Looks like a straightforward start for that time period. Really smooth! Thanks JK.

I'm always amazed at how involved starting those older cars can be. The last time I was at the NB Center, I drove a 1927 model from an obscure maker in Indiana They showed me how to start it...twice! You had to turn this, pull that, stomp on the other. The young man showing me all this was twenty-five years old. I asked how he knew all this. He said, "When they come in, they give me the car and I have to figure it all out. Sometimes it takes a few days. There's no such thing as an owners' manual."

"Sounds like two Flatheads running together". Now that's a quote. The V16, understandably, has a deeper rumble.
