I have a Carter W-1 sitting on what I believe to be the original 216. Seems like the W-1 stopped being made in 48. wondering if PO dropped something on or put it on to make it look complete (I have some suspicions that the W-1 was outside and open to weather. rest of the engine had not been) Thanks for any help! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 17 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 17 |
