On my son's coupe, I am rebuilding the distributor. There are two scoring lines near the end of the shaft. Any idea what would cause this, something else to check, and is it okay to use or should I buy a new lower shaft?

Santa Anita A's had 16 cars in total, plus there were a few others from other businesses. https://youtu.be/s3dPozGiwoY?si=tiKzevhm1oMGgr2j&t=935

I'll add. I should have added these facts. We set the timing with a Nurex timing tool. It was a TDC with both the pin and a visual. To start the car, we had to pull the spark advance all the way down. Can I get more initial advance by turning the distributer clockwise or counter clockwise?

Thanks and thanks!

Here is the earliest photo.

Took these out super easily before disassembly of everything for fixing, cleanup and re-painting. Can't seem to find a picture beforehand, so can anyone identify where these go? A picture or diagram would be helpful. Thx!

Should be okay, and we can test it. This video is good for setting the screws. Thanks!

The Weber carburetor has been rebuilt by Earnest Carb in El Monte to another Model A. Idle seems to be okay, but we will make sure the timing is right first. When you give it gas, it hesitates and wants to stall. Eventually, it does stall. It has an Arizona Ford fuel pump, a fuel restrict...

Followup. We're going to return the items we received. The company was pleasant enough to tell me the glass shift knob (still in their online catalog) was discontinued. I received no confirmation email or shipping information, and it just showed up today. Going to return it. Not the wanted or...

Thanks all!

Not sure what Wagner had, but is this similar? https://classicautoparts.com/electrical/charging-electrical-regulation/generator-or-alternator-tension-brace Also, CW Moss? https://cwmoss.com

At an auction, I bought an HP valve cover. Can anyone tell me anything about this valve cover? It is unmarked. Can tell me what the tabs are for? I intend to take them off when I install the cover on my '32 B engine. Thanks!

& it looks good too!

Hopefully, it will be shipped soon. I still see my order as still pending since the 2nd. The charges are still pending on my credit card. I'm going to call them on Friday.

Awesome! Thanks!

In the course of gathering great things for my Ford Model A over the years, I acquired one of these flag holders that fits in between the Motometer flip-up radiator top. It's easy to put on and take off for parades. Much better than the clamp kind. Now, I', trying to find one for my son's Model...

When I get it running, I will then get a timing light on it and set it perfectly.

The engine was running fine, except I was getting pre-detonation at higher RPMs. I decided to re-time it, and here I am. FS ignitions set the curve for my engine and HC head. Since I have a B block, FS told me to find top DC with the number one plug out, and set my mark at zero there. With the...
