Everybody has an opinion based on experience or bias. I hate a Ford....but their 300 six is one of the best engines ever made.
Toyota"s 22R four cylinder is tough as nails.
Chrysler never made a bad V8, so far as I am concerned. Not always the fastest...but extremely reliable and trouble free. No other maker in the sixties could touch the legendary 426 Hemi..they tried, they came close, but no cigar. To this day...rail dragsters still run a form of the Hemi engine...thanks to the likes of Keith Black and Ed Pink....and those that followed after them.

And hence, where the power band is made. An example is the 426 hemi....you ever see a factory installation in a truck? Useless as t!ts on a boar hog in that application. The old 413 on the other hand was a brute in a pull.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
