Any other suggestions?

So my battery has been moved to under the hood on the passenger side due to juice brakes installed. I hate it being there and would like to find another location. I have a slantback so it would be a pain to put it behind the back seat. Has anybody ever hidden a small Optimum 6V somewhere else...

Phone is 740-965-2515 (I know that wasn't directed at me)

I know and he want's $421 shipped for them. I called and spoke to him. His website is down. I told him about it and it is still down.

Anybody got one for sale?

Does anybody know who makes reproduction adapters for the KR Wilson Engine Stand? I just recently purchased one and although it has a Packard transmission adapter, it doesn't have the Flathead V8 adapter plate. There was a guy that went by 4banger in Ohio who made them but his website doesn't...

The Heyer machine shows Dwell in % and not degrees. Anybody know the conversion?

So I pulled my “37” distributor off the car. It’s a helmet, two bolt coil. Coil was recently redone by Skip. Car seemed to be running ok outside of not wanting to start when it got hot. I replaced the condenser. While i had it out, I checked the point gaps and it was way off. Driver side was...

I did check the Vacuum and lubed it. I was afraid to take a lot apart as it would need to be setup on a machine I assume.

Got my rebuilt coil back from Skip. He had a Ford script coil which was awesome. Got it put on and only had time to fire it up to see that it works. Need to get time to let it run awhile.

I’ve got a later distributor and coil. 2 screw coil. It did the same thing tonight. Warmed it up and tried to restart and nothing. Waited about 30 min and it fired right up. It stays running but if I shut it down and restart it will not fire until i let it cool down.

So I went out and tried to start again. Fired right up! So something is going on when it gets up to temp. I first thought vapor lock but I only drove the car easy a few miles. I found this over on the HAMB "Be aware that tired coils do about the same as Chinese condensers...power drops off as...

Update: I got very lucky and found a local guy Jim (JimTN). He is a super nice guy and a lifetime of knowledge. We figured out I had a weak spark going to the Distributor. Discovered the adapter on top of the distributor was not making a connection at the 6V terminal. Was able to get an...

I’ll be contacting you for some needed items. Glad to know someone is somewhat close.
