If you are new to Model A's and want a great way to learn hands on may I suggest you get an old lawn mower motor (old - NO overhead valves) and take the head off, take the side off and watch and play with it. The Model A engine is basically the same except with four cylinders. You can learn about timing, spark, compression, valves, splash oiling etc. Just a suggestion if you are new.
