New Banger Block in the Works
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/new-banger-block-in-the-works.616056/

 

OK Now it's November and I am slowly back to working on engines.

 

good for you jim ....................... steve

 

Can anyone point me to posts/threads/articles/sources for converting an early V8 distributor for Banger applications?

I was revisiting the '40's hot rod thread and saw a pic of a LIFE magazine cover with a kid in a roadster...had a V8 divers helmet distributor on top of a Banger! So coooooool!!

 

Now that is something I have never seen
I wonder if there would be any advantage
did that distributor use vacuum advance

 

Checking in for the month.

Nice truck . Mine is my only car , but do have a moped & hugger

 

Checking in; one more weekend and I'll have the roof done.

 

WOW what a great shop

 

Yes! I did a couple of those as well, ha! Looks great!

 

News Flash - not really that fantastic a pic....have a pic of the girls on the old tractor when it didn't run....the news is that LK my great niece - the tall one - took ALL my old car magazines and my niece - her mother - confirmed she likes car stuff....only down side is she's in OKC and I'm in Big D....so kinda hard for her to help me change my plugs....there is a pic of her with my 40 Deluxe when she was about 5 some where....

 

copper is ez to work with & looks cool . I used on my steering shaft.... no column just shaft .

 

Umm is it the angle? or is there a staircase in the middle of your garage door?

 

Is this float:
a) Usable as is?
b) repairable?
Doesn't look like you could pop it out bay heating it up, Would either have to take it apart and hammer/press it out with a spoon, or fill it wit something that is not affected by the gas?

 

Funny, I have seen this picture a bunch of times and never noticed the dizzy. I feel so blind. Interesting.
