Re Chassis 164B. BB7/1.15312. Engine Section 15.3.12. D.C. Will you please instruct the engine for this chassis to be similar to that in the Sluggard car, and fitted with the larger induction pipes, large carburetter, free silencer, 75 lbs compression etc. Also to be fitted with a "Vea" magneto, and the latest arrangement of high-tension wiring for the battery ignition, together with a weak coil. | ||
