Why 12V? 6V works well. I have made the upgrades to 6V LED headlight bulbs and 6V LED Taillights (very bright lights) mainly for safety and visibility. I still operate a 6V Generator. Its work is easier with the LED lights

I agree it was scary Timing cover is being put back on today. Out of sight - out of mind Sitting in my chair watching the snow that is coming down - expecting 6 inches today Glad I have an enclosed breeze way to go to my heated garage (28 ft X 40 ft)

Great information Plunk Thanks Interesting thing is that I never noticed this "hole" in the block for my 1930 Canadian Roadster when the motor was overhauled in 2012 (Canadian engine)

Does anything know if MARC has or will do the same for the 2020 Oshkosh Meet

One also needs to remember that the cowl paint was not "rubbed" or polished out like the exterior body was. (JS Area 14: Paint & Stripping - page 14-1, Paint Quality) A good example of this effect is shown in the picture at the top of Page 1-9 in Area 1 - Engine Compartment
