Chris, all Citroens from 1955 on had aluminium heads with hemispherical
combustion chambers and thus centrally located plugs, including my 1966 H
Van.

French motors were/are great, which is why Toyota copied them when designing
their first four cylinder R motor.

I considered early Toyota too.  Can you find the name on the carburetor
Roger?  That would clinch it.  Or if I went into the attic for my Motor
Book!  :)
