Classic/Antique Car Repair: Timing Settings, valve adjustments, model a ford


Question
I am restoring a 1930 Ford Model A.  I need the valve adjustments, timing, and the points gap.  Can you help with this or let me know where I can get a book (shops manual)

Answer
Are you in luck.  For about $35 there is a wonderful mechanics handbook for Model A's.  We all have it and use it.  get it from MARC, or any of the parts suppliers, such as Snyders, Bratton's etc. It is a red book called: Model A Ford Mechanic Handbook.  I don't recommend the Green book.  I think it is volume two.
Let me know if you need any more info.
