Getting 'er Started

A lot of work - which, due to a spun rod bearing, has turned into a waste - went into getting the old slant six firing. I rebuilt the carb, replaced the radiator and water pump, installed new spark plugs, and even gave the distributor the advantage of electronic ignition in order to start the tired engine. It worked great for a couple months even - until it finally keeled over with a bearing squeal that makes dogs howl.

For the reason that the motor is now in the process of being replaced, I will not bother to go into any more details about the motor.
