Where is everyone #5

Great memories.

 

Even HEI is 80,000 DC volts.

 

I'll be out in a bit to help.... don't want ya gettin' laid up again.....

 

@shooter my dad was a 56 Bel Air crackhead. Only real car ever. I think he said between 55,56,57's he had owned 15 of them. Some nice, alot junk. One mint one that was stolen. Had finally decided we were gonna built him a nice cruiser/hot rod before he passed. Makes me still want one. Best looking shoe box in my opinion.

 

We will need more beer too.

 

If you notice it has a hand crank on the right side, it is fully operated by hand. I myself was unsure of its original use, my freind Jim found it in a scrap yard, with lots of time researching he finally found out what it truly is. Jim built this CASE stationary engine for me as well. His home is a small museum of restored tractors and engines, real as well as toys. He owns some very nice vintage flywheel engines as well. He owns a early 1900’s International engine that like the engine @johndeere4020 mentioned earlier, starts on gas then runs on diesel. Except Jim’s engine runs on kerosene & water. Anyone know why our forefathers mixed water with kerosene to run a engine???? I’ll give you all a few on that one.

 

It’s early life helped combat evil......

 

Oh yeah, it just shocked the pee out of him.

 

Only thing comes to mind is to keep the cylinders cool.

 

This was in the distillate days?
