I had the same problem, I forgot to put fuel in the coffee can. Note how well insulated the valve cover is.

Dick Steinkamp will remember this car as the one that made him work an extra week on getting the Ute grilles to fit.

I went to check out a barn find F*rd for a friend awhile back. Farmer opened the barn doors and then raised the hood on the old F*rd. He went to find some jumper cables so he could prove his point that it would run.

Rat turds and walnut shells all over the place, I leaned in for a close look at the carb. Up out of the transmission area bolts a big, brown rat. It scurries - right in front of my face - across the left cylinder head and disappears again.[:0] Once I got my breath back, and managed to get my friend to stop laughing, I informed him that it was his fault I was gonna need a clothing change!

Bad airflow thru the radiator might cause overheating. Or maybe not. Could this be the long lost Studebaker Combine?

Pour a can of gas on the top being careful not to spill any light a match to see you are doing it right It should fire right up be carful

It is running. However I think it is Studebaker Abuse to use it to mulch your yard waste.
