About the Author
Ed Almquist wrote the world's first widely circulated hot rod how-to manual in 1946 and became the mail order icon of hot rodding from the 1940s through the 1960s. Today, many of Almquist's inventions - such as Sparkomatic plugs, floor shifters, and wear-proofing lubricants - are still in use on both road and track.
