    Having been around Model T's my entire life (took my drivers test in a 1921 Model T Roadster in 1992 at age 16), I have to admit I was worried when I saw your first video. Many times I've seen folks 'get into Model T's' only to be daunted by how unfamiliar they are with them. It isn't that they are complex, they're just different from modern cars in a very simplified way. However, you stuck with it and got her running. And not just running using modern parts (lawnmower carb and distributor swap), but using the coils / timer and magneto as well! Well done sir! Subscribed!

    Random thoughts on your magnificent restoration -- nowadays the Model T is a metaphor for simplicity but there was nothing simple about it. The sophistication needed to design and build this car a hundred years ago bowls me over. Also knocked out by the quality of the original build in terms of engineering, sizing of parts, durability, etc. I am learning from your perseverance and ability to easily show us you got something wrong the first time. The car must be a complete pain in the butt at times but I can't even begin to imagine the satisfaction you are getting in making it all work. Finally, I know this is a silent build but while others have waited to hear it run, I am waiting to hear the horn.

    very nice job. This engine is running nicely!
    To make a cold start, adjust the mixture to "rich" (don't overturn)
    Advance lever "up"
    Short "choke" while using the starter-motor.
    Once the engine is running for a few minutes, adjust the mixture (and not immediately the advance).
    That's what my Pa told me (a very long time ago)

    Good job. Craftsman. One of my brothers owned a Model T. I was pretty small in early 40's, he was driving very slow and my other brother and I wer piled into and on the T. I was standing on one running board and thought I could run that fast. Jumped to the ground and momentum almost taught me a lesson when my feet hit the ground and then my head hit the ground shortly thereafter. Didn't learn anything, because I tried it again 20 years later while inebriated and almost died from the concussion.
