Default Re: Centrifugal Advance

The endless debate over restoration vs. modification comes down to whether you see the car as an endpoint or a starting point. To my mind, a Model A, although not exactly broken, still just begs to be fixed. For example, when I'm driving around in town or running thru the gears, it just makes me feel good to think about the centrifugal advance doing its thing to make it run a bit better. The immense aftermarket-mods that immediately appeared for the A as well as the T tells me that my urges are "period correct." Or, maybe it's a genetic thing--I'm still not sure what all was done to my dad's Model A before it was even 9 years old.
