I have been using a compact starter in my 276 c.i. 8BA for years now. I got it from Speedway. It is the one they refer to as "Stump puller". It has done a fine job for me so far. No complaints...

Thanks Ryan for a job well done!

That is truly an interesting intake. Denny, keep us posted on anything you happen to find out about it

Chris, that is truly sad, sad news. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Condolences to you and your family.

GB, I always heard that cross threading was Mother Natures Locktite! :rolleyes:

Yes, puzzles help. I do a crossword and a cryptoquote every day with my morning coffee.

This getting old is not for sissies!

I had a great time at this year's Swap Meet! The weather was good and the people were great. It's always a good time to be around folks who have the same interests as you do. Sold some parts and made it home in good shape! :D

I plan on being at Luray also. I've got V8 stuff for sale and Steve I should have some generator cores, too. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate!

Yep, that transmission tunnel will test your metal-shaping skills to be sure! But that's what these projects are all about.

Drove my flattie to Cars & Coffee this morning early and then drove it to a local car show. Just got home from there.

Yep, they are 91A's alright! Thanks so much for setting me straight. I plan on taking them to a swap meet next month and I certainly don't want to tell someone wrong.

I have had these in my parts stash for ages and thought they were '39's but a buddy of mine said guess again. The lens has the FORD logo. Can someone help?

New listing on Bring-A-Trailer for a French block and complete engine kit with lots of after market pieces. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/parts-72/

Rewinding one of those armatures is no mean feat in itself!
