That blower that is on the restored flathead powered 22Jr. sat on my flea
market table at Hershey. I believe it went throught Jerry Duncan to Ronnie then
onto the restored car. Kind of neat that Sparkes who built the original motor
built the one in the restored car. Tony of course did the reupholstery. Ronnies
Roadster that is in this months Street Rodder is the only Ardun powered car
