I notice that in just about every post there are arguments against the topic. So what are the most common / passionate argumentative aspects of the Model "A"?
For examples: Motor oil; Alternators; etc.
 
Air filters, mechanical brakes, 6 volt battery, detergent/non-detergent oil, oil filters, head gaskets, babbitt vs inserts, that should be enough for now. :)
 
We were on tour someplace and a little older lady with the nicest purple hair was wistfully looking into mt rumble seat. I took a chance and asked" did you ever fool around in the Model A rumble seat? She went misty a bit, then said: YES, but not with HIM!!

Clem, you reminded me of something that happened on one of our club outings.

As one of our community services, we go to nursing homes and give the residents a ride in our Model As. They always seem to enjoy this as the cars are from their era. One Lady, who must have been in her 90's, took a liking to one of our members and his roadster. Later in the day after lunch and we were getting ready to leave, Jim "found" the Lady's keys to her room on the rumble seat cushion.
 
Some years ago my car was not done so my "A" friend let me show his car in local parades. His instructions were to watch the faces of the older women in the crowd. When we went by there were many grins to see.
 
Seems like going to 12V, modernizing the distributor, and high compression heads lead the pack of high dispute issues.
