Just got the latest Early Ford V8 magazine and there is an article on Lawrie Kyte from Australia in there. Nice to see a "Barner" and his car in that publication.
Just saw this on Facebook Marketplace. Someone here might want to investigate. Pics look good. I clicked on it & nothing goofy happened; seems o k to me...
Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the barn
The Model A Ford was spinning a yarn
It told of roads all covered in snow
Full of deep ruts
But still it would go
Onward & onward at its driver's demand
Taking presents to children
Throughout the land
Santa couldn't make it
So what can i say...
O K gurus, the only way my 8ba with 6 volt pos grnd, Max 1 cam, Offy 400 heads & 94 carb runs good is using xr4 Ngk plugs & a 45k volt coil.
New wires and ign parts and gr8 fuel delivery. Any ideas....seems nuts to me.
Thanks fellas, mike
Seems to me, that i read somewhere that Harley Davidson has a 6 v bulb that can be used in 52/53 ford tail lights that has a brighter stop/turn filament.
Anyone know anything about that ? Tried the ones from Mac's, along with 2 other guys & they worked backwards....more China j---K. Thanks in...
This has probably been beat to death, but, can i use 140 instead of 90 in my 1952 o/d ******? It leaks a little & i'm think'n the heavier stuff may help . ?

I have a disabled friend with a 41 sedan delivery, a 56 panel truck[rough], and an 82 Durango with an H O 302 which is nice . He's talking of selling and wants me to do it since he can't talk very well. He's reluctant on the 41, but to me that is the attention getter. Suggestions PLEASE ...
Be careful of Melling cam/crank timing gear set. My engine builder got a miss marked cam gear and the stamped alignment dot was a tooth off. Be sure to check a new cam gear to your old fiber one to confirm correct alignment. My builder assumed he had a good part, NOT ! Engine ran, lousy ! He is...
How does an 8ba sound & act if valves are adjusted too tight? Lumpy idle & low compression? This is a fresh rebuild by a reputable builder. THANKS for any imput!!! mike
Does anyone have info on how to dis-assemble an 8ba fan/bracket asembley?
My bracket is toast & i can't figure how to get the fan apart to remove it...help...thanks! mike
Surely this has been covered, but......... Egge .030 over pistons in an 8ba with
Eldebrock 1115 heads, 3 3/4 stroke, 8cm cam...Yes or no???? Read some horror stories about Egge pistons, but my shop has already them??? Thanks a bunch ! mike
A while back someone posted a chart from vanpelts with all kinds of head info including combustion chamber volumes. I tried to find it, but couldn't. If one of you fella's could help, i'd sure appreciate it. Thanks, mike
