Re: 4-banger book
Got mine.... Wow, I skipped over the "full sized pages" in your original post. I glanced at it and it seems to have a number of new Photos. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those Brierley heads on the cover.

Re: 4-banger book
Today's date is 11-12-19, the post is much older but the index posted from fordcragar is current, I had added a chapter on carbs & distributors. I currently have one (1) book in stock but will re-order next month and have more the 1st of 2020. Believe it or don't, I have sold 1649 books, including the one to DD931. I originally figured I would maybe sell 100. Thanks to all!!!

Re: 4-banger book
Hey Jim. First I have heard you had a book out. My favorite pastime besides working on my Town Sedan is reading about Model As.
When you get your book restocked I would like to get one so put me on your list (if you have a list).. |
