You Ford guys may know the answer to this.

I only get here on business, but it is several times a year. -

I have seen that car in the flesh, sitting on a side street in downtown Anderson, SC. If you google 67 428 country squire, there are lots of pics. I bet it is a hoot to drive! It also has buckets and console. -
Well, to finish off the trio of the trio, do the Early Iron Versions of each!

The engine that rewrote F1 history

The Lotus 49 is the most beautiful and pure automobile ever made. Awhile back, someone asked the question if money were no object, what car would you buy--- here's mine! -
OK, now you are just showing off...

White Gas Burner #2
wku88 replied to DRIPTROIT 71's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Actually, after a bit of searching, I found this: http://www.gasenginemagazine.com/gas-engines/a-brief-history-of-hercules-engines Descendant of Hercules and Hall-Scott it looks like. Later Molines used Hercules Diesel engines. Oliver used the Waukesha. -
White Gas Burner #2
wku88 replied to DRIPTROIT 71's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
For the I-6 engine, it was most likely a Waukesha like the Oliver and Minneapolis-Moline gassers for the bigger tractors, since White owned those brands in the 60's-early 70's. For distributor location on the giesel, I'd suspect it was in the same spot as the injection pump on diesels. -
White Giesel Engine
wku88 replied to DRIPTROIT 71's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I know nothing about it, but the concept of using a diesel to start with, then use LP/propane, it would literally last forever. Tractor pullers convert diesel to spark ignition alcohol burners for the same reasons-- high boost pressure longevity! -
Looks like Sour Kraut carried the Mo'luminum conversion, but it is listed as sold out. Thanks for the info, at least I will know what to look for.

Does anyone make a conversion kit for a 9300 to fit this?

Revell 30 Model A Ford Production Halted?
wku88 replied to Daddyfink's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I don't know what the deal is. I was at Hobby Lobby, and they had a coupe on the shelf. Went to Michael's, and they had the roadster. I didn't buy either one. Perhaps I should have, and put them on Evil bay to gouge someone? -
While we're at it, so was a Cosworth DFV. I'll take 2!

Century Coronado
wku88 replied to wku88's topic in WIP: All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
You're welcome, Chris. Thank you for the correction on the steering wheel. The boat belongs to my boss. His father had it, and several years after he passed, my boss restored it. Over 5 figures in chrome on that tub! The kit engine has some V-6 Hemi, but this boat has a 327 AMC (converted to marine use by Gray Marine) that originally had two 2bbl sidedraft Carters. Now has a Holley 4bbl. -
Some 1:1 pics of a Century Coronado. The kit is different in a couple areas-- the prow is different with the "pig nose", the back seat upholstery detail is totally off, and inconsistent with the other seats, and the dash layout needs to be scraped off and sanded. Thankfully, the gauge decals appear to be accurate. This particular boat does not have the hardtop. Also, the real steering wheel came from a '59 Lincoln. The kit piece is nowhere close. Enjoy!

Unleaded15... is this stuff any good?
wku88 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yes, it will run fine. You will see a slight decrease in fuel mileage, but it will run ok. Your engine's computer will make sure of that. -
Is this too many models

That would be a good start. Hiya, Mike! ( Todd 55 from zrxoa) -
