Again thanks.

Henry Ford acquired A. Y. Malcomson and some smaller investors stock prior to 1907. As a result, he held a significant majority in the company named for him, and for all intents and purposes he was in control.

Here is what he wrote about the six cylinder v. the four cylinder motor at that time.

First Brands appears to be filing for Chapter 11 and state that Autolite is one of
the brands to be discarded. I called around for Autolite 3095 and no one had any

available after those are gone. Just Champion X or do some of you use something
else?

Was cleaning up an area in the garage today and came across an old Craftsman hand carry tool box. Opened it up and sat down and went thru it.

Some of these tools had helped me make a living for years and it was nice to handle them again and put them into another...

This morning while checking the tire pressure I found a screw in my Blockley front tire.

Check this out. Seems like they're made for reaming out triple gear bushings. But just doesn't make sense. Anyone know what they're designed for? Found 'em on eBay, pretty cheap. I already had the Wilson reamer, which I tested, and iit fits inside the fixture bores.
