You posted your "Intro" in the "wanted to buy" section of the classifieds, hence my "PM", private message, to you earlier today explaining this.

"Wanting: Car
​

My name is Ron Holleran and my claim to fame was the fact that back in the late 80's when the flathead was just a memory to us old farts. I wrote a book called "Nostalgia". I wrote it to help tew guys put these engines together for street use and not the old fashion way of building a full house flatty that had only 10 to 15 thousand miles in them. My quest was to make the Flathead ford engine a viable street engine. In 1992 there were less than a dozen flatheads at York. Last year there must have been a hunders and I hope I helped. I started in stock car racing then went into Chevy and Hemi powered drag racing. But in 1966 I was back circile track racing with flatheads untill 1974. My work history was invloved in the machine tool inderstry. I love to fly and have an Ultralight for sale before I kill my self. My biggest problem is my eve sight, second is spelling.
I want everyone to have a great life.
and Keep em runnin
Ol' Ron"

A living legend

 

Welcome-- I agree with ya' Ron --the old things will get better if ya' use the new ways!

 

As I said before, its great to have Ron on the HAMB at last. Ron was a great help when building my first Flathead combo and the thing runs like a champ.

Blokes like you dont grow on trees and ensure that Flatheads will live on the the minds and hearts of the younger brigade.

Roll on Ron....Ill look forward to your input hear alonf withe all the other flathead guys.
