Technical *** June 2016 Banger Meet - Time for Crickets and June bugs***

I brought a four cal. Scintilla a couple months ago for a little less than US$100. AND an extra cap for $4.00. Not many people here use magnetos the market is slow for them.

 

Went to the National Automotive Museum in Reno Monday and saw this '29 that was said to be a reproduction of one of Bill Harrah's early cars.

 

Thank you for the photo..... gives me an idea on one of my projects

 

I don't know what you guys are running for an oil pump in hour pressurized A bangers. I'm leaving for the LARS show this Sunday. I'm driving the '29 with a Miller conversion. The oil pressure has been a point of discussion with a buddy that is going along. He showed up with this today and made me install it.
Modified V8 pump. Well see how it does. Don't have any miles on it yet.

I use the same pump . works good . setting pressure is under safety wired nut on shaft . really a good pump .

 

That is encouraging, thanks.
Yes, added a spacer under the relief to lower the pressure. You can see it if you look closely. I've been running a modified A pump that has shortened V8 gears in it. This pump has 30% taller gears. Should have more volume.

ive got mine set 25# . the nice thing is it doesn't change with heat or rpm . good luck

 

Been using the V8 pumps for years normally set them 45-50 psi

 

Hi! What year is the pump?

Nearly into the 100mph club with a vintage 4....

 

The pump is a highly modified V8, I forget the years.
I too have used them, they work very well and no external bypass is necessary.
I see Cliff around the For Ever Fours events and I think has another batch in the works.

Many thanks for the reply!!

made me install it
curios , how did he make you install pump ? take g/f hostage ? LOL

 

I have started messing around with electric water pumps. You can hide them anywhere and run a "Dummy Pump"

Some of my stuff is thermo-syphon

Do a Goggle some of these pumps push a lot of water and are small.

 

We put one of the electric pumps on Pop's Rutherford OHV and it works great!!!!

.

 

jimski , your a wealth of info

 

Are you using the auxiliary pump from vw/audi or one if the aftermarket ones?

 

I have put these in the bottom hose of a couple of Ts they move plenty of water

 

Verycool!!

Details, please! 6 or 12 volt?

 

I will be putting this old Halibrand 201 Culver City together as soon as the new bearing/shim and gasket set comes in!
The center section/ring gear, now has the Richmond locker installed and the bells/axle tubes machined for the seals and later style bearings and push in spline axles! They have been sandblasted and powder coated gloss black. They will be using the same 1940 Ford juice brakes.
Yes I'm building 2 Halibrand 201's! This one here is the earlier one that I'm holding up with my foot on my quote! (I HAD TO ADD THE BLING BLING!) The one in the box is a later casting 201 with a little more meet, It'll go in my 34 5 window!

 

I just got this link in my email!

 

Cool, thanks for sharing.

 

The one I pictured is out of a '53 with the pressure relief

 

It is one of Cliffs pumps. He is a wealth of information. Been getting the banger ready for the drive to the Los Angles Roadster show, going to try and make it by to see him. He says that 'this one was his last one' that he is having a hard time getting cores.

 

Well we banged all the way to California and hear some eye candy for you guys that the early Ford Store of California and San Dimas

Here is the proof. The banger ran 70 mph most the way.

2 questions
1) what color is your roadster ?
2) what changes to run 70mph ? rpm ?
nice cars

 

The '29 banger is metallic blue

It is a Miller OHV conversion, B block, full pressure oiling. '32 transmission with '48 truck gears. 2.22:1
Ford 8" .

Guessing 2400 - 2500 RPM at 70 tires are 28" tall

Thanks

Wasn't there an article recently in FAST that showed how to modify a V8 pump for use in a four?

 

ok . I thought it might be the pink (?) one
