Re: Running on 3 1/2
I use my trucks around my place. I'm a Seattle native who raised 4 kids here on Orcas Island in the Puget Sound. I arrived here in '76, bought my 5 acres in '78. Paid 18 grand, busted out the chain saw and ended up with a nice water view! Bought 5 more acres later and been grinding away ever since. I think I had forgotten how special the Model A is to me. I have been in the FH V8s for so long, but now that I'm less flexible the easy reach of parts is so great on the A! And with no fenders I just stand there and mess with the carb, dist and starter etc., God knows this one needs a lot of that. Tomorrow being Saturday I hope to dig into this weak #4 cyl and get it sorted out. I got a manifold gasket number from remflex for the model A. Without looking it up it's a 3040 part number. Most aftermarket folks like summit have a prefix... I think it's rfl3040. If anyone can link this it would be helpful. Thanks.
