With yellow plates, I can't get out of NY.  County Supervisor is bitchin' about NYC dwellers moving into our local hospitals, what happened to die in place?

Never seen that style of valve cover. None of mine look like that.

Yeah, that looks more like an Austin A-series valve cover or similar. Odd that.

That is a Volvo B16 engine. Very early Amazons got this unit. Only 3 main bearings and 1600cc, but still a good engine. B18 happened in 1961 for all models. Two tone paint dissapeared (at least in the USA) at the same time.
