Navarro six

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

I finally got through to the guy who bought the other AMC parts at  
that Navarro auction this past July. (I may be slow, but...) We  
talked for a half hour or so.

I was embarrassed to find that he was a pretty well known racer, and  
had even raced for AMC, hence his interest in this stuff.  
Embarrassed, because I was so damn ignorant when I called... He knew  
Barney, even, and had wanted to buy the complete #50 back in the 80's.

Cecil Yother. Google "Melrose Missile", amongst other things.

I explained my peculiar interest in the parts he has (another AMC R&D  
head, a crank, Carillo rods...) and what I have to horsetrade. He's  
in the middle of moving, and I'll contact him with details later.

I told him the brief tales I'd learned from Gary Schaedler, Frank's  
info on Breedlove, and the crank specs (and named-dropped Randy Guynn  
for that work).

I may not be able to induce him to part with Rambler stuff, but I  
think he'll provide numbers, measurements etc if not. The rods and  
likely pistons are my main interest.
