Model A Parts Question

[Mark Schwing]

One of the tailgate swap shop vendors at the Vancouver convention mentioned that there are two Model A part numbers that can still be ordered through a local Ford dealer. One was the points. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the other one. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? Has anyone ever tried ordering through a local Ford dealer? Certainly the points from Ford on rebuilt distributors by this vendor were much more beefy and in straight alignment.

The tire air valve (I think it is called the valve stem, just the inner part) is probably the other one. I am not sure of the exact name. They fit the Model T and are still being used. Since Ford renumbered everything in 1932 they will probably have a "B" prefix.
