Still looking for some good help though. ...

Sounds like me and my dad when I was growing up in the 50's. I actually learned about how engines work with a 4 cycle Briggs and Straton engine out of a gas pump when I was in FFA in high school.

I'm sure you'll get some help out there.. Best thing I can tell you is to get together with some of the guys there when they have a "truck fest" and meet them. Or maybe you can send an all out bulletin to the locals to have a weekend meet at a park or something...
