Yammer Dan Posted June 9, 2014 Author #4 Posted June 9, 2014 First Gens not In there cause printing machines weren't invented then. Cameras then weren't fast enough to get pics of them!!!! This thing has some old models I never knew. Why would anyone toss such a thing? Would love to have got it before cover was ripped off. These were the cars I learned to turn wrenches on!!! My 1st rebuild was a 1950 216 Chevy. Then there was a straight 8 Flathead Pontiac. What a sweet running engine. The old 383 Dodge. Now that was a beast!! 283 Chevy? Best engine ever produced! Right up there with the Ford 289!! I'm just loving going thru this old thing!! Most of those aren't in this book it is just stirring memories. Reminding me of tricks I had forgotten. Like to stick one of you young pups under a 61 Ford V-8 and tell you to remove the starter. About like the slave cylinder on a 1st Gen. If you don't turn it right it ain't coming out!!Took me 9 hrs in a parking lot downtown to learn that one!!
