Is a blue bird blue? I swear, if all 216s ran like the one (with Carter
W-1) in my '46, there would have been no need for automotive technology
advancement beyond that point! Okay, MAYBE the mechanical lifters are a
little noisier than hydraulics and MAYBE some people like to rev 'em over
3000 rpm and stuff like that, but hey, I love the ol' trucks and I'm stayin'
on the list for that reason.
