Chris Felchie (ndkid275) sent me this picture. Since it's got ODSS on it, thought you all would enjoy.

His friend made the shirt for him a few years ago. I appeared in a cruise recently.

Thanks Peggy! Most of you have never met my daughter or she was just a baby. She’s already asking for a Stovebolt at the age of 7.

John,

I’m glad that you are getting use out of it… by the way, it’s yours, not mine! 😁

Bill, I was having fun with that design, so we did a test print and I kept it for my kids. Are all inline 6 engines with that firing order?

Chris

PS I’m trying to make a trip back to VA to check in on you all.

1-5-3-6-2-4 for all stovebolt engines (207/216/235/261 - and, maybe the 1929 194?)

All inline 6 cyl engines have the same firing order regardless of manufacture. Anything different and they will come apart. 1-5-3-6-2-4.
