Burn-Oil exhaust and intake manifold acc

Gasoline in the Model T era was anything but cheap - a gallon cost perhaps 20 - 25 cents. That was enough money to pay for a hamburger dinner, the equivalent of $7 - $8 today.

Kerosene on the other hand was getting cheaper every year during the 1920's because more and more houses in the city were becoming electrified, causing a world wide glut of kerosene on the market.

Again, a great wall hanger.
