    Rearching brake shoes.

    I am in Ontario Canada and have the shoe arcing machine that grinds off material so that it conforms to the diameter of the drum. Measure the drum, set the dial to the diameter and run the shoe and linings across the machine and presto chango brakes that fit the drum.

    Common Wealth Engines

    An old time mechanic in Ontario told me back in the 80"s that Ford of Canada painted their engines grey. I have no way of knowing what shade of grey it might of been. Probably the same colour of grey the Model T engines were painted.

    What is this nut on the right side of the engine block?

    It looks like the distributor lock screw and nut has been installed in error. Like others said, get the 1/8-27 pipe plug and install it.

    Detergent oil

    You can use pretty much any modern oil you want. If you have Babbitt bearings I would stay away from the fuel saving oils like 5w20. Many people use diesel engine oil and others use synthetic.

    1930 Ford A Standard roadster. What is NOT correct?

    Chassis number

    John is correct. Ford Canada stopped putting the engine number on the frame in about mid-way through 1928. Ford of Canada was the supplier to all countries of the British Commonwealth. I have no idea what those numbers stamped on/near the rear motor mounts on the pick-up are.
