A different take:

First, buy Model "A" Ford Mechanics Handbook - Vol. 1 by Les Andrews.

Second, don't buy a wiring harness (yet). It does NOT contain any of the wiring needed to make the car run. It only feeds the lights.

There are several wire "sets" (available from vendors) that allow the engine to run.

Before you fire it up for the first time..drain the oil, replace the plug, remove the distributor and shaft, pour 1 Qt. oil down dist. shaft hole, install dist., finish filling crankcase with oil.
