dude - I'm talkin' about the Mallory spec sheet. I'm thinkin' about sending them an invoice for Bubba's time, along with a photocopy of the...
Model A's have the same thing - right on the steering column. the idea has merit if you were to eliminate the centrifugal advance - but that...
Well...I'll speak for him. turns out the dizzy ran perfectly... Backwards. The centrifugal advance weights were in backwards and the ignition...
Umm...since my engine was an 8BA, it didn't come with a crab, it came with one of them crappy ford bevel drive units. After studying the bevel...
Let's get a bill of materials going as a sticky - let folks cover and/or provide parts as needed. I've got a set of gauges I can kick in - if...
Umm... there's more to this topic than what's been posted so far. There are two types of vac advance - direct acting and reverse acting....
Yup - I know that; they're open.
I've not replaced the coil - yet. You're right - the motor is operating like it's got a bad coil. Frankly, I'm completely irritated at this...
I had the carb completely apart; the emulsion tubes are indeed open - I could blow air thru 'em. I didn't run it with the air horn off; I...
It's funny you mention that; was shown a pic of a H&C dizzy which ran two condensors. Guess I'll beome a parts swapper and buy some more stuff.
Well... I found a condensor of indeterminate flathead origin laying about the garage - decided to toss it in and see what happens. inspired, I...
You don't need the big bird, the smaller version will do just fine. There's one rated at a 15,000# lift (if I recall right) and the last time I...
Yah - what Flat sez. I had an engine that appeard bad (low compression in two holes) and after tearing it down, the only problem I could find...
Thanks, Flat! The coil is a new Standard Auto domestic built coil - I went with the best one they had as opposed to the cheapo foreign coil....
yup. Along with what Flat ernie sez, the motor's a 258 with a 400 jr cam; long duration high lift. not much vac signal at all; have fouled three...
I ran the new Mallory with dual points on account of I wanted to avoid probs outta the box...also, this is a 6V system which precludes using an...
Jim - I think I'll take ya up on that. Will look for your address and ship it out tomorrow.
Jeep - What Z and Ian said. When you're dealing with a crack, the point of the crack is where stresses are concentrated; thermal cycling will...
Actually - I had guys pay me to beat the shit outta the body with an axe. This one guy (who I won't mention a name) was so ape shit crazy he...
I'd pull yer chain with a gas powered winch......
Nope...think about it. Guy's on a jobsite that's mostly mud and he needs to cut metal - what's he gonna use if he has to run it all day?
The prob you're going to run into is attachment of the unsplit bones relative to whatever driveline you're gonna run. Henry had about a half-dozen...
You can get the valves out with some fairly simple tools... I took a small prybar, ground out the center of the prong, and used it to compress...
Cordless electric sawzalls suck. No way I'd wanna be 7/8th's thru the job and have it poop out. Go rent a gas-powered sawzall. Cheaper than...
Guys - Got a nose mount Mallory dual point on the Track Roadster; after much carb T-shooting, I'm convinced there's a prob up there. dizzy is...
I had the ait horn off; PV is in the bottom of the float bowl. Rich mix also burns slow - you can see the result when dyno tuning as hp drops....
Interesting... motor DID idle better with a little air across all three carbs. After sorting out the motor on one carbie, I'll hafta try two...
Blower cams do have less overlap - and the duration on the intake is typically less, as you're relying on the blower to pack the cylinder on the...
Bruce - Keep in mind I'm running a 400 JR cam; spec idle speed is 1000 RPM. I can tell you from firsthand experience the stocker PV was open...
Cycling it manually is accomplished simply by pushing the valve stem down with your finger. on '94's, the brass section of the valve extends into...
