Re: "Special" Intake Manifold?
It looks like the engine has a Model B exhaust manifold?
The intake manifold is kind of an odd type that seems to be like one of the unusual "unfinished" right hand drive manifolds.

Re: Canadian Model A Info
Sorry the image is kind of blurry (I don't have the hi-res image) but this is the location for RHD (RHC as they called it) frame number stamping.

Re: Canadian rad emblem is different than U.S.A.
Sorry for being late to this thread about the radiator shell. I was looking for info on the badge and saw the subsequent posts. I had a VE28 shell at one point and it also had the tabs for the badge....

Re: 190-A Victoria Coupe Trivia
Yes. As I like to say "you can fit a dead body back there!" :D:D

Re: Value of an Un-Restored Model A Engine
I'll buy multidisk clutch parts all day long. The rest of the transmission, not so much.
Being in the US, I'll also pay decent money for RHD clutch housings, particularly early ones. It's cheaper...

Re: Cartouche
I bought my 19 inch tubes with metal stems from Ecklers not long ago. I didn't have any issue with their service. I normally buy from Snyders, but no one else had the tubes in stock.

Re: Champion 3X Spark Plug
Part of the benefit of the 3X plugs it that you can take them apart and clean the individual pieces separately, then reassemble. Using a common scouring pad, they can be cleaned up quite nicely.

Re: List of Reproduction "A" Parts That Don't Work

Re: gas gauge
Glad I can replate these. They're some of the easier parts to nickel plate, in my opinion. Looks like I'll be in the money! HA! :D :p;)

Re: Dash Panels
I've seen them for this within the last year. The seller who's asking $1000+ for them on eBay either has glitching listings or is fishing for a sucker.

Re: gas gauge
What's odd about this seller is that it shows 216 of these sold...but in the seller's sold items listing, there's not a single one. :confused:

Based on eBay past sales recently, it looks like unrestored gas gauges are going in the $35-$50 range. A full reproduction set is about $130-$150 including gaskets, etc.
Based on that, if you had...
