We stopped in at a local antiques shop this evening, and I found a bucket full of odd tools with very cheap prices. I came home with a KD valve spring compressor for a Ford Model A engine, and a nice hand crank Souix Co. valve lapping tool. That little lapping tool will be great on some of the old Briggs motors. Pics soon.
Now If I just had a Model A.......

I have some flathead Ford valve tools myself (from my Dad). Someday, I'll restore them for display.

Nothing wrong with a Model A!
My barber is the president of the local Ford Model A club and he's always pushing me to come to a meeting.

If I had an A, it would have to be a Speedster (see below).

I've got several of those for a Model A...from back when I had a Model A.....and tools for adjusting timing, removing bezel for fuel gauge (you guys have no idea what you've missed!), and even somewhere I think I still have some Model A chains.....I know I have the 9/16 square socket for the main bolts.....
I've got valve grinding adaptors for flathead V8's....guide removal drivers (one or two that fit around the head of the valve and wrap around the stem), guide forks, two types of adjustable lifter holders, just used a lot of those putting my engine's valve train together.
