Ron's book is great! I'm using it now as I'm building my engine.

Jefscoupe · 11-26-2013, 01:32 PM

Geeze Louise! The prices people are asking for some of these
Flathead books!
Unbelievable!

Grandadeo · 11-26-2013, 04:46 PM

^^^^^????? I'm thinking $28 delivered for all Ol' Ron's knowledge is a pretty good deal.

texas webb · 11-26-2013, 05:21 PM

Where else and at what price you gonna get all the vast knowledge
that goes into these books

I have sold hundreds of these books for Ol'Ron. Don,t see how Amazon sells them used for $75 Bill

Ol' Ron · 11-26-2013, 06:22 PM

Probably the cheapest book on the flathead engine is jWL's, considering what went in it to give the information it contains.. Remember, knowledge is power. and can save you money.

don35 · 11-27-2013, 03:29 PM

All knowledge will come with a price. I've found books to be the most economical way to learn!

You're complaining about a lousy $28?

JWL · 11-27-2013, 07:23 PM

Thanks for the nice compliment, Ron.

Ol' Ron · 11-27-2013, 11:10 PM

I just wish I wrote it. But I learned allot when I read it and I think others will too.

39portlander · 11-28-2013, 08:23 AM

I like both books and Ron's has that Flathead Chili recipe, mmm good

No. The $28 ones I have no problem with. It's the 80, 90, and up that I have an issue with. And buying each guru's guide adds up. And I also know some of them are out of print, which drives the price up.
But you guys are right. The knowledge contained in them can be invaluable.
It just seems like a Barrett-Jackson syndrome going on.
"I saw one on B/J sell for a million, six, so mine ought to be worth a half mil easy."

BTW if you'll PM me the info, (or point me in the right direction) I'd like one of Ron's books.

Contact 4tford above.^^^^

Bob/Ohio · 12-03-2013, 06:53 PM

I bought Ron's book a few years ago right from him, and it was even signed, with his quote,''Good luck'' & "keep 'em runnin" -Ol' Ron.

Ol' Ron · 12-03-2013, 07:21 PM

Yes, It's important to "keep them running".

Jefscoupe · 12-27-2013, 06:12 PM

I got a late Christmas or maybe early birthday today.
I got my copy of Ron's book in the mail.

Thanks 4tFordBill, and Ron!

4tford · 12-27-2013, 07:24 PM

You are quite welcome. Ron is correct though. JWL's book is also a must. Both books are entirely different from each other. Bill

Jefscoupe · 12-28-2013, 11:48 AM

JWL do you have any more of those?
Is that the "Flathead Facts" book?

4tford · 12-28-2013, 11:57 AM
