I did some work on a 58 Ford Jubilee years ago. Pretty basic stuff, very cool the way they did some things.. Updraft carb and ball bearing governors. I have always liked working on the old stuff.
I worked heavy line at the dealership back in the 80 s and we did our own machine work on cylinder heads. We rebuilt everything back in those days, now its all plug and play.Youre a brave man taking on a 3 angle valve job good luck to you.
