While at the Owls Head Transportation Museum outside of Rockland, Maine, I came across this unique thing. Can you guess what it is?

You should probably have also blanked out the "Bi-autogo" part of the sign, you made it too easy to guess....
What is up with the spark plugs? There are red-capped plug wires and uncapped ones. They're in a R-W-W-R-R-W-W-R pattern, making it look like intake versus exhaust valves? Or is this really a twin-plugged V8? --DD |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Wait! The red ones aren't spark plugs! Looks like hard lines. Maybe some sort of injection? Water for head cooling? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
