I know there are alot of guys on here from the NW....the company I work for makes parts for a company called A-Dec, the fella that started this company that makes dental chairs and equiptment was an old hot rooder from back in the days...he still own several of his old rods that he had built and raced in the 40-50's...a couple of the guys got a tour of his shop and let me just say that the stuff I seen in those pictures would make a traditional rod builder sick with envy...this guy molded his own intakes(Austin)..several different models, magnesium piston molds, I will try to get some pictures posted after I get some approval....anybody this know guy???....34
I have one of Kens triple carb dual plane manifolds on my Ardun and i have never been more happy with anything i have bought in my life. I had the plessure of meeting Ken last year at Portland swapmeet. He made his first manifold in 1950 .It was for a flathead and in 1952 he made one for the 337 Lincoln . All this at a very young age. I have a friend here who is building a blown Ardun and i got him one of Kens manifolds for it. He is Very happy with it also. Ken is a saviour for Ardun owners. H
Toured Ken Austin's Newberg, OR Museum recently, his claim to fame is the finest quality Dental Equipment in the world, he really gets it right & I would love to meet him some day.A serious over achiever. I will attach a couple of pictures.
