Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Pieti Lowell speaks!Jeff Thanks I really appreciate your recording that talk. I wish I had sat in on that.Thanks againJohnIn a message dated 8/18/2009 9:43:05 P.M.

Included are discussions of the Riblett airoils,fuel injection of a Ford Model B engine, and other performance tweaks. Video in five parts. Note that I missed about the first minute - sorry! - plus, the flies were terrible, so you'll see the video bounce around a lot as I finally lose it a couple of times and swat at them._http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unvGPeYrc3o_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unvGPeYrc3o) _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHHnzw1V5FY_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHHnzw1V5FY) _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYJ1QchJCeM_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYJ1QchJCeM) _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLTDTEyhpGE_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLTDTEyhpGE) _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNJI19K3POU_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNJI19K3POU) -- Jeff Boatright"Now let's think about this..."(http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Pietenpol-List) (http://www.matronics.com/contribution) ________________________________________________________________________________
