Re: which came first chicken or egg
Engines came first. An engine may lay around for months before being placed into a frame. Then the engine's number was stamped on the frame rail.
I'll bet everyone of those stacked up engines have a number on them, but as yet no home. skip. Last edited by skip; 05-31-2010 at 07:32 AM. |

Re: which came first chicken or egg
Look at this guy in the bibs. I'll bet he's setting the cam timing for the points to open at JUST the right moment. After several thousand 'sets' he's my choice to set my timing!
Now; was this before or after the engine was run-in with a 20 hp electric motor? Pictures from engines being spun-up on the mule will show use the answer. Distributor on or off the engine? Looks like the distributor is being installed in a nice and quite part of the factory with out the high pressure of a moving assembly line. So how many 'bib guys' are doing this to attain one build every 60 seconds or less? Obviously the motor line was not running as fast as the frame/body assembly. How cool would it be to be there? skip. |
