Been a CA. prunepicker for all 66 years, remember first HOT ROD edition, Car Craft, Honk, etc. Was 14 when a rocket scientist (Honest!! From Point Mugu, CA) patiently explained to me that it was physically impossible for Art Chrisman to go 144mph in quarter mile. He must've made a simple mistake, First drive was Dad's shop 1946 Ford p/u, we built a 4" stroke Mercury with H-C cam, Johnson lifters, Sharp heads, two 97's, Fenton cast-iron headers, etc. Got so I could replace transmission in less than 30 minutes. Did that many times, too. Whole background is internal combustion--boat, plane, scooter, m/c, cars anything fossil-fuel burning. Latest project will be my 1947 Hudson pickup--am going to use a 308ci Hudson engine, automatic, discs, all the right parts. Now liviing in Auburn, home of Hot Friday Nites. Second friday, each month May-Sept. downtown is closed off for app. 300 pre-'72 rods, customs, sportscars, etc. Just a really great show/time for all. If ever in the area, DON'T miss!! OK, 'nuff said. Can I post a question now? It's a simple one, just need permission and someone with an old Mallory ignition catalog/application chart. Thanx.
