I used to get the same thing when I changed cam sensor on modem fuel injector system. They came with a plastic tool for setting to # 1 cylinder. I through it away. I put thousands of distributors in and know where # 1. Is.You don’t have to put the engine at TDC. When pull the cam sensor drive out, the distributor shaft will turn 37 on a Ford Vulcan 3.0 L. Just visually look where it was pointing when you started. The car has adaptive strategy built in the computer. If you really needed to know for sure, you could back probe the connector install a pico scope and dial it in perfect. Point is if it was right when you took it out it’ll be right when you put it back 37° turn and it’s pointing at what you saw when you took it out. When you know you know.

I strongly caution people about buying a Model A that way. I did mention it in the video. Always buy a Model A in person, or at the very least, have a person you know go see the car in person- like I did for this guy- kzitem.info/news/bejne/k6qLnIyVrXmFqZw

I like them original patina but well done interior and sound mechanical, if I can. We have the Borderland A's here and I will join, and have talked to these guys often , at events.

Go for it! Have you been in touch with Rick Black yet? He lives in the same town as you and is a friend of mine. Rick knows a LOT about Model As and has the heart of a teacher. What is best for you depends a lot on your size. If you're tall, or have some girth, avoid the 28/29 roadsters and roaster pickups!! Tina did a whole video on Model A interior dimensions and shows what works and doesn't work depending on your size.

Thanks for your great videos, your so helpfull. I understand that the float needs to be as equal as the carb base but if your going to error is it ok to error on the "less gas in the bowl" way? In my understanding, less gas in the bowl, less chance the car will stall on hard braking witch mine does that so Im always playing with the throtle arm to keep the reves up when slowing down so it wont stall. I hope you understand my question. Keep up the exelent work mr Paul.

I am also curious about this. I have 2 rebuilt zenith carbs that stall out on abrubt stops. also the bottom towards the center rear is always drenched with gas an hour or 2 after parking it. Both have new float needles so I know that works.

How nice and simple. Not like rebuilding computer-controlled carburetors of the 1980s with many special tools and adjustments that no one but factory-trained technicians did correctly. I always felt sorry for the customers who paid good money and their cars still did not run right due to untrained mechanics working on their cars. Thanks for the video, Paul, and Happy Thanksgiving, Mike
