I think Speedway was making one for awhile I don’t know if they still do or not. I tried one of Dicks kits and it worked okay until I twisted it...
I’ve had the same small Denso tractor alternator in use since 2005 it has to have 60K miles on it by now. I think it puts out 35-40 amps. While...

I’ve driven a few Flathead cars all with factory type 3speeds and I gear them around 3.00. I’ve had no problems driving them all over the...
I did yesterday it was my birthday and each year going back 15 years or more, on my Birthday Bob would always send me a PM on here wishing me a...
I have a 1965 green dot C4 in an off topic 1965 car. It leaks significantly, but only while it’s parked. I have already replaced the bushing, seal...
Nice score! I bet it was a pretty hot little unit back in the day.
Thanks for the reply. With the new start/Safety switch wire installed it’s all fine again. I’m relieved to know that that purple wire doesn’t...
No the only relay that is on the fuse box is the horn relay, there is no resistance by pass circuit on this one. It has a points to electronic...
I guess it’s possible, but it’s all bundled together nicely doesn’t move, and runs through a grommet.
I don’t either, but I didn’t make the harness. It’s a Rebel harness and it’s worked flawlessly for 12 years and about 60K miles. I’ve used about...
No, that’s the problem the purple wire is dead before it gets to the pressure switch.
There is no neutral safety switch to adjust, it’s a standard shift car with a hydraulic clutch. When I built the car I put a normally open...
I’m having an issue with my harness ( I think it’s a 9+3) that I installed in 2012. It has worked as it should for many years until recently I...
Sounds like a great project.I don’t have it anymore but built an AV8 coupe several years back, I was lucky and it turned out pretty nice. It...
I was just wondering I drill mine for that too but I have had an old race Flathead that had keyed lifters in it. I was just wondering if someone...
Just curious, are the holes you drilled for keyed radius or roller lifters or just to hold the lifter from turning while adjusting them?
Hang in there Tim!
Any more info on this event? Is there a swapmeet? Show? Or is it just a nostalgia drag event? Anything pre party?
Thanks I appreciate it. It all seemed to be good there was no sign of high temps up at the top of the post at the connection or inside the cap at...
The inside of the cap actually looked normal as well as the rotor and rotor button in the cap. I changed out the generator part of the mag, the...
I’m glad you chimed in Jim, because the only place that appears to be affected is that 1 post wouldn’t that indicate the resistance is in that...
See, this is my theory as wellit seems like it has to be “Downline” from the post and that’s all that’s “downline”. I’m gonna go ahead and swap...
That’s just a safety-pin clip that prevents the cap fasteners from backing out.
It’s all new this season, the generator/ cap/rotor wires ETC … we used the same drive. I think we have 11 nights on it. I’m not sure what...
If they were open they possibly would. If we can get some opinions today it would be helpful, We would like to go racing…
Weird thing happened last night, I’ve never seen before like this. This is on an Off Topic modern Sprintcar but I figured the Magneto part is...
Coming from an open wheel dirt track background, I LOVE the idea of an old Super Modified style car. The center steer really isn’t that big of an...
If you are serious about running it , you should have the pump sent off to be flowed. You will get a flow sheet back that shows the pressures at...
I ran a single keyed small block snout with a billet steel hub on a 331 (steel crank) @ 6% overdriven, but on a 471 using a 2”Gilmer belt. It...
