I have a Model A that was last tuned up in 2001. I have replaced the spark plugs twice since than, but have not touched the timing. Car is driven around 200 miles per year.

Enjoy.
200 miles a year for 20 years is a grand 4,000 miles and you've replaced the plugs twice????
I use the cheapest TT10 plugs and they have done about 50,000 hard miles in my Tourer. I can still get the same economy figures out of it as I did when they were new and I cannot notice a decrease in power or anything else.
IMO, in these engines a set of plugs is a lifetime proposition and as for tuning, I ask WHY?
