You're right, they still monitor the pollution at the burial pits here in MI, trying to keep it contained. And I think there is 3 or 4 different spots that Velsicol owned that are all grossly polluted. At least there is fences around them keeping people out, but with it's one location directly on the Pine River, it has really ruined the area.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
