Re: Anyone know this engine builder????
Jeff, ask your local public library if they have the old R.L. Polk city directories for that town, and then check the reverse address lookup or the classified section. If they don't, ask which public library might have them.
Amazing what you can find in those old directories.

Re: Anyone know this engine builder????
There was an MSR franchise in Milwaukee on Loomis Road, maybe 1971-1974 or so.

Re: Anyone know this engine builder????
Does anybody remember the names of the people at MSR? And I believe that had a location up in the Waukeagn area too.

Re: Anyone know this engine builder????
Gary Baker sold his ownership to partner Peter Miglin after they moved from Des Plaines to the UOP Shadow Facility at 400 Lively blvd. in Elk Grove Village Illinois. He and Bob Olson are still at the Moorseville facility. They both are friends, and have been since the mid 70's. Great people, and VERY good with L-88's. Peter had a 69 JL-8, crossram Z-28 in the early 80's.
