Matching numbers is a thing of the past, they generally don't match any more. Nothing to worry about..

Hi Tom,
glad to have saved your life, you owe me a beer.. :-D

My Zephyr is a Kawasaki, air cooled inline 4 retro. Not to be confused with a Ford Zephyr- now that is really old.

Actually over on this side of th3 pond the Zypher was a Mercury. The Ford was a Fairmont. My folks had a Fairmont wagon... '78 or so if I remember...Boy I AM getting old...

Hm.

The real Zephyr was a Lincoln made in the late 30's.
So let's not talk about OLD!

cheers, Denny
