Default Al Blatter Flow Testing jets

Al Blatter had an article in the magazine Skinned Knuckles around the early 80's about flow testing jets. Does anyone know what issue that was? I would like to get a copy of that article.

He wrote an article for The Model A News, entiltled "Carburetor Orifices Test." It was the January-February 1983 edition. I don't recall a Skinned Knuckles article around that era.

This might help

The pictures were larger and easier to read before I uploaded.
It seems like Ford Barn shrinks pictures down automatically when they are uploaded.

I do not know how to make the pictures larger so they can be read easier.
If someone knows how, and wants to post the pictures larger for all to see, let me know and I will email the large pictures to you so you can post here for all to see.
