Bubba's Ignition Health...Missed and Now What?
 

Jim Linder (Bubba) as most of us now know is retired...a great resource and icon. Wish him well with his health challenges.

I have a Mallory I need tuned in for my '51 8BA...I can dismantle, ultrasonically and manually clean...but then there is the question of mechanical advance benching. I have tons of NOS stock.

Would also like to have the original Ford Load-O-Matic done over.

I am pushing 60, and when I was young there were masters all around me...hammer welders, lead filling, blacksmith/mechanic geniuses (my Dad) who just knew how to keep these things running.

I value everyone on this forum. And such an incredibly valuable resource. Like WWll vets, we are losing the old school pros at a rapid rate.


Cheers, S

I know how Jim (Bubba) feels I am in my 80's now and old C.M.T Veteran having been in to flathead V8's about 50 years I am having a few health problems I have been getting rid of my V8 parts but the trouble over here, I have to just about give them away as there is not many V8 vehicles being built now.
