[Spridgets] Which one?

[Peter C]

Michael,
         Without being able to pass judgement on the quality of the 2 
engines or their condition, all being equal I would lean toward 
building the 67-69 as it should have the hardened crank and the cool 
rods. But, then again if either parts were substituted in its last 
rebuild, then it's a horse apiece.
         So, the luminary Mr. Zoom is correct, not the blue one.

   Oh, and I'm in Westconsin
