Before the internet, books. Since 2000, all of the MTFCA forum experts have never failed me. Jim Patrick

T1 manual.
M Fahnestock service bulletins.
Google old MTFCA with subject.
General internet can screw you up but good. Lots of inexperienced fools with an ignorant opinion.

Re: Your source for information on the Model T?
I’ve been harvesting all my Model T advice, support and encouragement right here on the Forum since receiving my first T back in 1966....and that was 10 years before Algore invented the Internet !!
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people

Re: Your source for information on the Model T?
For mechanical repairs:
1. Model T Ford Service Manual,
2. Murray Fahenstock, "The Model T Ford Owner",
3. The Model Ford Service Bulletin Essentials,
4. MTFCA books.
For identifying cars & parts:
1. Bruce McCalley, "The Car That Changed the World".
2. Langs and Snyders sites.
For other general information:
1. Ford Instruction Book,
2. Page, "The Model T Ford Car".
3. The Vintage Ford.
And of course, this forum. Unless they're created by experienced Model T owners, I tend to keep clear of general internet searches because of the misinformation. For example, the various car sites and YouTube channels that consider the Model T difficult to drive, or claim they were only ever available in black.

Re: Your source for information on the Model T?
Most original books explain procedures to take it apart put it back together. Newer manual may have some specifications. Use the Internet to search the Forum (search words MTFCA). Youtube, https://modeltfordfix.com/, and almost all the books here http://www.cimorelli.com/mtdl/default.htm
then ASK THE FORUM
then ASK THE FORUM
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Some internet. There are some sites with good information, and there are some sites with a mixture of good information and foolish superstition.
