This example wasnt a “ dumb “ moment ,just the younger generation have not seen a flathead engine.
I called into my local parts sales store driving my 34 pickup. Several of the staff came out to inspect the “cool truck” and wanted to see the engine. Their resident “mechanic” asked me why there were so many nuts holding the rocker covers on! ( it has a stock 21 stud flathead engine!)
I did explane the setup but i dont think he could understand the concept of side valves.
