    head torque 1936 A

    Thanks a bunch for the info--yes, I installed the head gasket correctly, as I installed the previous one upside down (if you want coolant in your oil, do this). Yes, I used Permatex Copper Sealant on the head gasket. I will get the A good and warm/hot before I retorque.

    Magneto question

    I have a 1936 Model A and I currently don't have a magneto. Can one tell by looking (without having a magneto on hand) whether the magneto I need is a short or long lug? I looked inside the case where the mag fits in, and I saw the number "33" stamped on the piece that receives the magneto...
