Re: back fires

Best way to figure it out is to do a compression check and determine if it's the valves. Electrical on a flathead is a matter of taking the plug out and grounding it against the engine block and...

Re: Engine Drop at the Rouge

Those hooks look like bigger versions of the ones Ice Men used to deliver their product before electricity took away that industry. I sure would like to have one of those hats they're wearing. Wonder...
