[SEL] Fairbanks T

[Dave Ernst]

Yea, all the simple stuff.
Have a lot of the stuff made, new ignitor shafts and point ends, head now 
has valve guide inserts back to standard size, in the process of making 
valves out of a hunk of stainless. Got ahold of the Otto guy who claims to 
make rings to spec, gave him the sizes and credit card number two months ago 
and haven't heard from him since......
Other than that, I'm slowly gaining on it.
