Re: Gear shift lever on a Model A
Bock in the late 50's/early 60's I drove a '30 Tudor as regular transportation. Including dating. Some things you can't do in the front seat of a Model A no matter how hard you try, but many you can!...

Re: Champion No. 20 Spark Plugs
Sorry - no. They are used in a bag with others. Insulators appear stained although I haven't tried to clean them. Points look almost new. Nice and clean in the combustion area. And I only have...

Re: Champion No. 20 Spark Plugs
No - just 20. Only have two ribs at the top - the rest is smooth. Not like the W14 I have which has ribs all down the insulator except where the numbers are.
