[Ernie Vitucci]

Hello...Marshall is correct if you have several thousand dollars to put into an engine. If not, talk to the two National Model A Clubs, The Model A Restorers Club of America and the Model A Ford Club. Both can be found on line. Ask them for the local club in your area and join. Most clubs have an 'engine guy'. Most clubs will help a new member get their Model A running...even if it is an older tired car or engine. Often this is a workable approach...better than the car sitting year after year and getting worse all the time. Depending on the amount of pitting and a bit of honing of the cylindar wall of that cylindar new rings and a good tune up...The old girl might go to the hardware store, the market, to get a haircut...Saturday Breakfast. Enough to let you decide how much you like the car. Also, an A that is running, is worth more than one that is not running. Give it fresh oil, flush the radiator, get help to adjust the brakes from a club member and begin to make friends with the old girl. You will either fall in love wtih her or you will sell her to someone who will take her under their wing...Just my thoughts, Ernie in Ariona.
