Moto-Meter
The Tire Dealer — Doug Freeman
Well, I have to keep these rambling for this month to 543 words so it
will fit on one page, according to our Editor-in-Chief. I guess last
month’s column was a little too wordy. Ahh, it is hard when you are so
gifted and the words just pour out of you………..
At the next board meeting (it will have already been held when you
read this) we will be discussing the adoption of “MAFCA Waiver,
Indemnification Release Agreement” for members to sign to attend
driving tours. It has been suggested by MAFCA to use this form and
according to the National President, it will be mandatory for all chapters
in 2014. Yes, we all signed a “Liability Release” that came with our dues
renewal notice at the first of this year, but the MAFCA one was yet to be
created. Details at the next regular meeting on how this will all work….I
hope.
This issue of the Moto-meter should be in your hands/
computer before the August 7 , which is the due date of the
number of members going on the Anniversary Tour to Rossmoor. Call me if you want to go: 925-682-6819.
Speaking of your board, we must find at least three members to fill the
board vacancies for next year. We will be looking for a treasurer, a secretary and a vice president. Now, for the last few years, it has been like
pulling teeth to get a full slate to run. Yes, you’re suppose to attend
board meeting each month, but the “goodies” at the end of the
meetings are sure worth it! The treasurer does most of the banking stuff
on the computer; the secretary takes minutes at both the board and
general meeting, but there is an agenda that he/she keeps notes on;
and the vice president has the camera and keeps the photo gallery up
dated. A Jolly good time is had by all. Let’s have some willing
volunteer’s this season and not go right up to the dead line!
Eight little words……….”Let’s clean her up and get her running.” Those
eight little words are so easy to say and they just slide right off your
tongue and they sound so simple.
A couple of years ago I received a call from a longtime friend who I
hadn’t heard from in a while. We had retired and got up in the retirement process; he was selling his house and moving to an adult
community and I finishing front yard landscaping, shed building and a
whole house renovation.
Reyanne and I had just finished the renovations and my good friend
wanted me to go look at one of his Model A’s that had some storage
fees building up against it. The car had been given to a family member,
but the 2008 economic down turn had force the abandonment of the
car at a tire shop.
A few days later we went to look at the car and see if it was worth
salvaging or letting it go for storage. We met the owner of the tire shop
and as we walked toward the car he said “you know that it was in a fire
a couple of years ago and it has a blown head gasket.”

Elsie Boarman
The ice Cream “social” meeting was a huge success.
Mike Ferre brought his “soon to be 14” grandson Clayton Runyon
and Adell Kirk brought her two grandchildren, visiting her from
Georgia. Ed James made special cookies with “Hub Caps” made of
chocolate frosting with “Ford” printed on them. Ed has a new
vocation in his “spare” time, he is make jewelry. Silver earrings
and charms on a necklace charm with Model A parts as design. I
recognized step plates and what looked like a crank, maybe not.
I went to our Pleasant Hill 4th of July parade and was happy
to see Charlie Piazza driving his Sedan and Harold Hall and
Imogene driving his green pickup truck. In spite of Pete’s back
pain, he and Marianne were able to attend their 10th “3rd of July”
Benicia parade with the Diablo A’s.
At the ice cream meeting Bill showed a film of the Lakeport
meet, all the entertainment and dancing. Because we were all
socializing & eating ice cream & cookies we could not hear much
of the tape. I hope it can be shown either before or after a regular
meeting so we can all enjoy watching Diablo A’ers doing the
chicken dance since many of the participants were not at the meeting.
Ladies, check your cupboards & closets for sale items for the
“Ladies Auction” night October 18 meeting.
Pam Lee is home after her knee surgery
July 17. She is recuperating slowly.
Pete Goodson had spinal surgery July 22. He
is home now recuperating. Please keep Pam &
Pete in your prayers and thoughts. Cards and
calls are very much appreciated.
Looking forward to the Presidents Picnic Saturday August 17.
See you at the August Meeting.
Happy A’ing, Elsie

Sept. 27-29 —Apple Hill Meet, By Hangtown A’s
For more information contact Tour Leaders, Herb & Marilyn Neumann— If you joined the Diablo A's in the past 2 years and
haven't taken your car on an overnight tour yet: now that you have had your car checked out and its roadworthy, you should look
into the Hangtown A's event the end of Sept. It's a great event with tours in the Placerville area with lots of things to see and do. The
end of Sept is a few weeks ahead of the Apple Hill pie season so the roads shouldn't be too crowded and the weather is still mild. The
Hangtown A's have lots of things planned for the weekend. For more information on the weekend event, Steve has posted the entry
form on the Diablo A's website. Give this some thought. I'm sure you'll have a great time. The best part is
you can get there by driving some great back roads.

