Title: John Parker Motor
Post by: william shippy on August 18, 2023, 07:02:55 PM: I'm interested in any information on what John Parker did to the motors he rebuilt and more so on what he did to his own kaiser he had. I remember meeting him and his kaiser about 1976. He rebuilt my motor and trans, new clutch in 1976. It ran outstanding !!

Thanks, Wil in Whittier #9743

I would like to know where that car is. I looked for it years ago but no luck. The VIN FM13657
But I'm also interested how he got that car of his to run like that! I'm working on a 49 Frazer now and would like better performance... A John Parker Hot Rod Motor! LOL

It had the Edmund's 2 carbs, I think, when John had it.

PS. I remember going to John's place in Fullerton and needed a part. He sold me the part and let me use his shop to install it and then he went to lunch with another KF member and said not to sell the place too cheap. Good Times!
