Another 8BA motor I got had a dead mouse in the lifter valley but no way that one was going to ever run....It's now a table base at my son's...
Mac, thanks for the tip
What about the ring gears? do they interchange between the 59A flywheels and the 8AB flywheels? I think the 2nd 8AB flywheel I have has a bad ring...
Thanks RMR&C, I never knew that. I do still have the flywheel and I have another one that came off of another 8BA so I can compare after I dig it...
Last time I tried that I broke an axle key...... My fault, the nuts were not very tight, after lapping the side that broke and torquing, I may be...
A few years ago I picked up an 8BA motor and just last week I started taking it apart to see what I got. When I removed the crank I took it out...
+1 on using a serpentine belt, that was the best thing I did to my 9' South Bend. The only bad thing about buying your first lathe is now you will...
Thanks, I did not think of screwing it in a threaded hole.. I'll have to go down to the garage and see what holes would work.
On an engine with a cast iron block and heads with an aluminum intake and brass radiator should some type of anode be used in the radiator to...
Thanks all for the ideas, I have searched the internet and the best I have found is other guys looking of the same info. Mac Tools was no help...
Yes, DMV is the worst, just think of it, Dmv is so bad that it gave birth to a whole new industry, the private Tag/Title company. Just think of...
Does anyone have a user manual for a Mac Tools ET985 dwell meter/tach/engine analyzer ? I picked up one at a swap meet and it does not have the...
Maybe, but.... I guess the final ratio is what is important here, how much petal movement to how much fluid is moved. But here comes the but...
I would get the 2nd block checked out and if it needs less work/money to get it running use it. About the value issue, save the original block so...
Is that not what I said? the switch is closed when the belt/latch is not latched? I'm very sorry but I just want to understand. Maybe we are not...
so the switch is "closed" when the belt is not latched and "open" when the switch is latched, is that what you are saying? That sounds like this...
I have seen some different recommendations for settings also what are the lowest? I think mine are at 1& 11/32" or a little lower and I would...
The float level was too high and with the float bowl in front the fuel would "spill" over and come out of the discharge nozzles. At least this is...
Just to be sure, is the fuel that is dripping from discharge nozzles on the primary carb? or secondary carbs? I have had this problem with my 3x2...
Bump, has the clamps for cables but no shoes
Yes, check you tube under Mart's Garage. I think he has a few of the French engines. I think they have a governor that is driven from the rear of...
Yes you can, and it is fairly easy. Somewhere not long ago there was a post about doing it and it was just what you would think. Take it apart,...
I don't think positive or negative ground makes any difference with the coil failing. You do have to connect the coil primary the correct...
On My Model A with a Y block, I also burnt up a couple of coils. The car has been on the road for 11 years now and the first coils burnt up about...
I have an under dash radio that is "branded" Firestone made in 1949 in my '46 International pick up. I would have been nice to find out what it...
Just a week and a day to go!
Thanks a lot man! That tells me what I need. Not too long ago there was a thread that someone had showed one of these, not the exact same thing as...
I think I saw a thread that showed a tool to help adjust the float level on Holley 94 carbs. What it was is a fitting that screwed into where the...
True
I see your point, just look at what Iron Trap Garage is doing, They just brought back two 26' box trucks from the mid west, ALL OLD CAR PARTS....
