That upper hose looks like it’s flexible. I’ve been looking for one to reduce the stress on the radiator inlet.

Nice!! I like your little Coupe good looking car!!

Do the basics as the guys here said, and the more you can drive it around the better it will run I'm sure

A hot rod AND a Model A...yep I can relate.
That's a very nice looking A you got there, I enjoy driving both, and so will you.

Yeah the T-bucket is mine, the gold Roadster was built for my daughter (Cancer Survivor), and the DuneBuggy her and I built together after she was finished with her Chemo treatments.

Got her fired up and running smoothly. Adjusted the timing on the distributor with a test lamp, put in fresh gas, cleaned the plugs and she fired right up. Drove it around the block a couple of times and the longer it runs, the smoother it gets. Still has an intermittent “pop” every now and then, but over all I’m very happy. Battery is on it’s last leg, so I’ll get a new one this weekend and just start enjoying her.
