I think he ended up getting the wires from Taylor. They are custom, as the spark plug tubes in this engine are only 3/4" inside diameter.
Tom is correct. The wires are Taylor and the spark plug ends are MSD that I cut 4 slots in the insulator cover with a milling machine so they would fit into his custom spark plug tubes. A very tight fit! An update on what the engine is going in. I have a friend who's a long time pin striper and all around great artist coming up with a rendering of the red ram in a Model A old school type drag racer.I have a 1930 sport coupe body sitting in the shop to use so , that's the start. Tony Nancy's 22jr. is the inspiration.So, I'm waiting on what he comes up with. More to come, Tim
Finally got it Lon..... just took a while being busy and such. Not sure if i will go the belt pulley route or keep it as is... I am(planning) to build a Red Ram for just this application.
Fast forward 3 years and all worked out exceptionally well…. engine is 0.40 over with ross blower pistons,a real carved clay smith cam,. … and other internal goods as well….4-71 and Rochesters run with perfection.Very very happy.
A 241-270 crank has more journal overlap than a small journal 327,383,400, 454 Chevy. The little hemi crank issues most likely came from the lack of a damper.
Jeff, Very nice coupe.....love the color too. Any style of a Dodge "Baby Hemi" is just sweet!! 32 Spitfire High Noon Speed Shop http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/street-rodder-features-my-32-coupe.945829/#post-10640018
A lot of good info. I've been learning as much as possible since getting this one over a year ago. We've solved a lot of problems and gotten it running good and cleaned up. I will continue to work on it this winter, and we should keep this thread going, I'm interested in learning more from you with the experience, thanks.
This is really cool to see ! I have run a 24i for years in my '32 sedan !! Great engine & I still have ton of parts !!! It's good to see the 471's on these little guys !!! More wind really makes them run!!!! Love it!!