Diablo A’s General Membership Meeting
July 19, 2013
Meeting was called to order by President Doug Freeman at 7:40pm.
We enjoyed the delicious assortment of ice cream, toppings, and
cookies before the meeting. We especially enjoyed Ed James’ delicious homemade sugar cookies dipped in chocolate and formed to
resemble the Model A Ford hubcap, complete with the Ford logo.
And Bob Grady’s homemade peach ice cream was a huge hit as always. During the ice cream social, we also enjoyed seeing the video

County A’s 19th Spring Opener held in Upper Lake in May.

under the point rubbing block to open the points fully.
Carefully measure the point gap and adjust to .020". Now
rotate the engine 180° with the crank, rotating the cam to
the next lobe. Carefully measure the point gap and note
and variance from your original setting. Repeat the process
twice more until all four lobes have been checked. They
should all be identical but often vary. If they vary, readjust
the points to average .020" until proper repairs can be
made.
Be certain the point contacts are properly aligned
and square. Remove the breaker plate and adjust if required.

Introduction - Timing the Model 'A' Ford is a
subject frequently covered over the years. Every version
I've read is either more complex than necessary, or too inaccurate. The following method is not only quick and simple, but probably more accurate than Ford expected.
Preliminaries - Before adjusting the timing some
basic distributor checks are in order. With everything assembled check the travel of the spark advance relative to
the opening in the side of the distributor body. The protruding lever should be against one wall of the opening
with the lever down and against the other wall with the
lever up. Adjust or bend the linkages as required. This will
insure full use of the advance for maximum performance.
Prepare to adjust the points by removing the distributor cap, body, and rotor. Grasp the distributor cam

Model 'A' Ignition Timing - Making It Right
Cals’ Garage—Continued
with Alex and Bob
The tip should not be so sharp as to scribe the timing gear
while locating the mark.
Adjusting the breaker points - If you've followed
the guidelines above you are ready to move on. If not, adjust the points now. The points must always be adjusted
prior to the ignition timing! Reducing the point gap subsequent to timing adjustment (or any other time) retards the
timing. Conversely, enlarging the gap will advance the timing.
Setting the Timing -Finally to the heart of the
matter!
1.Use the timing pin to locate TDC of number one.
This is the only accurate method short of a long drawn out
process with a dial indicator. Other methods will only get
you within 5-10 degrees without some extra luck.
2.With the distributor body installed, raise or retard the spark lever on the steering column to the top of it's
travel. This is done in case the distributor body limits the
rotation of the breaker plate.
3.Loosen the cam screw and rotate the cam into
position ready to open the points for #1 as shown in the
following illustration. If the cam seems excessively sticky
on the shaft then use the rotor to turn it.
Direction of Rotation
ing the screwdriver at the cam screw, turn it clockwise as if tightening the screw. The SLIGHTEST movement of the screwdriver and
cam in the opposite (counter clockwise) direction should clearly
spark the points. If the points won't spark the setting is too tight and
too advanced and the points aren't closing. If there is any noticeable
movement of the cam before the spark then the setting is too far retarded. Don't forget to turn off the ignition. Leaving it on with the
points closed may result in a dead battery or burned out coil!
The actual timing sequence is short and simple. With a little practice the points can be changed and set, and the timing set accurately
in two to five minutes.
Additional Tips
1.If the car has been running, locate TDC with the timing pin
before loosening the cam or removing the rotor. This will allow the
use of the rotor to let you know you are approaching #1.
2.Eliminate the problem of cylinder compression turning the
engine past the timing mark. As you feel the compression build
while approaching #1, pause and let the pressure bleed out of the
cylinder.
3.The installed total length of the spark control rod (linkage) is
17-7/16". With a two tooth Gemmer steering box you may need to
adjust the linkage by loosening the lower column tube clamp and
upper support clamp and twisting the column tube in the appropriate
direction.
4.Get a large "stubby" screwdriver that fits snug in the cam
screw. This will improve sensitivity for checking the motion and
spark.
5.FORGET ABOUT DWELL. If your cam is bad enough that
it won't provide adequate dwell, it will likely show problems in
other areas such as different size lobes. You may have your distributor fine tuned in every other way and want to experiment. Try timing
the car with the points set at .018". This will increase the dwell and
coil saturation time. See if there is any noticeable difference at high
speeds. It won't make any difference at low and moderate speeds.
But remember you will need to check for wear on the point block
more frequently!
6.Once the timing is accurately set it doesn't need to done again
until the distributor is serviced and the cam removed such as required when changing original points.
7.Always oil the distributor when checking the points or performing any other service.
This image shows the distributor cam in position ready for
the points to break on #1. Tightening the screw to lock the
cam removes the backlash in the gears and shafts, and prepares the cam to open or break the points at the slightest
rotational move of the crankshaft.
4.Begin tightening the screw. This removes the backlash in the
system and the cam should remain as close to touching the rubbing
block on the points as possible without opening the points. This may
require multiple efforts to get it ideally positioned.
5.The final check is to simply turn on the ignition switch. Us-

