Re: Condenser for 1933 model B
My original was always missing the screw. Maybe that caused my spark problems. Then condenser never had sound contact. I have to find a suitable screw.

Re: NO Spark
Is there a special trick in getting the rotor off to check the points? I thought the rotor will just pull off?

Re: Condenser for 1933 model B
Is this end of the condenser merely held in by the tension of the pull knob or should it be screwed into something? Show that pull knob actually screw into something. It turns but does not tighten.

Re: trying to install a STARTER
The stack of wood is a good approach, just to find the right shims to align the holes. These old fords are machined so well that everything has to line up perfectly to fit. Great engineering.
