Re: Tips For Model A's
Read, read, and read.
It’s cheap and easy, and also gives you a great insight into what others have done or tried, no use reinventing the wheel.
I have lots of Model A books, some gifts and some I purchased and when I have some time I go through them. Some like “Tiny Tips” and “Model A Miseries and cures” are full of nuggets of knowledge.
When you finally get to the work most practical knowledge can be gleaned here, folks here can sure fill in the blanks and help you out.
Best tip is when you change heads, engines, radiators, water pumps, hoses, or anything else to do with the cooling system, put a nylon stocking around the top radiator hose and let it filter the water coming from the head into the radiator.
The amount of stuff you get away from the radiator will be amazing and will diminish after a while. Change or clean the stocking every little while and when it no longer is catching gunk you can discard it altogether.
Small ideas can make a huge difference,
