Sometimes this can be a rough crowd and some may not know the best way to post response to your question, but most are here to help. Generation gap? Ya........... But since you are only 22, you got a long way to go. Dont let it bother you. Good luck with your project.

Couldn't agree more with ZZ Legend. Just keep working on getting that "A" to be a running and dependable car. Soak up the good advise you can get on this site and ignore the occasional sarcasm.

When you get things straigtened out with the car please be sure to let us know how the problems were resolved.

Thanks!

Not only are people here to help but they are here to learn as well. That's why I think it's important to let everyone know your progress. What worked what didn't. Keep at it.

My tank had a lot of junk in it. I bought a little filter that goes on top of the shut off valve. It raises the gas level in the tank and keeps the rust flakes from going to the carb (a stand pipe). I run an inline filter plus the original sediment bowl. The inline filter is a see through plastic one. When it gets brown I change it. I carry an extra flter in the car.

The car would back fire and run poorly when I first started driving it. I did not realize that it was running too lean.

Some day some one will make new model "A" gas tanks. I think they will sell. If some body has a source let me know.

Do not get me started on the stupidity of ethanol. I think one of the monitors is from Iowa and he will delete the thread.

Do you know what the problem was with it not getting any fire to the plugs? We all would like an answer and what ever you do put an in the line fuel filter on it, that rust and stuff out of the gasoline tank is gonna cause you more trouble ,just watch the new filter for discoloration.
