Topic: Round One to the Model A

[gerhed]

Have not run my 1930 Model A Ford for about 9 months.
Yesterday I decided it was time.
Cleaned plugs, new points,
new condenser (condenser mounting is diabolical on the "A").
Drained gas--refilled.
Cranked like a Mother--no start.
This is now a very dangerous time for both man and machine.
Man will try anything--no rational thought processes.
No spark.--feverish activity.
Nothing helps!
In and out of the car 19 times.
I'm tired now--It's getting dark.
Round one to the Model A.

Put a 12volt wiring harness in it along with a fuel injected small block chevy and it will run fine

Probably have to box the frame and put in
juice brakes, too.

Phil, oh, hell, just give up on it, its a lost cause, ship it out to me, I'll take care of it for you, that way you don't have to worry about it.

Just kidding, I always wanted a Model A, but who knows what the future will bring.

Peace and Long Rides,

Jeff

That thing has the spark advance on the steering column right?

and is it a magneto spark to that?

I've never really tinkered with one but my uncle restored one
when I was 10 or 12 or so, 1928 with a rumble seat.
I just remember bits and pieces of it.
