Yup! Yur lookin at the CAD model of my S-B Winfield throttle barrel (cut in half of course), with an additional sleeve that would reduce down to...
Wuch y’all thinka my latest scheme to build a sleeve to reduce the B throttle barrel down to either A or AA (haven’t decided yet). It will...
Still here! Been working on everyone else’s stuff rather than my own lately. Kinda pissed at my car right now… but will get back at it soon...
Maybe yur on to sumpin… the V8 guys are payin good money to relieve their blocks like that!;) Gotta admit it ain’t pretty. Is that a crack right...
I’m only about 5-600 miles into these plugs… but haven’t been given any reason not to trust em yet. The only downside so far is that they aren’t...
Sometimes, when you want what you want, you gotta make what you need! Lookin good hotrodfil! I did the same with my Akron-Hed where the 1/2”npt...
If only I hadn’t bought 3 overheads in the last few weeks… and if only I had a model A…!:eek:
^^^^^^^^^ WOWZA!!! Lookin great!:cool:
I told my wife that you said I needed one of these. i wouldn’t mind if it came with the tube axle too:p [ATTACH]
The Riley is basically a plenum style intake with the carbs very close together. I made one very similar for my T (using Winfields) and am...
Sounds like you said supercharger…;)
I gather you have bench tested them? & They flow better than your charts suggested? The chart I have posted several times before uses the actual...
That’s the conundrum fellas… all the barrel bolt patterns are unique per size, so if I make a pair of A’s I still need adapters. Need a manifold...
So after chasing every unimaginable mystery problem, I finally have the Akron-Hed running strong thru the entire rpm range on all sorts of...
Just adding a clarification for us fellers with cool carbs… Winfield SR accelerator pumps are vacuum operated, so best to keep the choke
Blind threads are always a bit sketchy on a manual lathe… inside or out! Much less risky if you happen to have a carriage stop that kicks out the...
This dizzy came to me with an alternative centrifugal spring combination, scratches on the center shaft, and the rev limiter adjustment screw...
This is one of the Pertronix billet distributors for the air cooled VW’s, equipped with the Flame Thrower III ignition module. I’m told this is...
Just watched this video again but looked a bit closer at the Dyno results [ATTACH] 41 lb/ft of torque seems a little bit low… but 4639 rpm...
Agreed! He must have done some pretty serious work on that stock NH carb!;) Curious if the HP number was calculated to figure the HP at the...
Let’s just say that Pertronix tech support was less than helpful… I bent the inner flange up the .030” to match the other side, and moved a...
The rotor screws down over the top and becomes the upper contact surface, and there is a plastic button on the lower plate. Apparently, still not...
Just found that the center shaft flange is .030” lower on the side that is slipping the weight. Seems a little on the delicate side if .030” is...
Has anyone had trouble with the billet Pertronix distributors…? I recently put one of their billet VW dizzies in the speedster and am having...
Edelbrock makes a spring loaded needle set, not sure if they will work on this carb tho…?...
This was heavily considered prior to making the intake manifold. I was able to dig up many pictures of original race cars with sideways carbs,...
So much has been messed with on this thing… it’s almost like starting over! Now that I know it runs I can start buttoning everything up. Hoping...
Not sure how to do… try this; https://share.icloud.com/photos/0afx32Rr2VwSM_n1dLU0MEo5Q
Finally!!!!! Months of wrestling with 2 dead cylinders led me to trying to blame it on the carburetors, ignition, and even considered aliens at...
^^^^^^^^ Looks ready to run to me… run all the oil out the front that is! Good catch! Would have made a mess out of #1 rod bearing in a hurry
