I am having trouble getting my hub on with a new axle key. I know the taper goes toward the inside of the axle, but does the key go into the keyway with the taper down or up?

Thanks for the replies. I will check what you have mentioned. The speedometer doesn't work, so I can't use that as a guage.

I just hooked my new 6 volt battery to my 1928 model A coupe but only the lights would work. No starter or horn. I checked the battery and it is fine. Any ideas-suggestions?

Thanks for all the help. The pawl was stuck on the ratchet. I got it loose.
