    No news here - had my father in law stay with us for a few days - Gee that was fun.

    Anyway, I loaded him up in the coupe and took him around our suburb and for coffee. He is one year younger than the coupe.

    Where can I buy a good set of points and a replacement modern dizzy cap for a B?

  24. It's kinda of a case of "Pay Me Now; Or Pay Me Later!" Years ago, when I was trying to push B motors with three main cranks; I broke several engines (including cranks, rods and pistons)! Many dollars later I went to five mains, Cunningham rods and JE pistons! I would have saved a bunch of time and money had I done it right in the first place.

    @winduptoy Sorry to hear you didn't make it to the RPM Nationals. It was a great event with lots of banger action. Trying to add a link below to the Youtube video I posted of my pics. There are a few v-8's in the pics, but most are bangers.
