Default Re: Cruisin' the for sale ads

A little off subject but I bought 2 1940 Ford convertibles disassembled. Only one engine with them that he said he pulled in 1962 and it smoked then. It was upside down on the dirt floor of a dry building, no carb or fuel pump looked like the above. I pressure washed it off and it was not stuck and no stuck valves(if it had been a good engine it would have been stuck and valves stuck). Oiled it good, got all accessories on it and it ran like a top! The 53 year hibernation didn't stop the smoking and blowed the previous owner mind that it was running. Merry Christmas Steve
