Re: brass Ford script plate ID
Notice the "made in USA" uses two different size stamps AND the "S" is printed upside-down. Not at all Ford quality! LRF

Re: Tail light Wiring
Find the engine number and look for the stamped date that is on the left side of the fire wall under the hood. I think it's stamped on the upper part of the two piece fire wall. LRF

Re: Tail light Wiring
Can you tell us the year of this "A"? The oil dip stick suggests an earlier '28? Maybe you have that rare E-28 switch, I don't know, I own '30s. LRF

Re: Distributor Locking Screw, HELP!
And don't over tighten the screw that pushes against the distributor, it can crack the base of the distributor, the jam-nut will hold the screw in place. LRF

Re: Prices going through the roof?
Let's see; an interior is $5000, a paint job is $5000, an engine is $5000. So a $20,000 Model A is $5000 for the completed body, fenders, etc. Suddenly, it's seems that that $20000 is a deal! IMO. LRF
