I just got a PM that Ken had passed away. He was 83. No further details.

Sorry to hear about Ken, he was good to me,
he sent me quite a few Ignition parts to me in N.Z.

Saddens me to hear this. Ken was always straight up with me in my dealings with him. I enjoyed bantering with him and busting his balls.

Hopefully the Bullies/Trolls on this forum who take glee in berating him will let him rest in peace...

Hi Lawson; Thanks for the notification. I liked Ken and enjoyed my conversations with him at Fitchburg, Craig.

Amen to that statement. Quit 42 years ago and it gave me more money to buy old Ford parts!

Sad to hear of Kens passing he was always willing to help with any carb questions. Kens carb rebuilding was ALWAYS spot on perfect. Ken was a great person he will be missed.

As Ronnieroadster and others have said, Ken helped me a ton. Had problems with a OTC rebuild kit, power valve was wrong, etc. Ken, rebuilt the carb, and along with the rebuild were a few extras, including another power valve.
