Thanks, BillT for a good belly-laugh to start the day. Did the floor boards shake, and you looked in the rear mirror to see how much pig iron was scattered on the pavement??
Since on wells, the motors ran a constant speed, we'd tune them at night and use the exhaust as a guide. With the stub pipes on each head, blue flame would be at the pipe tips, so we could tune each distributor on each side of the motor, by tuning in each distributor to max blue flame.
