I worked on the car for one year to get the car where it is today. When I got the car it was in good condition with no rust except on the inside of the rear fender where they fit to the aprons. \r\n\r\nThe running gear and brakes were already redone and they looked like they were done several years ago. I did all the work myself, expect the pin stripping was done by Eight Ball in Clovis New Mexico. \r\n\r\nI live by the gravesite of Billy the Kid, 8 miles from town. I only drove the car twice; the second time I drove the car into town the timing gear and oil pump gear went out. There are no manuals for the eight or four cylinder engines. I had the gears made it cost l,8OO.OO, I also had them treated to keep them oily for another 200.00 \r\n\r\nThe engine has a drilled crank shaft with two oil lines going to the end of the journals. lt also has inserts, a roller cam with a four barrel un-drafted carburetor and external oil pump. The timing gears and oil pump gears have a tube for stray oil on the gears. The engine was manufactured by Northway. Northway made engines for General Motors.
