    Stromberg 97 help

    I have a large logo 97 that looks like it has been rebuilt sometime in the past due to how clean it is and it looks like it has been yellow dichromate refinished. However, upon disassembly I noticed that the bottom part of the venturis where it slides into the cast iron base has corroded at...

    59A Flathead Running Rich, Need Help

    59A Flathead that was built by someone else. This is what I was told that engine is internally: 276 ci Isky 400 Jr cam. It has a bit of a rough idle so it seems like it is a 400jr cam or least something comparable since I can't verify the cam without going into the engine. This is what I can...

    2N-8N-9N Tractor Starter vs. V8 Automobile Starter

    Is the tractor starter the same as the automobile starter? From pictures, they appear to be the same starter motor. If the starter motor is the same, then is the Bendix the same also? The reason I ask is you can still buy new starters for tractors in your choice of 6V or 12V.

    Does anyone have any pictures of the markings on a genuine Isky Flathead V8 cam? I was trying to determine if a cam is a reground copy by someone else or if it was a cam originally done by Isky. So far, I have only found a picture of a new cam that I am pretty sure is a genuine Isky that had...

    Champion J-3 plugs

    Anybody know what these were used for as in application wise to look up something similar that is new? The ground electrode is inside the steel shell, not in the usual location welded to bottom flat of the threaded section. Identical to this K-3 in the picture where they were being using in a...
