I have the original manual with it. I will check the pages on those functions!
Right on! Mine seems to be 6V only. I got it powered up using the battery in the Model A, and everything seems to work fine. The breaker point...
Been watching this thread for years, and looking for some nice old Sun equipment. Finally found a really nice Master Motor Tester in great shape...
Seems to be the Distributor tester user manual! https://bama.edebris.com/download/sun/404/Sun%20404%20&%20504%20Manual.pdf
Well nothing new! Put down lots of miles in the car this summer. Still driving it until the snow hits here in CO. Oil burning is getting steadily...
I tried calling and emailing many times this summer to ask a question before buying a header for my Model A. Never could get a response, so I...
Finally grabbed a few pics of the pipe today. Had a ton of rain and shit weather lately so haven't had it out of the garage in a few days....
Thanks Joey! Your killer thread on your build during covid was my whole motivation to do one myself. Thanks again dude!
Easy bolt on. It dropped right in place of the original. I have a NuRex timing kit on the motor, so I just eyeballed it to get it started. Then...
haha sure. I don't think I took one of the complete pipe on the car. I'll take one tomorrow and post it. It's my favorite part at this point.
Got sick of adjusting the generator output for charging with lights. Switched to a 6V pos ground single wire generator. Works much better....
Finished up the paint finally. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well haven't updated since the spring, and been driving the shit out of the car all summer. Some more updates. Put on a cast iron header, sounded...
Right on, thanks. I will check out your thread!
Right on, thanks! What transmission did you use? I wouldn't mind swapping at some point. This car has always had a clutch chatter in 1st gear, I...
[ATTACH] Finished up some door panels. I also made some kick panels that match, forgot to take a picture. She's about ready to hit the road!
Thanks!
Hey Joey what are those brake hose covers called? I'm trying to find them on ebay for some motorcycle projects but no luck. Thanks!
Right on, can't beat bikes and hot rods. Thanks on the wheel color, I'm digging it too. The car is coming along and will be a lot of fun this...
Right on with the Ironhead! I run the same, Ironhead sportster, building a new chopper out of my Shovelhead, and loving my A. That's the recipe...
Been working on some old motorcycle projects so haven't done a ton lately on the car. Put the hood on and made up some hood straps from leather...
Been a little while, been making some more progress. Finished securing the top the supports, and cut in a back window. Used safety wire to keep...
Wow, that is killer. Really nice job. I wouldn't mind some ideas on how to the do the rear window, will get getting around to that soon. Will...
Got the top mounted for now. I'm ok with it but it could be better. I have plenty of vinyl left and will probably start working on a revision. It...
Thanks, appreciate it. I have not mocked up 17s on the rear. I do have a set of 17s, but have them for sale. I'm definitely sticking with the 16s.
Thanks guys! I love Joe Browns coupe, the look is killer. Definitely an inspiration for where this should end up. Love the aluminum top as well...
Love the coupe, this thing is killer. Great job on the top.
I agree thanks. I already sold the landau bars I had, I don't think they would like good with this thin vinyl top. I'm glad you used them though,...
Ya I agree, it's a good idea but I don't know how well it will actually work. Keeping this version cheap for now. Only into it for $45 for vinyl...
I had original plans to cut the window frames off, and eventually cut down the windshield. I'm glad I didn't, I think this will be cool and keep...
