I am new to the Model A world and need help timing and fine tuning my truck. It drives but not as well at speed as it should. The local A club meets on Monday nights, and that is a night I can never go because of family.
Any help in the area would be appreciated.

Clem,
I can’t get on this site. It said I don’t have the right pass word. So if you will send this to him and we can go from that point. When are you coming back out this way?
