Re: Lift points - Model A
Looking at the lean in those extensions they must not be very rigid.

Re: Cracked Block Options
Another endorsement for the JB Weld. I repaired a Ford 8n tractor block 20 years ago and its still good.
I've also had good luck with Bar's leak tablets.

Re: Dial back inaccurate
