[AT] Allis Chalmers ED40 injector pipes

[Thomas Martin]

Ricardo refers to the cylinder head design which utilised the Ricardo Comet indirect injection:
The injector at 90º to the bore injecting into a pre-combustion chamber.
Buda engines in the early 50s used it, it was a setup that was prone to head cracking,
AC when they bought Buda in the middle fifties redesigned to direct injection.
Improved starting out of sight.

That tractor used the UK-built Standard 23C engine, with a modified head fitted with glow plugs. I have a friend who has modified his FE35 by the addition of glow plugs, but now the original pipes don't fit well, and leak.
