Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Kiwi Kev, Nov 10, 2006.

  1. bitchin work as always kev!!!
     
  2. NO LOUVERS/FLAMES ON A GASSER! Does that dist. machine set outside in the rain?????? Should i come and rescue it? I used to love setting up distributors on those machines at my friends shop at lunch time for my street race cars years ago. I still use only points on my cars, but haven't played on a machine since Christ was a baby

  3. I know a guy who has one of those at his house!
     
  4. That dist' machine is junk, it's missing alot of stuff. A friend of mine has a perfect one, same model. It sat in a University it's whole life with one distributor in it. It's in perfect, like new condition so mine is yard art and when I need to set up a distributor I head over to his house.

  8. Not much progress. I just shortened and installed the Steering column and connected it to the new steering box last weekend and it's going back to Vic's house for a while. I also made patterns for the traction bars so I can make them without the car here and install them along with the 9" rearend at Vic's. It will run stock rear leaf springs with floaters. Will post pics as it progresses.

    I really like that the car does not sit super high. This is the right way to do it. I am inspired to start my project.
