You are wlecome. Many vendors sell A parts, but not all of them sell good parts. I noticed you are from Ca. so maybe Sacramento Valley Ford would be closer for you. I do not have their contact info, but it should not be hard to find. I buy most of my parts from Bert's Model A Ford Center in Denver (800-321-1931). The wiring harness for the basic ingition is not high priced and makes it alot simpler. I would also suggest you buy the battery cable also as 6 volts likes fine strand wires as opposed to the thicker strands of 12 volt cables. Dont forget a new grommet for the ignition cable either, I left it out on mine when I was in a hurry to rewire it and get it fired up. Ruined my wiring, filled the shop with smoke and melted my terminal box, so did not make for a good day in the shop. Luckily I had replacements on hand and fired it up later that day with the grommet in place. Its not high priced and good insurance for a couple of dollars. Rod
