Re: Model A produce trucks
Thanks, WTSHNN, that big pic looks to be at least 1958 or later based on the Olds in the pic.
Not too many Model A's there by then.

Re: Distributor spark plug connectors
Y-Blockhead, what you said makes sense, which begs the question....is one preferable if you don't plan to show the car in a judged event. In essence, is one more durable possibly?

Distributor spark plug connectors
The 1928-1929 cars apparently used a "straight" spark plug connector from the distributor to the spark plugs.

Re: good spark at plugs but no Henry jiggle
I am not sure of that.
I lost spark, swapped distributor out and now with a different distributor have spark but no Henry Jiggle.
Seems I used to have the Henry jiggle in past times.
