Technical *** November 2015 Banger Meet - Holidays are just around the corner ***

Thanks RussTee!

Glad you like it!
I have an update!
Went for a drive in my car for the first time with a Damper!
All my vibrations and rattles are gone, even at idle!!!!
Oh, and with the lightened flywheel. "Watch out hill climb competitors!"
It was a Day, Night difference!!!!
Joe

 

Update photo.

 

Nothing performance related for Ford Bangers is cheap. Your only other option is a b trans case with the V-8 gears in it.

Looking good Joe. Where's the video?

 

I did have a video of first start up but for some reason the video is messed up!
I'll take a new one when this storm has gone and I take it back out for a drive.
Joe

I just made a video!

Joe

 

I'm glad I made this video. I just noticed I needed to pull my brake line back up to the chassis...lol

 

Thanks for the video sandman. Great looking set up.

 

sandman sounding strong and responsive but watch bliping the throttle while ideling think of the weight of that flywheel speeding up and slowing down and what its doing to the crank.

 

Oh yes, that's why I never cracked it more than a 1/4 throttle!
I do have a 22 lb flywheel though!

 

Sounds good! I noticed your oil pressure and immediately wondered what you are running for a rear seal. Can you share which design you are using?

 

Sounds so sweet Joe!!! Can't wait to see it in person

 

Me like brrrupp, brrupp I bet it go udden, udden down the road real swiftly out-of-sight
not only that but it looks fast just sitting there.
Nice job

 

Holy crap! That video just made my day. That motor rocks. Thanks for posting it.

 

Cool video Joe. Awesome engine, sounds great, thanks for posting.

 

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Thanks

Thanks, I'm using a SB Chevy small journal 2 piece rear seal.

Thanks Tiny, I'll let you know when I'm ready for the 60+ mile round trip. (SOON!)

I got a laugh out of this! Thanks!

Thanks, Glad you liked it!

Thanks waxhead, I'm glad I made and posted this video!

 

Sounds good Joe! What cam are you running?

-Mike

 

Thanks Mike,
I'm running a M36 cam and the needle bearing rockers with roller tips have a 2 to 1 Ratio!

 

Gents, I am looking to install a Winfield S-BB-D carburettor in the not too distant future. What fuel pressure do you recommend? I have heard everything from 1.75 PSI to 3-4 PSI. What pressure are you guys running?? Thanks in advance.

 

Would an upgrade to 1932-34 brakes on a Model A be worth the effort? Has anyone driven a few cars to see if one stops that much better?

 

I have 33/34 brakes front and rear on my A. I think the stopping distance is about the same as Model A's but the big change is almost no fade. Remember the drums have the "lugs" for locating 32-32 wire wheels.

 

Thanks Steve, are all 32-34 front drums open, what some people call "Rocky Mountain"?

 

I run 2 to 2 1/2 normally have run up to 3 by lapping the float needle but car runs fine feeding dual C's at 2 to 2 1/2

 

Brakes I have fitted a Flathead Ted kit on the model A brakes on my Tee RP I can lock up all four wheels at 60 KM about 40 MPH I think this is good and dont think 33/34 brakes will improve that I allso use cast iron drums. Fuel presure with winfields I use about 3 to 4 pounds works for me.

 

Since I'm building a banger car I thought I'd post this here to infiltrate a bit. I'm hoping to make some mounts this weekend.
Cheers!

 

Love those V-Dubs....proof positive that some people have too much time on their hands!

 

Wow!
Those are amazing.

 

RussTee and Bill, thanks for the Winfield carb fuel pressure info.

 

apparently they took my VW pix ................ down
