Thanks Bob!
Knowing that, I'm becomming more and more partial to the mid '29 to 1930 22-36s - the lower water elbow has a manual thermostat [not a great selling point against some of the competition so later ones were automatic, but sure fool-proof] and can have that manifold vaporizing tar on a pint of gas!
I warned him about the oil dilution, and recommended a full oil change before winter in addition to separating and topping off the oil the next morning. Actually, I've never heard or smelled a McCormick Deering on kero, so I'm probably as itchy to see it as my neighbor is.
