Mitch, I agree about the old books. Update: I bought a reprint parts manual that had some good text information but the illustrations were just dark blobs. I picked up a frame from an Inliner friend that is a four cylinder frame in great condition. A guy from another site sent me a lot of reprinted and scanned material that I received today. His dad had an Essex touring and a speedster. His brothers still have the cars and he is trying to get more info from them. What he sent covers a lot from valve spring seat pressure, valve timing, bearing sizes, ignition and carb adjustments and much more. Another local Inliner friend who also belongs to a speedster club is interested in the Essex and is offering help and parts. This could turn out to be fun.
