Is that Offenhauser one of those 2-channel arrangements (smaller channels for the low speed)?

Took the truck out for a daytrip yesterday. It hasn't been running well since December, but I finally got some good adjustments.
Went from my home, in Contra Costa County, across the Benicia Bridge, to Cordelia Junction, past Sacramento, to Auburn, then north on 49 through Grass Valley to Nevada City. From there, I stayed on 49 and headed to Camptonville.
Chatted with a friend about the arrangements for an event he's having, then drove home. I'd have called him, but he lives off-grid and I really needed to eyeball his property to get a better feel for the preparations we're making.
The truck stil smells like it's running rich, but it doesn't seem to be producing as much heat as it used to.
All-in-all, it was a good day.
