Stop the video at 2:10, its got no ~~~~ing floor in it. how easy is it to adjust those tappets. Is that silver pipe running from the exhaust manifold round the back of the engine and down going to the EGR valve !!!

This was a hybrid of the Model T and the Flintstones car.

First start - my hairy arse.

Liteace - if it's the EGR then somebody has pinched the moterised valve.

Guess it could be a 'warm up pipe' to keep the fuel injectors warm
(Search fuel injection - you be surprised how 'old' it is)
