    FYI Scott, thanks again for the ride in the T and DS a couple of weeks ago... total time machine.

    Model T racing must have been a blast. I thought the idea of off center boring the babbets was a very cool way to increase compression. I would suspect the babbets would have to be re-poured and re-bored after every race. The welding up the camshafts and Porting and polishing the carburaitors and intake was cool too. Those old mechanics were very creative. I really enjoyed watching this video. Good stuff

    Words cannot express my absolute love I have for the content you guys post. I've watched Jim on cold war motors now for i guess 5 years and though id seen the best. Between these two channels i can't decided which is more amazing. The bell ring behind the counter and the demonstration of the really old stuff is a fun combo that takes me way back to my childhood. Id love to see the rubber hose stretched across the parking lot hooked to the dinger in the garage that alerted the gas jockey there were new customers. (Car pulls in DING DING) I loved hearing that bell as a kid along with watching the windows getting washed. Keep it up and im sure Hollywood will be knocking on your door soon. This way of life needs to be preserved and not forgotten and you're carring the torch. This is a working museum and I just love hearing the history.

    On average Model T used about 6--1 compression, Model A was the same engine basically but higher compression hence more power! Nice flame thrower on No19 there 🤣😀

    Miss my 20 Speedster. Had a Wakasha Ricardo head on it Hemi pistons, and oversized Cadilac valves. Full race cam. Bored 30 over, electronic ignition, and hot coil. Also converted to 12 volts. Had a 26 rear end 4:10 gearing with big brakes. I ran wooden bands in the transmission because they seemed to run cooler and you could grab the low band much harder. Also had 26-27 wires wheels on it. Had it up to 70 one time, sounds like a sewing machine running flat out. The front tires and wheels felt like a gyro even though they were well balanced at 70. Guess they weren't made to go that fast, but I beat the other Speedster by a mile or more. My number was 13. When I sold it at auction it ended up in Nebraska somewhere? Always wondered where it is now. That was about 15 years ago give or take. Anyhow, I really liked your Speedster racer video.
