ursus,

The presence of the oiler is have a place to add (and store) oil as it is gradually fed to the bushing. I guess you are unaware of porous bronze bushings. How would you have done it differently knowing that you needed a constant source of oil to feed the porous bushing?

Like a lot of things on a Model B engine, the distributor is a big improvement. Your question is fair, but I would add why did they wait to move the condenser when its Model A location is clearly inferior to that of the B condenser location?
