  O.K. so it wasn't just a few months ago ... I had to go back 2 years(!) to
find the ad I remembered.  It's in the July 1991 Hemmings, page 5184. For
those unfamiliar with Hemmings they have the ads listed in three columns.
This is a display ad taking about 1/2 of one column (slightly larger than
a business card standing on end). It says:
 NEW 74 INCH KNUCKLEHEADS. Cast Iron Castings For O.H.V. Up To 1947. Ready
 for Valve Job. Cast in U.S.A. $650.00 per set COD. 10% Deposit Required
 on all orders. Allow 6-8 Weeks for Delivery. (914)526-2319 Carol Ellard
 South Trail; Lake Peekskill; New York 10537  U.S. CURRENCY ONLY
That's the ad pretty much verbatim. I've never dealt with these folks and
have no financial interest. ... Perry
