This, in my opinion, has been crucial to my experience as a Model A owner.

There is NO SUBSTITUTE for the knowledge (and parts) in your local club. Online has many pitfalls. A "my new to me Model A quit" question will have you doing everything from rewiring the entire car to rebuilding the engine when in reality you just forgot to turn on the gas or key.....
The MAFCA index is a tool you can use combined with past issues. The problem arises in finding the articles. They sell a memory stick with the first 50 years of the Restorer but we're in what the 66th or 67th year now? Basically you'll be missing about 20 years of info.
