Re: Rearching brake shoes.
I already offer the service hear in Ontario. People usually don't like the cost associated with shipping. I still do it on the side.

Re: Detergent oil
You can use pretty much any modern oil you want. If you have Babbitt bearings I would stay away from the fuel saving oils like 5w20. Many people use diesel engine oil and others use synthetic.

Horn/Light Switch Rod???
Is there a way to determine the length of the horn rod to fit my car? It has the later style steering box with the letter F on the outer side.

Re: Chassis number
John is correct. Ford Canada stopped putting the engine number on the frame in about mid-way through 1928. Ford of Canada was the supplier to all countries of the British Commonwealth. I have no idea...

Re: Shock absorbers - modern style
Mac's shocks are gas filled. Should never be used on a Model A. The Model A does not have enough weight to compress those shocks. Get oil filled shocks if you are going to go that route.

Re: Serial NUmber Question
I just went out and looked at my Canadian Engine and it has a star at both ends of the number. You may be correct about stamping the original number on the rebuild.

Re: Confused about motor oil prices
Crude oil is refined for fuel. Motor Oil uses a completely different type of base oil when it is manufactured. The barrel price has no bearing on what the price for motor oil is going to be.
