Re: My 1930 Model A
Welcome to the family of Model A owners - What a great find!
If you don't have a copy already, it would be a good first reference book to purchase - Model A Ford Mechanics Handbood by Les Andrews
My first step would be to drop and clean the oil pan. There is a windage tray that does not drain during a regular oil change. There's no telling what has collected there since the last oil service.
While you're dropping the pan, remove the spark plugs and put a couple of tablespoons of ATF or Marvel Mystery Oil to help loosen stuck rings/pistons.
Remove the valve cover and clean out any debris that may be collected in there.
You may find everything clean as a whistle but knowing is always better than not knowing.
