Re: 1927 Ford paint question

The satin finish is because they did not polish the lacquer. They also did that on the model A trucks, as a way of keeping costs down.

Re: Business coupe oval windows?

I doubt yours are correct for a Ford A. See Quote for correct size. Thank you 700rpm.

Re: Second gear

Do you double clutch? Patience also is a virtue when shifting a Model A Ford.

Re: spark plugs

Ditto on finding the cause of the fouling as the plug is not the villain.

Re: Break-in gone wrong!

If there was no oil circulating I would look to the pump being defective as it should pump more oil than would be expelled through a missing plug.

Re: Break-in gone wrong!

If that is the case I doubt anything has been damaged by 0 oil pressure as oil was still circulating.

Re: '32 AAB progress report

Re: Finding a nice Model A

I would bet many As were sold as black. Black was a common car color that was easily touched up when needed.

Re: New Eaton Spring or re-arch existing

I guess it is who does the work. I had very good luck doing my saggy '66 Mustang rears. I had them work them up so I had 1" over stock height at the bumper, and just a bit stiffer to aid cornering....

Re: Value of an Un-Restored Model A Engine

I think it would boost the value by 100% or so.
