Ted has had this Kirkham for way over 10 years, trying to restore it after an engine fire where the front aluminum and interior was now GONE. The car has only been on the road for about 6 months. When Ted backed it out of the trailer the engine was clacking and on our first day run Ted hung back.
A copy of my email from Ted:Turns out I must have missed a valve adjustment lock nut on the pass side. Pulled VC, found nut lying on head, adjuster backed out a couple turns, no damage. Put it back together, ran fine and we intercepted the group at the last stop, diner at Lang's in St Mary's, Ga. Didn't see you there ?!
However, during that trip the engine was still having carb "teething" problems, loading up or fouling plugs due to the too rich mixture, so we opted out of the second day and went to St Augustine.
I bailed early and did not make the diner at Lang's.
