I try really hard to stick to one variety of collecting. Like flathead v8s and now I have this complete H six that is all set to run but needs a ring gear. Now I have to research a whole new field.... And speaking of nailheads, this followed me home about 15 years ago. Thought you might like. Was somebody's hack job and it knocked from a mile away so I replaced it with a 302, later I got bored, I sold it. Somebody has a nice '40 1 1/2 ton now.
