And in 20 or 30 years it will be worth nothing, because every one will ask "who is Ed Roth"? All collectibles are cyclical, baseball card's that...
Braton's Antique Auto Part's, www.brattons.com has an Electronic Centrifugal Advance Distributor for Model A's PN 17080, 6V. and PN 17090 for 12V....

Proof is everything! Back in the early 2000s my wife and I were at Barrett Jackson, Scottsdale. We were looking at the outdoor exhibits when we...

I can't say what the Lady is from, but the cap that it's mounted on is 1928-1929 Model A Ford. You might have better results on the A.A.C.A. site....

As others have mentioned DRIVE IT. I can't tell you how many people I know build these mega HP motors and don't drive it because the gas milage...
All depends what you want in a car. If you are building a "trailer queen" and all you do is put it in the trailer to and from a car show, because...
If you want to reduce the structural integrity of an "I" beam, remove one of the webs. I wouldn't trust it. Do you know what that piece is and...

By the looks of the cotter-pins someone has been in the motor already. Probably to pull out a shim to tighten up the motor. Model A's are probably...
