Flaming River FR1001 Timing Light: I have a fried Q2 transistor in mine, so badly fried that I can't read the number to track down a...
Thanks. That's what it looks like.
How were the two halves of these gas tanks joined together along that seam? Were they welded? Brazed? Some other process?
Yes, every source I found for the infamous Bob Drake tank is out, hasn't seen one for a year or more, and doesn't know when or IF to expect more.
Have you replaced your '52, '53, or '54 Ford gas tank with either a domestic or foreign tank? Please tell me about the fit and quality of your...
Thanks. Hope you're right.
If I remove the fuel gauge sending unit from my empty '53 Ford gas tank, will I be able to see the inside of the fuel outlet or are there baffles...
Is there any way to tell more specifically what car it was in?
Excellent! Thanks for help on that. It's amazingly clean and tight and has a new-looking Standard Blue Streak cap and rotor.
Can you decode this tag for me? The distributor is supposed to have come from a late-'70s Jeep V8, but I'd like to know for real. Thanks.
Thanks, Bill. That's exactly what I plan to do. Your numbers are a huge help. Look for my e-mail. Cheers! Richard
Has anyone a long-stemmed clockwise DuraSpark distributor as was used in V8 Jeeps of the '80s? I really need some measurements from one. Here...
Actually, they're both blue. Looks like the 450X is the higher quality "Blue Streak" cap. I'll let you know. The Pertronix cap and rotor I'm...
I have a 1103375 HEI distributor out of an 80-85 Chevy 350. Do I need a DR-450 or a DR-450X cap? What's the difference>
Do you know of a sure-fire place to buy one? Rotor, too?
Can anyone speak from experience about the quality and country of origin of the Pertronix D4002 Flame-Thrower blue HEI distributor cap and rotor...
Can a '53 Sunliner body be mounted to a '53 Victoria frame and running gear?
Thanks. I'll explore that idea.
The factory number for the "kit" -- all four shoes -- is A9A2001. I'm looking for shoes with riveted linings, either NOS or remanufactured in...
Am I kidding myself? I'd hate to go to all the trouble of installing one only to find that I won't have enough vacuum to keep it working. Any...
Are there any important differences (besides price) between the Crane HI-6S inductive ignition and the HI-6 CD ignition?
Thanks. This is very helpful. I discovered that '80s AMC, Jeep, AMX, and Javelin DuraSparks all turn clockwise.
I found images on Google that clearly show clockwise versions but the engines weren't made clear.
Which DuraSparks rotated clockwise viewed from above? Did any of the long-stem DuraSparks rotate clockwise?
Or you can do something like this.
Thanks, Mr48chev.
Is there a no-coil cap available for the early '80s Chevy HEI distributor? It normally has the coil on the cap.
What's the diameter of the 1980-85 (I think) Chevy HEI distributor, the type with the coil on the cap? What's the diameter of the later Chevy HEI...
Thanks to all who helped on this.
Thanks. Wanna take a shot at this one? 1112846 3 K 25
