Steve,
If I may interject a comment here. The term "AR" usually refers to the very early Model A production cars. (The best description of this is in the "Model A Judging Standards and Restoration Guidelines" published jointly by the two national clubs and available from most A suppliers.) The first 1000 or so. There are items on these cars that don't necessarily fit or go with the later '28 production cars. One of the significant items is the wheels. The "AR" wheels have a different hub that doesn't match with the "later" brake drums. This is brought out in the "Model A Service Bulletins" and warns against using the earlier wheels on the later drums. You might want to check this out before getting wheels. "B" is the four cylinder car produced in 1932 as the low cost alternative to the new V-8. It had larger mains and rod journals than the A and had a fuel pump along with several other differences. To add to the confusion, there was a high compression head for the A that had a "B" cast on it and the Model B had a "C" cast in its head!!!
Anyway.....
John
