I have some exciting news for Looper treasure hunters. I've just confirmed that the last production B Looper that Jerry Waldman raced has been discovered, FB-206. The proud new owner wishes to remain anonymous, but did send me some excellent photos to share with you - as it arrived in the packing box.
Notice the early Mercury CD ignition distributor? Surprisingly, as you can see, it is in mint original condition.
I have various pictures of this engine back in the late 60's and early 70's during competition and also resting in the pits on one of Waldman's Marchetti hydros. The best picture I have of this engine is Jerry Waldman beating Johnny Dortch in the late 60's, I think it was at the Nationals in Alex.
Enjoy the photos. There will be more on this motor soon over at
