This can happen with 6 volt ..............if the timing isn't retarded on starting! That lever on the left side of the steering column. Or if the base timing is to advanced.

Doug I've been reading your past post trying to help your problem with Trudy on you first 15 mile drive. I'am thinking Trudy's black goo coming from the plugs is due to improper operation of the engine controls. I will suggest getting an owners manual for operating your A, I purchased a repop Ford Model "A" instruction book for a little $ ! Enjoy driving Trudy !
