Observations From Dyno Day

Post by AndyClary » Mon Mar 23, 2026 9:55 am

We ended up checking eight cars, I’ll just opine about the “standard” T’s. One car has a stroker crank, A manifolds with a zenith carb and a Z head. This was built for cross country touring and pulled 28HP. The other five cars were very similar. All had been rebuilt at some time and were in good mechanical condition. Three had Z heads, one had a Prus head and one was a 15 with a standard low head. The low was a tick under 18 and the high was a tick over 20. I would consider this to be about normal for your average modern T built for touring.
