Art & Inspiration Speed Equipment: Playing Favorites

Hey Ben, stuff shows up from time to time at estate sales around here. I'll keep my eyes open.

 

Grant metalflake steering wheel: check
Column-mounted tach: check
Moon pedal: check
Hurst shifter on a Muncie M-22: check
Polished M/T valve covers: check

 

Did I mention polished M/T valve covers?

 

Lots of great parts called so far.
What about wheels and tires? Cheater slicks. Halibrands, American Torque Thrusts, ET III's. Almost anything magnesium-raw or mirror polished does it for me. Same goes for front runner type (15"x4") wheels; Fenton Gyros, 12 spokes (15" & 18") and spindle mount Halibrands and Torque thrusts. Firestone implement fronts and dirt track rear tires.

 

Works for me.

 

^^^^ Looks like a little stagger goin' on there. (nice ride, btw)

 

So much to chose from...Hard to pick just three since alot of parts go so well togheter with another part but here goes...
Moontanks / Halibrand magnesium wheels / piecrust slicks
No specific order.

 

A vintage supercharger always gets my attention.
A big S.Co.T. or pruned 4-71 on an early overhead would suit me fine

 

I'm a simple guy and accordingly I've always liked to see finned alloy heads on flatties and finned alloy tappet covers on OHV's, polished or not.

 

I prefer to see a S.Co.T. blower on a flatty. In my opinion, the nicest looking blower ever made.

 

I like old valve covers MT Cal Custom and my favorite Corvette Script with Breathers
Stack Injection
Hurst Shifter

But I love a whole lot more

 

just got another magneto for the early Olds
this one from Beachcomber here on the HAMB
I had it on the distributor machine almost before it was out of the box
with a little cleaning and tune up this will make some very nice spark

I like magnetos

 

I like a Wico magneto, CRAGAR OHV with dual 97 Strombergs on a full oil pressure Diamond B

 

Love the Crager B. I'd like to see pics of the side drive Wico on a Cragar B like a buddy and I ran at the old Colton Drag Strip in the 50's.
