Gunslinger Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 True, though towards the end it was more part-time than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I remember meeting him when I toured the factory in 1970. He showed me how he checked to see how smoothly engines ran on finished Avantis. He held a dollar bill by the narrow edge and pressed it to the top of the exhaust pipe. He wanted to see it extending smoothly/horizontally from the pipe with no flutter when the engine was running. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
