new barn find

Gotta love that SOUIX valve grinding equipment ! Imagine 70+ years ago, valve jobs were done at real service stations! ws
 
Yes the equiptment is getting a bit tired but as long as you heat it up by the stove it works fine. The cords are a bit worn out but he refuses to let me replace them. We got the engine running yesterday after a bit of monkeying around. the biggest problem was that we had a leak around the intake and it wasnt sucking up the gas. Once we solved it ran like a champ.

Well the engine is in and it is time to button everything up and get this thing rolling. I am making the T 12 volt so that I can drive at night. It was much easier to remove the steering column before installing engine. The engine looks and sounds good. Hopefully all it needed was a valve job.
