IMHO a lot of the things on your list are not counter intuitive, they're just good ideas.

Hmmm... I’ve had problems with stuck spark plugs on other old cars. That’s the reason I listed that one. My Model A is in good shape, and I haven’t had issues with anything stuck except the distributor so far. On a recent Model A work day, we gave up on a distributor after some folks banged and pried on that car’s distributor for several hours. I’m surprised that didn’t break off the distributor collar in the head.

I agree some of the current list items are not necessarily counter intuitive. The original list started out as counter intuitive items, and I’ve added other things that I have learned as a newbie that seem to be useful to pass on to other newbies.

There is a LOT of knowledge on this forum. It would be nice to consolidate at least summaries of common questions/issues into a single place.
