One way to avoid this is for an Australian to find someone going to the USA for a holiday or business. and have them take it over and post itonce there. I always have items I purchase on ebay sent to a Model T friend in California (postage is far cheaper than sending to Australia) My son goes every...

One last time.

May I ask where you obtained it? Just curious. Not many around.

And a fuse. See yellow to starter switch wire.
Necessary as safety glass IMHO.

I used a fusable link to make it a tad more stealthy.

Your going to beat me to paint Mark.

I'm still fixing errors from years ago, but I will finish this car.

Save that 10 gallons to reuse. Mine lasts about a year of dipping parts

Flush evaporust with plenty of water to remove any film.

Just let it air dry outside a few days days. Blow some air thru it.

This is what TCP coatings told me

Still digesting all this. I have a few weeks of stuff to do first.

The short answer from the land of only water based base coat clear coat is, that crap doesn't look right on older cars. IMHO. 1980 or so the fenders, splash, r boards, rad shell, blah blah we're Acrylic Laquer and color sanded/ buffed, look nice. (Still). A little touch up required. Easy with lacque...

There were Cooper cut outs reproduced at one point.
I'll see if I still have one.

Allan, I have an email sent to Evercoat to verify compatability.

So far, it is meant for bare metal, but epoxy primer first is okay. Self etching primer is a no no. I'll post what they respond

Make sure you have 4 qts oil in it, handle crank a few minutes to move the oil, and go ahead.

Mr Whiteman is spot on. Is it a PITA? Yes.
Stalling all the time is worse.

At least drain it, pull off the sediment bowl and snoop around.

Shine a flashlight in there. No drop cords.

We may never know… the average electric car ownership is currently only 3 years, compared to 12 years for gas powered. With the average car loan being 5-7 years these days, apparently the true goal of “clean propulsion” is to maximize consumer debt…?! I have a 2013 Volt . Runs and looks new. Nice c...

Just curious, have you guys EVER checked a block for cracks, and found NONE.
Yes it was a 1927 Model T Block.

That's great. That's one out of...........?

To me they have always been a crapshoot.

Just curious, have you guys EVER checked a block for cracks, and found NONE.

When I did mine, no one made them, so I rolled the dice. It had a crack, but I had it grooved out and welded. National Crankshaft reground it and a stock EE crank the same size as back up. Plan B They then did dynamic balance with rods and pistons, flywheel, blah blah That was 48 years ago. But, und...

Time will tell.

"Until you have to replace the clutch. I think the first part to go on the assembly line was the clutch, then they built the car around it." Heater core. But yes, C5,6,7 clutch is a royal PITA. I always tease my Vette buddies the torque tube and transverse spring design is 100 years old tech. :lol:

I would use .025" with timer/ coils.

With a distributor I would use .035".

With a magneto, I would start at .035", and see if it works well, If .030" is required, your mag is lame.

I don't see what carbs have to do with ignition.

Nitrophyl is the material now in Holley, Carter, Quadrajets, etc.

It's impervious to gas and alcohol.

Not an issue. Jeff

Okay Morgan, All 6v coils seem to be 1.5 ohms primary, which make since. 6volts/1.5 ohms =4 amperes. Two coils in parallel will give you .75 ohms load, so .75 ohms in ballast is required to limit the current to 4 amperes at 6 volts. Standard motors VC-14 seem to be the ticket. They are blue now, but...

.....and resist the urge to follow down every Rabbit Hole people will inevitably point you toward.

THIS ^^^^^

I cannot tell you how many times a thread on Corvette Forum starts with a bad plug wire, and by the end everyone says pull the engine.

It's just something stupid simple as Scott said.

I will also ask for the adapter and long reach plug if anyone has spares of either.

I just found one in my stash.

Lower price

The capacitor will probably need to be increased. Since coil inductance in Henry's is not published, we may have to experiment.

Points. You'll need two 3 ohms 6v coils and a 1.5 ohms ballast resistor. I'll draw it up.

(Your speedo cable shipped Monday).

Does anyone have a wiring diagram? Can I make it work with 6 volt?

Yes and yes. I'll try to draw one up this afternoon.

I don't see any oil grooves in those.

As stated, I bet the pins were changed incorrectly, or off spec.

Sorry that happened. It's a shame. At least it didn't grenade.

Had that happen after the hill climb one year. Noisy as all H***
Find a good flywheel with decent pins, and hone the bushings to fit. A stock car will be just fine. You'll need to rebalance the whole shebang.
My 2 cents.

My pleasure.

Found this picture. Pulled the ad for now. Thank you gentlemen.

Thank you Scott.

You will need a new flywheel and pins.
When the pins get loose, there is little you can do.

It does have a straight throat.

Just the one on my car. That one i cannot sell, but would loan as a pattern. There are no mfg marks on perfection stuff.
