  • Great old school information.

    For those interested in old school auto mechanics, this is an excellent book. Once upon a time, men used to build racing engines and cars by the skin of their teeth. Smokey is a perfect example of that. Nowadays it's all computer so it's good to know how we got here by understanding where we came from.
