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: 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: New Eaton Spring or re-arch existing
Eaton Detroit will give you a new spring and re-arching will give you a like new spring. Flip a coin. Of course rebuilding the original spring is dependent on its general condition.

Re: Beam from front to back
No need to be afraid of this combo. The oil is from grass grown in the soil and the turpentine is from trees grown in the same soil, or maybe close by.

Re: Beam from front to back
50/50 works well, it has odor until it dries out mostly from the solvent. Use boiled oil not raw. It soaks into the wood and hardens to the fibers of the wood. Try some on a piece of scrap and see...
