I have no plans for a power adder.
Long way to go. About halfway through the paint and body. Here’s some shots of it in white epoxy. I plan to paint it Chrysler polar white (or...
Yes. Its one of the ones I pulled. Its a 56 F100. I have an original style headlight switch. The only fuse on it is for the dome light........
Thanks. I disconnected the alternator completely. The light remains lit. I even pulled each fuse with the Alt disconnected (thinking maybe I...
I've been trying to trace down a power draw that's causing me a dead battery (pretty quickly). To trace the draw, I am putting a test light...

Wow. Thank you all.

No problem. BTW, I was born and raised in Massapequa.
Thanks. Old Brass case ones.
Used a 50s Plymouth radio delete for a switch panel. I kinda like it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Still here. Working on small, boring, things like door gaps and tank straps. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

If you do want to replace the wood after removal, I did a small tech on it just a couple weeks ago....
Lets try this again... Plan "C" [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks all. Yes they are.
Assembled to check for clearances and gaps and screw ups. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes it is tight. My biggest concerns are the bracket flexing and the small amount of belt contact area on the crank pulley.
Yes it does. Thats typical with this style low mount. (Hot Heads)
Spent the week on some smaller projects. A drop-down battery box for a group 51 battery. And a low mount for a denso alternator. [ATTACH]...
Is 10:1 but otherwise mostly stock. 500 CCA but 650 CA. Its a group 51 battery. I am wanting to keep it under the dash, so size is my biggest...
I'll throw in my vote for the Alpha (or primeweld -- as it seems like the same thing). Been using it for a couple years no issues works fine for...
I'm hoping to use a group 51 battery on my coupe. Its 500 CCA. I was using a 700 cca on a test stand. It always started effortlessly. I'm...
I do not believe it is needed. I'm sure it provides "some" additional structural support, but I did it to retain the beautiful look of the wood.
