FWIW: For often reported future Model A problems in general:

Lots of times, Model A owners have a Model A that's been sitting for quite a few years where they were formerly maintained with cheap, foreign Model A parts from the 1950's, (some from J.C. Whitney and others where points and condensers sold for only 00.15 each), prior to today's Model A modern parts suppliers.

If these cheap substandard parts are not removed and provided with some of the better than 1950's new modern Model A parts of today, Model A engine problems will always be a possible mystery.
