The Model A is a somewhat SIMPLE car.
Maybe we could share some SIMPLE ways that you all have found, to DIAGNOSE/REPAIR problems, in a SIMPLE/QUICK WAY:)

Indiana A...the only logical, honest answer. The cute joke responses are useless and getting old.

Re: Model a----a simple car
 

there has been a call for a serious answer so I can muster one up. I am not sure there are, in fact, always simple answers to repair issues to a very old car. we have repair issues that original owners and early used-car owners never faced, due to pure age. further, since they had access to factory parts, or high-quality NORS, they did not face the repro problems we contend with.
