Re: cold weather start
Back in the '50s I've started Model As as low as 20 below, maybe colder, it's a long way back to remember.
You say you started it at 10°F, I hope you had #10 or 10-30 or thinner oil in it. Anything thicker and you risk damaging rod and possibly main bearings. W/the dipper oil system for the rods thicker oil just doesn't get into the bearings fast enough for proper lubrication.
