Discussion:
pick a brain on an old yale

Can an old timer familar w/ a 60's or 70's vintage dual wheel Yale tell the m/n by a photo? The guy needs a muffler and does not want to retro one in.

I'll email the photo.

The chrysler has the distributor on the side of the engine, the continental has it on top of the head.

I'm thinking it's a KGP-51. Should have a Chrysler 6 cyl flathead. If I'm correct I doubt a muffller is going to be available as this model is from the late 50's- early 60's.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
