I'll second Guy's recommendation, "gatafish" is an excellent seller.  And those engines must last forever.  Had one for several years; when I first ran it every spring it seemed to need breaking in all over again.  Very strong engine.

There’s a Veco .35 in the PTG estate.  I’ll post a picture.

This a early 35C series 100 . The series 150 has the reinforced case ( see the one on E-Bay ) a way better engine.

My guess is that Gordan doesn't intend to fly combat with this engine, but wants it for its historic authenticity on an airplane in his museum.  He would probably be more offput by someone having attacked this engine with a wire brush.  That's period authentic, though.  Veco .35Cs predate the engine-cleaning application of Crock Pots.

There was a needle valve in the bag with the engine.

The Jive Combat Team, both posthumously and humously, is a major supplier of engines to Mr. Delaney.
