Here's how I did one out of stainless; I admire that one of hotcoupe a lot ! http://myplace.frontier.com/~wgmumaw/Dash/instrumentpanel.htm

There is a post on the HAMB for it to be Sept 15. See https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=248693&highlight=reliability+run

Be very careful if you leave out the tubing; the drawing for modifying the block shows a .250" plug installed in the port to the rear main. You may not have any oil to the rear main if you remove the tubing and leave in that plug. This kind of problem has been reported before when people have...

Not really automotive but here is a panel meter that reads 0 to 15 volts: https://www.jameco.com/z/AVM6015-Velleman-Analog-Voltage-Panel-Meter-15-Volt-DC-2-4-X-1-9_316603.html?CID=GOOG&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn_eQ-rDq2wIVAp7ACh367wFxEAQYAyABEgI_AfD_BwE

Here is a reproduction scuff plate with the screws in the vertical flange.

You should wire it like this; center terminal to the gauge, senders to outer term's. Switch is a SPDT On - On.

It's worse the longer it sits after draining; but the pressure always comes up immediately after starting. The pump works quickly turned by hand in a pan of oil. I attribute it to an...

Terry; could you possibly post that KR Wilson page as a PDF; its not readable as it is.

Do a Google search for " adding auto accessory fuse block ". With the battery in the trunk and the fuse block under the dash it would be prudent to have a fuse near the battery to protect the feed going to the dash. I would also recommend a fuse block that used standard automotive fuses like ATC...

I would recommend not trying to measure your coil current directly with your multi-meter; if the current is higher than expected you could blow a fuse or otherwise damage the meter. It would be safer to measure the voltage drop across the ballast resistor while the module is conducting. Google...

After the intake opens and then closes you are on the compression/firing stroke.

I have seen in Motors Manuals (or Chiltons ?) that Ford and Mercury used three ring pistons in 1953.
