anyone have a pic of Wayne jimmy six cover? or a engine with one on it? I did the traditional searchs and found nothing... Tuck
do they say wayne in a center square? on top or the side? haha.. shit. I wish I could find a pic. im working on a illustration and just want it to look close.
here's some form the night prowlers catalog: http://www.execmall.com/Night Prowlers/Newerimagesa/0503.jpg. I think they're the same fit for the 261 gmc, but not sure. jon
Tuck, there is a difference in the Wayne covers. Looking at pics of Pat Ganahl's "pickle" Iacono Dragster, with the original 12 port in it as a reference. Jimmy 12 port Wayne covers have a circle in the centre of the valve cover, with Wayne arranged twice, one north-south, the other east west, with a common "A", as in the side plate as pictured above. The repops for a std head, has "wayne'' in a square, as does the cover for the 12 port for the Chev six, except the 12 port cover is 3/8" narrower than the Patrick's repop and doesn't fit. hope this helps.
it does help... im doing one up with a 12 port wayne head... and 5 carbs and wanted it to look the part. thanks for the help, learning new shit every day! Thanks Tuck
Bluto, not trying to hijack this post, but is that an older style Mallory dual point distributor? Does it have vacuum advance or mechanical? And finally, is that a tach drive cable exiting on the left hand side? Sorry for all the questions but I've never seen a dizzy like that on a Chevy or GMC 6. Anyway, thanks for any answers!
QM I have spent my life looking for crap no one has ever seen If you look in the Wayne catalog you will see the Stewart Warner Tach drive They were also used to trim govenors in stationary engines I found two of these in oil field junk 15 years ago The Dist is a NOS Mallory I put a Petronix in it Replaced the Vertex mag it came with It's mechanical advance Anytime you want to ask a question feel free
That is a neat looking distributor! The reason I ask is I think I may have a lead on one just like it for my 235. Do you remember what model Pertronix you installed? I checked out their catalog pdf but it looked like their units didn't go that far back (for the older style Mallory's) Thanks again... sweet looking motor.
The Dist that fits the drive is not the one that fits the Chevy or GMC but Mallory does make a tach drive Dist that all one piece I made one fit my Packard. There is no Petronix kit You have to make it fit
