Re: Westach Ammeters.
Westach has both the 20-0-20 and 30-0-30 gauge. They fit the Model A and work perfectly. I installed one last month and I highly recommend it!!!!

Re: engine slows when advance timing
Skip the NUREX tool and do it the old fashioned way. Had trouble with that tool on a club members car because the points plate was an after market item.

Re: New Ahooga Horns from Suppliers

Re: Cooling Air Flow Experiment
I don't see what this experiment tells you. A better experiment, if possible, would be to do this same experiment at 40 MPH with the engine pans in place to see the ACTUAL airflow while cruising.

Re: spark plug recommendation needed
3x plug expensive compared to other plugs, but they will last 25-30,000 miles which is probably 15 years worth of driving, that expense over that long a time shouldn't be a problem.
