Re: Front and rear Hubs
I'm not sure what your question is. If your 'new' hubs have all 5 studs swedged in place, use them. Don't over torque, 60 lbs is very adequate.

Re: "New Engine" Balancing"
Balancing a 4 cyl. engine does not have to be done as a unit, the crank, rods, flywheel, etc. can al be done separately.

Re: Tight crank gear
I always use a steel gear, a good, old, steel gear is better than a new cast iron gear.

Re: Tight crank gear
Heat the gear with a oxy/acet or blow torch. Heat it quite but not enough to show any color on it. It should then slip on, at least part way, then gently pound it on all the way. I made a driver...

Re: Not A, But Interesting
Very interesting! Makes me wonder how Ford and Dodge/Plymouth made their tubular axles in the late 30's? Chrysler also made one but it was a 3-piece unit with riveted on ends.

Re: Sticking valves?
I definitely recommend IMO but also think your rings may be worn, because the compression is slow but fine with oil added. Do the MMO first.

Re: Side Water Outlet
The diamond is a genuine Ford part but cast by an outside foundry. That mark can be found on many Ford parts.

Re: Winfield Model M updraft carb
They were only used on T's. They are better than the stock T carb, but IMO a bit small for the Model A. I've run a few Winfield model S on my warmed up Model A, and really like them.
