I would make an additional alteration to your alteration, in that the red wire from the alternator side of the ammeter should go to the opposite...
I'm replying to this since you seem like you might be the guy to help in my situation. I do like the idea of the diodes and understand the concept...
Hey guys, Trying to wrap my head around bypass type wiring for a Ford inductive ammeter. I am wiring a '50 Ford from scratch, changing to 12v neg...
That's quite a compliment, thank you! We're just doing the best we can with the tools we have. I hate to use the phrase "cutting corners" as such,...
@squirrel Here's a couple pictures of what I'm working with. The frame has nuts welded inside the rails in the factory '32 locations, which is...
Just wondering what some opinions are on whether or not crush sleeves are necessary in my application. I have made some subrails for my roadster...
I've installed lots of lap belts in cars over the years. I typically use the giant washers and shouldered bolts that they come with and *knock on...
I just wanted to run this by everyone and see if I'm on the right track. I've set up lots of engine/teans combos in various applications, but this...
Thanks for all the replies! I've decided to go with a set of 2" ones, as those will do what I want them to do, and also help fill up the engine...
I have an Offy 4x2 intake for a 348 I'm working on, and I'm wondering if carb spacers would have the same benefit here as they would with a single...
Squirrel you are the man! I appreciate you taking the time. I actually got ahold of two different third members, one has a short yoke and the...
That's what I needed to know! Thanks Squirrel! You are correct, the important measurement is axle center to U joint center. I already know the...
I'm sure ethis info is out there, but inswear search engines are getting harder and harder to get good answers out of them... Anyways, I'm...

Yes!!!! That's the one!!! Totally wild car, I think it's just super cool seeing that kind of ingenuity. Thank you for posting that, now I can...
Earlier this year I came across a video of a roadster, I believe at El Mirage, that was running what I remember being a Model A four banger with...
Too bad there aren't any license plates visible in that pic... I'm sure there are few dozen towns in America called "Peoria". There's a town of...
Here's an update! Dried several variations on soak time, on both fresh blasted areas, as well as an area that I rubbed down with a red...
I'm going for more of a mag-ish look. I have oiled a pair of slot mags, and it does look good, but I want a little darker than that.
Just thought I'd share a little experiment I did last night. I have a pair of 5-spokes that I wanted to darken up since blasting them made them...
Ah, thank you, man! I didn't see those posted in the other thread. That clears a lot up! New cap and rotor on their way now.
That link is just as I said, all the old three-digit numbers with suffix. This unit I have is newer than that, and the part numbers changed format...
I picked up a Mallory 2648201 recently, and I need some parts for it. When I see parts listed for different series, is this referring to the first...
I put my '60 Biscayne together in the spirit of mid 60s street racers. She's got a 331 Chevy, all late 60s/70s hop up goodies under the hood, M20,...
That looks really nice! I think my biggest qualm with them is just as you stated: they look a little modern/cheap... so far I've only seen one car...
I understand how to mount them. I'm looking for photos of them on a car, and general opinions of them. Mostly I'm unsure how I'll like them...
Does anyone run a set if these aluminum smoothie windshield posts on their T roadster? Or have pictures of a car with them? I'm trying to figure...
I saw it at the Haifley's 4th of July party last summer, but didn't realize the history of it! The original RR was just barely before my time (for...
