I have run the motor on the primary plugs then swapped the leads onto the secondary plugs. It does still run but you can tell it lacks power and won't idle. I've not run both sets of plugs yet, waiting for the second dizzy to arrive in the post, but it's all ready to go. Pete.
Interesting.. I have thought of doing a similar conversion but by welding in a set of exhaust ports and making it an f head. Always wondered where the plug would be best located in that case. Guess it wouldn't be above the piston! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Definately some of the most amazing machinist/mechanic work I've ever seen! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
On any single plug engine, get the plug as close to the center of the cylinder as mechanically possible ---- you don't require as much spark advance at all RPM. Has anyone tried a Roto-Faze style of dual distributor drive? (not 4 and 4 on a V-8 but 8 and 8 on a dual plug V-8)
Every day I am more an more amazed at the creativity and craftsmanship here on the HAMB! Awesome thread- you just won the internet! Hope you post a video when it's all together! Matt
Fantastic work Pete. Pete's not only an accomplished machinist but a skilled metalwoker too. I love seeing his work but it does remind me I'm a hack by comparison. Dammit! Mart.
Wow... Precise machining, cast alum welding, general hot rod sorcery. True craftsmanship nutrocker. Bravo!
It always amazes me the talents and the craftsmanship of the members of the HAMB. Very very impressive!!!
Nice!! I don't post often but this gets me right there Respect M Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I'm a hack it's true, but the stuff that some of you guys do blows my mind! Absolutely fantastic from conception through to execution.
