*MrModelT and Powerwagonmaniac build a T speedster in 6 months!*

Just keep a jar of this stuff in the shop and you can refill the system.

 

LOL....What I want know how do you plumb it back in?!

 

Just a quick, but big update....the "Special" engine has returned!

For some reason....I can't post pictures right now. Will have some up soon.

OK, I'll try and put this in order.

First, use the diagram to find the point of smoke leakage.
Determine the leak point as shown in the second picture.
Connect the replacement smoke canister using the approved connecting lines.
Then pressurize using the Lucas factory supplied pumping mechanism.
Check the system for visible leaks and only use approved Lucas replacement fuses.
I hope this information will help in you quest for a well functioning electrical system.

 

Apparently you've worked on a few British cars! That wiring schematic is spot on!!

 

*UPDATE*
A personal touch....

As we draw closer to final assembly on the "Special's" new heart, we are taking the time to really refine the car much as I did when building and assembling my roadster last year. From the new Autopulse fuel pump, the new wiring to the detail work coming for the motor, it will be a far prettier package when complete....not that it wasn't before

One of these little "personal touches" that will really make the car the second time around is this little piece that Chris whipped up Wednesday afternoon. Originally we ran a simple NAPA air cleaner on the Holley 94 I built for the car, but we wanted something more...fitting.

Chris was inspired by the classic Maund Speed Equip. Velocity stacks...



...but we weren't to crazy about having on in aluminum. So Chris took to the lathe and cranked this out in an afternoon.....in Brass to match the car









Hopefully we will have some major progress to report this weekend.....motor assembly begins

Stay tuned....

*UPDATE*
The Motor is in.......

So I was up at the shop yesterday with Troy to pick up my T and transport it home.....and of course the battery was dead. With it charging and three hours to kill......we did this:





Later that evening, Chris found the surprise Troy and I left for him and got a few more things done...

Bands..


water tube..


He also started working on the Copper Spark Wire Loom..


He did a nice job belling the ends..



More to come!
