    Well, just saw that @squirrel got a T model Ford. I picked this up last year and it has been for sure a revelation into early speed equipment. Heck, up until the advent of the automobile horses were bred and raced for speed. The Chevrolet Brothers made their Frontenac head for the model T IMG_20191016_113434407.jpeg IMG_20191016_113742499.jpeg IMG_20191012_182320643.jpeg

    It has RAJO head. Joe Jagerburger raced for the JI Case company and lost a leg in a related incident. As a result he formed a manufacturing company in Racine, Wisconsin and made various auto related items. He combined RA cine with JO e.. for RAJO. The RAJO head on this 1918 T flattens the hills.

    So,
    Model T's are different in many ways one in that the ignition timing happens in the coil. I rebuilt the coils and found out that you MUST have a good capacitor or you cannot time the coil. Starts and runs so much better with properly timed coils. I can't locate the photos of the coil rebuild at the moment, but I'll post photos when I do
