I felt a vibration So I put front's on balancer and it called for 12 oz and had a bump in tread so I figure take them off now.

Out enjoying the day today. Some of these farm roads go on forever it seems.
I always look to see what farmers have laying around. Just don't take pictures you might get a warning shot and I understand that.
Time to do a check up on Max. We have had a great year and put many miles on including some 1/4 mile at a time doing my best at bang shifting(fun).
I had a intake gasket leak sucking oil that I finally cured. The plugs look allot better, plus Mike recommended some hotter plugs even helped more. 3924 Autolite. Usually a ngk or champion fan but these work great.
Here are the compression next post.

Most plugs looked like this. One carbon up a bit.
Imagine some carb tuning could make better.

I was wondering if the oil burning smell was a intake leak or loose oil rings. Glad just was the gasket.. I had similar problem with that intake and heads, even though it sat flush it still sucked oil up. Might be able to drop a jet or 2 since it's no longer sucking air from the galley..
Happy Birthday Max. 12-12-66 build date
Customer paid extra to rush it's build to get delivered to Marietta, Ohio. Pottmeyer auto sales.
I wish I knew more from this original owner but it's a dead end.
