Re: Best flathead books
I have spent A LOT of time with these 4 books. I do not have a favorite as each one fills a very specific need for me.
Ron Holleran A great piece, easy to read and from a reputable source, very logically written from a first hand perspective.
George McNicoll A bit exotic for my blood but the 59A build chronicled in the book is very specific and detail oriented, almost more of a manual than a book. The 59A section alone is well worth the cost of the book. A little bonus for me is it's a local book.
Roger Huntington A GREAT book and one of my favorites with all it's pictures, diagrams and very relevant old school tricks. In particular I really enjoy Chapter 7, THE INDUCTION SYSTEM and just keep re-reading it.
Jerry Hagens A very inspiring little book and an easy one to read cover to cover when you have 1/2 hr to spare. Nothing new here but it was written when the Flathead was almost obsolete and it's great to read about about all the "obsolete" parts in the 80's that are only a phone call away now 30 years later.
