Just changed the oil in anticipation of trying to get my Grand Dad's old A started. Manual says 11 quarts. Well I have put in over 12 and nothing is coming out of the hole on the side. Does it have to be started to move the oil around? Worried about overfilling.
Tried to start it but no go. It appears that the coil wire is really corroded and I will need to replace the cap and points. Ordering that and some plug wires. The current plugs are Champion D-16. Don't know if they still make that model as I have not looked yet.
One other question. In attempting to start it, it looks like fuel was leaking out of the manifold connection to the head. Guessing I have it flooded so I took out the plugs.
Good news is it turns over, seems a little slow but last I saw it run was probably 25 years ago.