Precious
Moments
1929 Model “A” Ford –
Briggs Town Deluxe Sedan
By Owner, Larry Anderson
Charter Docent Blackhawk Automobile Museum
I acquired this wonderful car in 1954, when I
was a young 17-year-old and a senior at Acalanes High School in Lafayette. One day I spotted the car behind a local gas station. It was
painted black, filthy and in mud up to its axles.
(My parents had a Model “A” when I was
younger and that was the car I learned to drive
on. So having my own Model “A” meant a lot
to me.)
I asked the
service station
owner if the
car was for
sale and he
said, no! But I
persisted and
kept going
back and
eventually he
agreed to sell
me the car.
Then I got really nervous as I was afraid to ask
the price - I had no money to spend on a car! I
then asked, “How much? He thought awhile
then said he wanted $25.
Unfortunately, I did not have $25, so I asked a
friend to go in with me for $12.50 each. We
bought the car and drove it out of the mud
and away. (I bought my friend out later for the
$12.50 he originally paid.) And I am proud to
say I have had the car ever since. I fondly call
her “Daisy.” She is a 1929 Briggs Town, Deluxe
Four-Door Sedan.
Restoration: During 1976-1977 I restored the
car to original specifications including color
choices available in 1929 for this model.
11
The Model “A” originally sold new for approximately $695. The car has a 200 cubic inch
4 cylinder engine – 40 horsepower – 3 speed
standard manual transmission – non synchromesh – 4 wheel mechanical brakes, 6 volt
battery – 21 inch tires and mohair upholstery,
with rear pull-down tasseled shades.
The Model “A” was built in 1928 until 1931.
Almost 5 million were produced during these
four years and more people collect and own
more Model “A”s than any other car in the
world. The survival rate is the highest of any car
ever produced.
Many thanks to Henry Ford. I love this car!

Stated vs. Agreed Value: The Insurance Trap Owners Must Learn
to Avoid
Owners of classic or collectible cars often find themselves in something of an
adversarial relationship with their insurance companies. Many new owners of specialty cars simply
tack the vehicle on their regular coverage only to
find out, generally when they file a claim, that to
their insurer that beloved beauty is just an old car
with a low Blue Book value.
The best avenue for owners of truly special machines is to go with one of the classic car insurance companies like Hagerty, Grundy, or American Collectors Insurance. Regardless of the insurer
used, however, the owner must be prepared to
negotiate from a position of knowledge, both
about the automobile itself and about to types of
insurance coverage, "stated value" and "agreed
value." Both carry distinct advantages and disadvantages.
Stated Value Policies
Stated value coverage pays the cost of repair
to the car or the stated value of the car, whichever
is less, at the time that a claim is filed. There are a
number of problems with this type of policy:
 The stated value is actually used only to determine the premium level. The higher the stated
value, the higher the premium.
 In the event of a claim, the language of the
contract allows the insurer to set an actual cash
value instead of paying the stated amount as
the insured party was given to believe.
17
Continued on page 18
Continued—From the Mailbox
Essentially, the company accepts the owner's
stated value at the time the policy is issued, but
does not issue any formal agreement with that
value in the event of a claim. This gives them considerable leeway in honoring the benefits of the
coverage. It's a rule of thumb in insurance that the
company will always pay the least amount possible.

 1931 Briggs Town Sedan—$22,000. Shep Shepard,
(707) 762-2605, Petaluma, CA
Agreed Value Policies
Agreed value guarantees a set amount of
coverage agreed upon at the time the policy was
issued and is generally accepted as the best position for the owners of classics, unique, or highly
modified vehicles. It carries a number of advantages:
 Allows the driver to secure and present a professional appraisal of the vehicle that they accept as a valid representation of its worth.
 Unlike standard insurance, the value of your
car does no depreciate over the life of the
policy.
 Is the only type of coverage that guarantees
the owners will be paid in full in the event of a
loss.
Obviously agreed value is the prime position.
By going with a classic or specialty car insurer, the
driver may have to accept some limitation on
driving time, but most of these companies are
generous with their leisure driving allowances, especially if the car is well-protected and maintained. Insurance companies like to know a car is
securely garaged and protected by anti-theft devices.
By being a knowledgeable negotiator and
getting at least three comparison quotes, classic
and specialty car owners can find coverage that
is both comprehensive and affordable. The trick is
to go with a company that appreciates the vehicle's intrinsic value from the start and that specializes in writing unique insurance product.
