I'd doubt that. But there are a few here and there. I'm guessing california has us beat along with a bunch more states. Right off the top of my head after reading this thread and from what I recall over my short time here, there's about 9 of us, with about 3 very close neighbors who need to be counted, on this particular forum. Not much for our state in my opinion. But watch for more of us I imagine. That basketball team looks like it's just gonna exist this year, and we get bored when that happens. Plus the football team just got pounded in the whatever bowl.

Boyd County is Ashland. They are about an hour and a half east of me.
Sparta is between Louisville and Covington, isn't it?

I understand county vs city. I went to a city school but was in Boy Scouts with a lot of county students. It made things interesting during tournament season.

Not much progress this week. I was convinced my daily driver (2004 Jeep Liberty) had dropped a valve. I got it apart and it had only thrown a cam follower. (rocker arm) Whoever heard of such a thing? I've had overhead cam engines before, and driven them into the ground. My turbo mustang had 160k and never threw a follower.

Another reason to own a Flathead: Cam, lifter, valve. Nothing in between.

Not all North

If you're wondering how many FTErs are near you, imagine how many I can count near central Mexico!

I've been around the forum for a couple of months and can tell you these guys are really fun and helpful with tips and tricks.

Welcome, and good luck with your project!

Ed

Where about?

Guadalajara, Jalisco.

About three and a half hour drive to the beach in Puerto Vallarta. That's probably more popular than Guadalajara itself.
