I had a 31 coupe like with an engine like that, two 94's, Mallery dizzy, ohv conversion [I think Rhiley or Offenhouser, can't remember] Insert bearings. Of course duel straight pipes. Was it a screamer. I could beat off the line for two pole lenghts, 60's Corvets and most late 50 to 60's stock cars.

Isn't that distributor a flathead V8 distributor, that has been converted to 4 cyl. ?
I never saw that before, but it is interesting !

32Gnu the toy in post #409 is a "Cal's Colt" supposedly named after Calvin Coolidge who was President when the toy first appeared. I had one in 1941!
