    Need reliable "real sounding" horn

    I'm sure that "repo" horns sold by Snyders, Mikes & Etc will sound good. But why not stick about $100- 125 dollars in your pocket and go to a Model A swap meet and get an original, there are many too choose from.

    Body/fender steel

    Not to add to the confusion, but I had a '29 with one 17ga. rear fender and one 19ga. fender. The 17ga. seemed that it weighed twice that of the other one. Always thought it might be an old aftermarket from Western Auto or some place like it.

    head gasket/6:1/mystery?

    The best way to go is with a copper head gasket, sprayed with Copper Coat, and most important, torque the head down in increments starting at 35# then 45# and then 55#, unless you have grade 8 studs and a good block then to 60# hot. This works for me with a 8.5-1 head.
