Here you go


Doug Boyd was on that trip and he had one of those really big giant cameras. Winfield got out his photo album and he took some pics of the pics. Here is one of Ed Winfield with his Model T powered race car.



Notice to cool intake manifold for the updraft Winfield Carb. He did it that way cus he wanted a specific length from carb to intake valve. Ed did not like having two intake ports on the T with 1-2-4-3 timing. He fixed that by building a crank that was two up then two down. Now his timing was 1-3-2-4 so that the intake was 180 deg apart. I am sure he had a few other speed secrets.
