Re: - battery post
It is also prudent to remove and clean the battery ground cable where it attaches to the frame. It is out of sight and out of mind and difficult to get to. it is the most neglected electrical connection on a Model A. It is underneath the car where it is subject to harsh conditions. If it has not been cleaned in 10 years remove the battery to provide access; wire wheel the nut and bolt and the end of the cable, and clean the raised boss on the frame with something abrasive.
If you lose the ground connection the generator or alternator will run wild.
