Thanks for the kind words,
now for some porn?!? this one did 179.5 mph at Bonneville last year while burning out the valve seats.

 

just amazing

 

What head is this one now John? Fantastic.
The water pump on the Dodd looks similar to a Dan Price one.

poshdbs,
I think you are right Dan Price might make that pump.
This head is a highly modified Moller casting. It is a monster, I sheared off the driveshaft in the dyno with it.
Needless to say, it only goes down course anymore and I just work on refining the tune from there.

John

Farewell banger friends. It was fun while it lasted.

 

Did the banger sell yet?

 

You probably got your clamp ordeal taken care of already but another place to find that type of clamp is on some old oil bath air cleaners ...some are flat but I have had some that were V shaped..here's kind of a cool one if a quik release would help, this one is from dairy farm milking equipment.
The small one with the thumb screw is a aircraft one.
And then the flat band type.

@railcarmover got a guy interested and said he’s coming for it this weekend. We’ll see.

 

Heres to it happening,you can sink the dough in hopping up the flattie...its never enough you know,its just like doing dope...

 

Oh I’ve already got stuff coming. Sharp heads, a cam and dual carb intake.

 

No, that's an A-6019-BR cover which was supplied to service for Model A's after 1932 Model B production began.
On the B timing covers, the timing pin hole is higher.
You can time an A engine with a b distributor with an A timing cover though.

 

Pretty close to coil bind there.

 

upper neck,repop 28/29 radiator..soldered in crooked,the solder barely held the right side in.Fix that original radiator,I've had good luck back flushing them with an industrial hot water/chemical pressure washer, saved a few that way.

 

Na, can go another .050
Those springs couldn't keep up, went to the 1.6 dia big block springs and picked up some revs.

All good, hey did you get your block yet?

John

 

December 2019 banger thread is open. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/december-2019-banger-thread-hey-santa.1175493/

 

"soon"

At this rate, Terry Burtz's project will get one to me first.

.

 

Looks to me like a Cragar on Dan Prices web site.

 

Thanks, I hope to be sorted on this. A guy on here is sending one to me.

 

I made a jigg to copy the B hole on a A timing cover. Can´t find the picture right now, but from the edge of the A´s thread hole to the punch mark for the B thread hole, it is 0,231"
and from center of the A´s thread hole to the punch mark, it is 0,375"
