Re: How Many Model A's Are There Now?

I used to work at the GM Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan back in the old muscle car days. Was a great time then.

And remember the Greenfield Village old Ford festivities.

Re: Cold Outside So Do I Run, Crank, Sit or Ignore?

I would run it until it gets up to operating temperature for 15-20 minutes or so every month.

Just my opinion.

Re: Tires

If you are buying a whole set, I would spend the money and get radial tires.

Just my opinion.

Re: “The Restorer” for Jan/Feb 2021

I get one mag one month, and the next month the other mag comes.

That works for me.

Almost like a monthly mag that way :)

Re: Goodbye my Friend

I worked in the Walla Walla and Dayton area of Washington state back in 1967 in the pea and wheat harvest.

Great country and good people out that way.

Re: Why are there so many more 1930 grill shells than 1931s?

I was thinking the '28/'29 grill shells were the same......and the '30/'31 grill shells were the same.

I guess there is a visual or some other difference between the '30 and the '31 grill shells?

I'm thinking whether to buy radial tires or not is the key issue these days.

Re: What are some of the counter intuitive things you have learned about a Model A?

Thanks, Brent....I am guessing "1/2-way advanced on the quadrant" is with the spark lever at about 9 o'clock.

And fully advanced is with the lever at about 8 o'clock.
