Huge thanks, of course, to Marlan Davis at HRM. Dan Webb and of course, Mike Herman at Stromberg dealer H&amp;H Flatheads for helping organise the awesome feature and helping us get involved.<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt><a title=\"Hot Rod Mag_0001\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0001-e1354299482901.jpg\" rel=\"slb_group[1527] slb slb_internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hot Rod Mag_0001\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0001-105x150.jpg\" width=\"105\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt><a title=\"Hot Rod Mag_0002\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0002-e1354299462239.jpg\" rel=\"slb_group[1527] slb slb_internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hot Rod Mag_0002\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0002-110x150.jpg\" width=\"110\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt><a title=\"Hot Rod Mag_0003\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0003-e1354299442932.jpg\" rel=\"slb_group[1527] slb slb_internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hot Rod Mag_0003\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0003-107x150.jpg\" width=\"107\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt><a title=\"Hot Rod Mag_0004\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0004-e1354299424315.jpg\" rel=\"slb_group[1527] slb slb_internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hot Rod Mag_0004\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0004-107x150.jpg\" width=\"107\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt><a title=\"Hot Rod Mag_0005\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0005-e1354299401172.jpg\" rel=\"slb_group[1527] slb slb_internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hot Rod Mag_0005\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stromberg-bulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hot-Rod-Mag_0005-103x150.jpg\" width=\"103\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<dt><\/dt>\n<dt><em>(Editor&#8217;s Note &#8212; Don&#8217;t know how all this works for hydro motors running the flatheads, but thought some of you may find it of interest.
