Re: we did it... our first Model A...
okay, Margarethe and i had our first problem. She didn't want to start, smell of fuel was there but no ignition. I had a long, hard think about it and i assumed that it must be the distributor. What did i find? No connection between the distributor cover and the plate below it. See photographs. Worn and used up metal in 91 years? The new distributor is ordered and the tdmporary fix is a bit of copper grease on top the metal lid and under the cover, giving better connection between the two parts.
Should this little dab of copper grease be part of the routine service work?
