Does anyone have better pictures of this engine. I would like to see more detail. It's not in the BYB. The pushrod is running from an ecentric , not a cam. What is it doing? Exhaust valves do not work well using the ecentric. Ron

The eccentric drives a wooden pushrod which controls the wipe-spark ignitor in the cylinder.

Seems like I remember reading somewhere that he was killed in Waveland, Mississippi. Anyone know? Jeff
