The only song I don't recognize is the third one. What is it?

What was ever done with the valve timing? Was the timing off when Peter first took it apart?

Kim,
We are going back to the “factory setting.” I thought we may was well start at the beginning. There wasn’t a big change with the change we made before. That inotself surprises me.
Let the sorting begin.
Cheers, rob

You and also myself! All the others I recognized quickly. When I was a young lad, I was quite a fan of popular music from the mid to late 1800s Yes, I was a strange kid.
Rob, A very interesting way to show work being done. It appears you guys were moving right along. The car is looking really fine!

Re: Richmond, here we come. Putting together a Ford Model B
Thanks guys. After a little checking, I believe it’s “Ring Ring de Banjo.”

Re: Richmond, here we come. Putting together a Ford Model B
"Ring de Banjo" comes up as a Stephen Foster song if you google it. However, googling "Stephen Foster songs" doesn't generally bring up lists including that one. However, he wrote more than 200 songs, and most of the lists that came up only showed about fifty songs, so I guess more than a few are left out.
In my youth, I was quite a Stephen Foster fan. Before I accepted the fact that I have absolutely NO musical talent, I tried to play quite a few of his songs. But that one, I was not familiar with.
Always more to learn.
Thank you Rob!
