Overcoming Design Flaws from Uncle Tony

Back when I was a young man, there was a local old man(he'd be about 120 by now) who was known as the slant 6 master, he'd do all his own machine work, make his own manifolds, go to the local dragstrip in his 63 valiant and consistently out run V8s, I wish he were around today to pass on some of his knowledge( I'm sure he was modifying V8 windage trays for slantys)
So many things are about to become lost to history, in both automotive, and the trades, I find it admirable that someone is trying to pass on those simple tricks to the younger generation that only knows EFI and computer chips and couldn't properly tune a carb or set the dwell on a set of points to save their lives
That's why I love watching him, so much to give this generation on computer freaks. I thought I knew alot about what he does......BOY was I misguided! He blows me away with his knowledge.
