Re: What books on the A for a newbie?
First off understand you should not just trust the books to be correct. Verify all the information.
You should take time to understand the how and why of Ford's engineering and manufacturing of the A. There is an interesting discussion in 'Fordlandia' which is mostly about the Ford rubber plantation. But there is a discussion on the A factory opening delay because they needed to solve some high accuracy manufacturing issue.
The book 'The Legendary Model A Ford' gives a picture on how the A was actually driven when it was new.
It is wise to collect factory prints for parts that sometimes get posted on these boards. They help you sort out the wrong parts of the 'shop manuals'.
