  5. Ok, I shouldn't point out the error. That level of modeling is truly impressive. Look at the Comet. What's wrong?

    OK, I'll play. Is it that both of the Holley carburetors have chokes?
     
  7. Aren't they mounted backwards?

    No, that is the way Ford did the two fours on the FE engines and even the 406/405 HP tri-power had the carburetors mounted that way.
    If they had a reason it’s unknown to me.

    Distributor clearance......;)
    By mounting the carbs backwards, there was an extra?????... .625" (5/8s") clearance for the dizzy cap because the carbs didn't have a metering block on the secondaries... 20985621-270-0@2x.jpg IMG_0488-640x480-1.jpg

    The most obvious thing I can see that's wrong is... it's not mine. Ha!

    Stellar work...

    The small block Ford 2x4 intakes were the same.... 4160 Holleys mounted ass backwards.....:)

    Good to know. Glad I hadn't ordered the Edlebrock carbs yet for my 2X4 intake going on the 289 in my '40 coupe. I'll probably run the Holley 390 carbs. Otherwise I was going to have to run Edlebrock 500s.
    I ran a Holley 390 on the Flathead in my '50. It was on backwards because of linkage. When any one would point out that I had the carb on backwards, I would say "No wonder it's so fast in reverse." Ron

    It will depend which 2x4 manifold you have Ron. There were dual quad manifolds sold by Ford for the 289 that would only fit Carters because the spacing was too close, with Edelbrock and Offenhauser intakes the same way. There was also a different Ford manifold with the carburetors spaced further apart for inline Holleys and it sounds like you have that one.
    This thread has gone way sideways, from scale models to 1:1 cars.

    @41 coupe,

    Very nice, dig 'em all. Especially the Grand Sport & the E-Type coupe.

    I have a 1/8th scale E-Type coupe kit that I'm converting to an E-Type Lightweight roadster. I'll need to drag that one out again soon.

    Happy Eve of New Year's Eve...

    I didn't know they had a V-12 34 ford coupe kit in the 70's or 90's.
    I may have a 34 Lincoln hood and possibly a 34 ford V-8 hood

    This kit is based off the Monogram coupe/convertible kit from the mid 60s and had a stock body until the ZZ top coupe came out in the 80s which this one is base off of. The V12 came from the Monogram 41 Lincoln kit and I do have the 70s streetrod convertible kit but its a glue bomb and someone glued the hood on and might break trying to get it apart.

    I finished this one up New Year's Eve. I spent the last week of the year with a head cold, finally feeling a bit better. This roadster is named LaVerne, in honor of my grandma, who hated purple. I'd like to build a full scale version someday! IMG_20211231_185300.jpg IMG_20211231_185039.jpg IMG_20211231_184945.jpg IMG_20211231_184923.jpg IMG_20211231_182429.jpg

    I got the sound equipment installed today. It actually sounds a bit more realistic now that it's in place.

    See and listen to it here.
    youtube.com/watch?v=5RdzHPs9XV8&ab_channel=arvbnb

    Funny thing is (from a galloping horse) the sound card and batteries, sort of look like an in-line six with three carbs. Not intentional at all, and you have to squint (really hard) to see this.

    I mounted this stuff on brackets & plates that are removable for easier painting and servicing. It was a bit of a challenge to fit all this gear under the hood, and leave enough room for the 9v lighting battery.

    The plan is for the sound to be activated when the gear shift lever is pushed forward. That'll be another day....

    Cheers and Happy New Year!
    David

    Wow....that thing is loaded.
    In the future ...when planning working lights on a build, look into fiber optics...one light source going many different locations....powered by plug-in power adapter , then just a receiving port and not a battery pack installed in the model.
    Of course that works better on a full bodied car, your creative enough I'm sure you could make it work for you.
    Your build reminds me of Christmas shopping ,now that it has lights and sound,
    When I would go down the toy isles pushing all of the "listen to it run and lights flash" buttons on the cars and especially fire trucks.....and I still do....well the ones that you don't need a app. for on your cell phone.
