Re: Yet another puzzle
Engine appears to be an early '20's Buick judging from the water outlet pipe and valve cover. Per the engine photo from the link Rich E. provided. Hubcap looks like early '20's Buick as well.

Re: How I mill Model T and A cyl heads
Thanks Randall for posting that video. You certainly have the correct machine, tooling and know how to do the job right. I just assumed heads were milled on a "Bridgeport" type milling machine.

Re: Best Turn Signal available
Hand signals are useless - drivers today don't know what they mean. They think you are waving at them or someone else!! :lol: See page 22 of the 2022 Arizona Drivers manual. They are certainly not "useless". Ask most any motorcycle rider. https://apps.azdot.gov/files/mvd/mvd-forms-lib/99-0117.pdf I...

Re: Best Turn Signal available
Hand signals still in the Arizona Drivers License manual and can be on the test. I quizzed a 19 year old about them and he knew what they meant. Bikers use them as well. Not as obsolete as some seem to think.

Was cancelled in 2020. 2021 was a go. I was there and did quite well selling most of my excess T parts. Attendance was down some from previous years. Still enjoyed it and had a great time. Even got to ride in Eric Barrett's 1914 Overland.

Never heard of an Allen before. Nice looking well equipped car for the day. 3.625" bore X 5" long stroke engine. If I did the math right, that works out to 206.4 cubic inches.

Re: war on cash??
I typically pay with cash when shopping at the local stores. In early 2020, the local AM PM had a sign out "DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS ONLY". That sign has since been removed.
Guess cash is not "King" anymore.
