. Tried both directions. Thanks Ford...

    Coil wire

    Today I discovered that the high voltage wire between the coil and distributer has 7,000 ohms resistance and is about 14 inches long. Appparently it is for a more modern car with a radio. Is it OK to keep this wire or should it be replaced with a new one from the Model A suppliers. Thanks.

    Cost to adjust shims

    I suspect the rod & main bearings need to be checked for clearance and have shims adjusted. What is a reasonable charge for this - including oil pan cleaning & new oil? About how many shop hours are usually involved? Thanks.

    Light switch question

    I am having trouble understanding what is inside the light switch bulb on the bottom of the steering column on a 31 pickup. I see the disc with contacts and wires attached but what completes the circuit? Is the spider insulated from ground? Is there another part in there. I sure could use a...
