Boy O boy we must have been a bunch of idiots back in the forties. We drove stock model A's. Put in gasoline and had a ball. Today you might think the model A is supposed to be launched next week at Cape Kennedy. Enjoy it for what it is, an old car restored as a project to be proud of. I never heard of flo testing, might get you 500 feet more per gallon. Overdrive which you cannot use in hilly country and could buy a lot of gasoline for the outlay. LED lights, most never drive at night. High compression heads are they really that important. Stainless steel mufflers what was wrong with the $55.00 mufflers that everyone at that time was happy with? Now it's a mortal sin to use one. Well I guess I stirred the pot enough for one day. All the above venting is something that made me feel good. Throw it at me now.
