You do amazing work, and make chips fly ...carving works of art from chunks of metal !! You remind me of an OLD timer, I knew. He was grand master of that kind work. Probably no one here knows his name now. I know that nowadays... you must be very talented(read: brainpower) to “paint” with CNC etc , make Piccaso (?) like stuff as you do ! I admire Jim B and all our hobby that he represents ! The only time that I saw a HUGE 4 brl carby on a banger, was at Jims. It was attached to his proven BVille banger....with BABBITT ...no less ! |

Re: Tech Q ?
Thanks.
I’ve thought on that long and hard. The answer is no ! Doubtful Fordbarn guys will run into this pos on HAMB. Whereas, I hang on HAMB as much as here ! Like he told me... “I'm a machinist...not a mechanic” ! He will mess with a Real Texan who lives in his neighborhood , and likely find out what he gets when messes with them. |

Good story, indeed ! Been there, done that... heck , I thot All engines must come with requisite sludge. Seemed every old junk I had to work with had a good portion sludge come in it. So it was SOP, for me to clean the mess. But this diamond B...takes the first prize for... the most ! Im not afraid of no stinking sludge, however its good to be aware of the minor and/ or major problems could occur, eh ! Dont remember ever having/using “detergent” back in 50s ? Heck, not even NEW oil ! Strain it or let it settle out in a barrel ...at town garage. Owner let go to me, from barrel. Id fill up screw top containers, cause I only got maybe several mi per qt. Plug fouling was problem. So, kept plenty in trunk to change often. Flathead ‘50 Ford. Ran forever with such good care. Pistons out of junk yard donor...gratis. Ah, life was good !! Until came time to get 25c Gal gas ! Boss wouldnt budge on free gas ! |
