My "A" was a 48 all fuel.  It was good to blow white smoke rings when under
full load.  An interesting note.  It never stalled out but instead spun out on
kerosene.  Has a very distinct sound on kero under load.  Had a very good
discussion after the pull with a group of tractor drivers after the pull.
None had ever tried kero in a pull.
