Last time my 1952 8n ford ran was about 6 months ago. Decided it should be running again, I might want to drag some logs up out of the woods. After charging the 6 volt battery I did have to put in a set of points and condenser it fired right up on 3 cyl.. Forgot to put wire back on a plug I had used to check for spark.
Sea foam to the credit, all I remember last spring when I dug the road ditch deeper is I put a good half a can in the tank. I was planning on dumping it but since it still runs...........
Guess I should go back to town and get some real gas and thin out the garbage thats in it now. About a 1/3 tank of old stuff/ I seriously doubt if a scooter could run on that stuff, low compression and I been starting it with ether for the last ten or fifteen years because the choke linkage falls apart if used.
If the car manufacturers put cars together like ford did their 8n, most of the UAW union boys would be in some other sort of business today! Hell look at cuba with all the 50-60 yo cars being daily driven!
