Need help finding Keyed Locks
Hello to everyone, where can I obtain a set of 3 key matched locks for doors and trunk lid? the car is a model A 1930 cpe . I've searched the hardware stores
and can only find single units where the keys aren't interchangeable I would need to carry 3 keys in this case. the car is not "show quality" and any ideas
for locking will be greatly appreciated.

I just pull all the tumblers out and chuck 'em! Nobody knows the difference, and any key that fits the slot will open them. Just don't tell anybody!

Don't the A suppliers sell them, Like Bratton's or Snyder's? Have you perused Fordbarn? You local A club should have a gaggle of old hoarders that are good to know, unless you are a hotrodder.lol
I got in good with them by just hanging out and doing stuff most of them couldn't figure out, (just 'cuz their old doesn't make them handy)

I got a set of matching door handles from George Moires in Stoney Plain Alberta ( Canada) for my '31 Model A. He doesn't have a web site but always answers his phone.

He usually ships the same day and I have it by morning. He knows his stuff and has a great catalog.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
