    Larry, thanks for the photos and history/ownership info.
    From the video above, not a Miller, but rather the first Ford flathead to complete the Indy 500, it finished 17th in 1934. It is driven by a good friend and is raced regularly in SVRA events.

    car wouldn't run without compression, this gear broke at the most opertune time when valves were in overlap or in no danger of contacting a piston. replaced gear, cleaned everything up and we'll see how it runs

    belly pan and hood in place, Steve won't start it until the owner comes to pick it up, i suggested we hot wire it and take it around the block, sometimes i can be such an ***hole
