Simple design......... by Dennis Maloney

Simple design.........



............1924 ford four cylinder flathead low compression engine. All you needed to do roadside repairs on this baby was a pair of pliers, screwdriver, spanner, and some bailing wire.... :-}) Now you need a college educated, certified expert on retainer to even change oil.....
This is the engine from the 'Candy Man' truck......

Thanks for all the clicks and comments, they are appreciated......

Beautiful details on this old flathead engine. My father had one many years ago and he liked it. There is plenty room to work on the engine not like today. Thanks for sharing some old memories.
Greetings,
Perry

This is when a shade tree mechanic was just that. Until the early 90's I did all the work on my cars, not today. -archie
