Re: French V8-60
Tony, ignition parts turn up regularly on the French eBay site. Much cheaper that way than buying them from a French vendor. I thought that I had kicked the Vedette habit, but I could be wrong.

Re: French V8-60
I also kept the pages from the Vedette shop manual that have to do with the engine. Will be glad to send you a copy if you end up working on the engine. All the specs are there.

That is how good the translator softwares are. "Alles Gute" means "all the best." You could say it for a birthday, too, but I don't know when his is.

Re: Engine in Matford Woodie
JM35, you are right. Until Ford sold out to Simca there were no significant changes in the engine. Even the last French Ford Vedettes, that looked like mini-'49s, used a basically unchanged 60...

The Matford uses an essentially unaltered Ford V8-60. Ford of France did not do much to change the basic 60 and it was only after the sale of Ford of France to Simca in 1954 that lots of mods...

Re: Ford V8-60
Hoop is right. An A with a V8-60 actually gets up and goes nicely. I had one in a '31 RPU and it had plenty of power. It is not a very hard installation to do.
