    I wish I could remember Bill Burnham's comments on flatheads, something like the only gauge they needed was a vacuum gauge cause they sucked so much? At least that was the jist of the quote as I remember it:) For those that have no idea who Bill Burnham was he wrote a column in Street Rodder for years and had a bitch'n 29 fenderless Ford roadster.

    I remember Bill Burnham and his light blue Roadster and his column very well. He had a lot of memorable quotes. LOL

    A.I. doesn't know how to pronounce Offenhauser.

    The Flathead was no "mistake".
