Re: 4-banger book
 

Today's date is 11-12-19, the post is much older but the index posted from fordcragar is current, I had added a chapter on carbs & distributors. I currently have one (1) book in stock but will re-order next month and have more the 1st of 2020. Believe it or don't, I have sold 1649 books, including the one to DD931. I originally figured I would maybe sell 100. Thanks to all!!!

Post here when you have more in, am not in immediate need. Will make a nice addition to my library, and will make some interesting winter reading. Figure I will order when restocked, in case someone has an immediate need for a copy..

Re: 4-banger book
 

Would make a great Christmas present!!

I've had several wives buy it for their husbands, for Christmas.

Thanks to all !!!

Hey Jim. First I have heard you had a book out. My favorite pastime besides working on my Town Sedan is reading about Model As.

When you get your book restocked I would like to get one so put me on your list (if you have a list)..

Jim Brierley 11-14-2019 12:18 PM

Re: 4-banger book
 

Y-block, I don't keep a list but will post here when I have more on hand, probably near the end of the year? Cost has gone to $34 mailed here in the States, first class mail.

Are there any of the books left for purchase? Is there a link?

Thanks for directing me to #27. He mentioned that he had one book left so I was just confirming that the last book was sold or might still be available. If it’s gone I hope to get one with the next printing.

Thanks
