Default Re: Helping out a young newbie model A owner later today

What people who don't know what they're doing can do is startling, and sometimes funny. An inexperienced newby brought his new A over because it wasn't running right, and he was pretty discouraged. His fuel line had two inline filters and some kind of home-made copper gas line. That was an obvious and easy fix. But the startling feature was a 32 distributor installed 180 degrees out. I admit I missed that because I know nothing from 32s, but another friend spotted it right away. Tried to make the 32 work but finally ended up putting a correct A distributor in. Car runs beautifully now, owner is happy again.
