I have been trying to access Steve Pluckers old website, 329s.org or something like that..... nothing but red X's and DANGER signs pop up, did he let it go?

Does anyone have a downloaded version of all his research?

I was hoping to find some documentation about the Early cars off-set starter rod and why the design changed to the straight rod....

and even more details what is the change in distance for the hole thru the firewall between the two ....?

I could post a current link but it would get deleted........

Copy and Google this - Steve Plucker Articles / Historical Research

It should give you a link to the host for his papers. The wayback machine doesn't get you any of the updates.

Pluck made the decision to let his website shut down late 2024 and the site is no more. It exists in archive form on the wayback machine that others have linked to above. I downloaded all of his pdf's and keep them on my computer for future reference so I don't have to rely on the website.

I bought his books. They are good and also helpful.

Steve used to hang out here but I think something ruffled his feathers. He hangs out on the other forum.
