We started a trivia thread over at another forum and it has been a lot of fun.
Here are the ground rules. It starts with one question. The first reply with the right answer gets the floor for a new question. It continues like that unless, A) the person who has the floor doesn't ask a new question, or B) no one gets the correct answer. In that case, the person with the floor asks a new question. No more than one question on the floor at a time, and discussion/clarification is welcome until the floor is taken over by a new question.
First question: In the 1952 Indy 500, what type of fuel was burned in the record-setting pole-position #28 car? Hint: it won pole position by a full 4 mph over the second-place Ferrari
I was just reading that Ford did use up to 700 Robertson (square drive) screws on each Model T bodies (at least on the Canadian models with bodies built by Fisher). (click for link)
Phillips screws didn't come into existence until the Model T ceased production, so it can't be Phillips.
Allen or hex screws were invented in 1892. I don't recall ever seeing Allen screws on a "T" but who knows...
Ok Guys, it's Phillips. He went back to slotted screws for a little while but it was Phillips that he finaly settled on. And because Henry didn't go with the Robertson screw no one else did either and it didn't catch on in the states. It's a shame because it is a good screw. mmmmmm I might have said that before mmmmmmmm.
Brian got most of the answers so he should take the floor. Sorry I didn't get back sooner but sometimes I have to do a little work.
Good job all of you who answered and don't you think it's an intersesting story?
Dang it, I was wrong, 1969Nova has it. It was a 322 Nailhead and I thought being the 364 replaced teh 322 in Buicks in 1957, I figured that was as far as the Chevy used them. But they continued using the 322 up until 1959. It was called a "Torque Master".
The first commercial flexible fuel vehicle was the Ford Model T, produced from 1908 through 1927. It was fitted with a carburetor with adjustable jetting, allowing use of gasoline or ethanol, or a combination of both.

It's actually the CCR and it has a 4.7 a bored or possibly stroked 4.6 Ford modular engine. The one that you chose has the engine built off of the modular design by a British company. Check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koenigsegg_CCR
You are close enough so you now have the floor.
Good job
