This thing is an absolute beast, I can only imagine hand-building something like this. The fucking thing spits fire like crazy, it looks terrifying!

I mean, shit, what does the distributor look like for a car that old? How do they manage timing? What's the fuel system look like? So many questions

It's essentially a carbureted Vee pushrod engine, except with external pushrods and part of lifter assembly.
Distributor is probably a simple version of what's found in cars from the fifties.

I mean considering, flathead engines were more common at the time it isn't unreasonable to point out the valve train.

What octane fuel does it take?
