The event has certainly been the highlight of the weekend for me the last three years! I generally try to get over there early and stick around long after it completes to chat with the crowd because I find that nearly everyone either knows someone with an abandon A or has one of their own and in...

I can be found hanging around in the background on a few of those... :eek:

I've rebuilt a multitude of them myself this past year. The ultrasonic cleaners work great on them as does letting them sit in an evaporust bath. It's amazing how many different variations I have found between the internal designs.

I ordered the O/D before I ended up with a Burtz Block. I've put about 1600 miles on the Block now and the O/D just arrived. If I had the block first, I most likely would not have gone the O/D route. The vast majority of the time I'm under 55, and the Burtz easily runs the higher speeds when I...

The latest oil pump modification update makes it seem like the original is sufficient without the volume change, but it would still at the least require the relief valve installed. If you're having trouble finding an oil pump, reach out to Leonard Nettles who is mentioned in the original post.

Hello Terry! Thanks for all of your time and what I consider an absolutely amazing product. I'd been quietly following your endeavor for quite some time and can't fathom the patience and dedication it must have taken to see it through. The interference I had was very minimal. The crank would...

Based on the builders guide and what I've seen on the facebook group, I'd believe the vast majority of builders, both home-grown and professional, are performing very similar measurements or at least performing other measurements that would reveal or indicate issues with the measurements...

I had actually started doing that with my build. I'm a nobody with nothing on my youtube channel except some track day events, but I figured it'd be worth throwing out there. I did everything at home in the garage with the exception of having it cleaned. I recorded hours of video documenting the...

I hate to say it as a fan, but I don't know that video comes across any better or does you any favors. I think the biggest unresolved issue in all of this is that the manner by which at least some of those measurements were taken and presented in the original video were not done appropriately...

My current wait is over 8 months now :(

I've been on the waitlist since the start of the year. I used to check-in every now and then to see how long the wait was going to be, but after the third time it was extended another 30 days, I figured I'd wait until they contacted me. Haven't heard anything in a few months now, so I'm not sure...

They're fairly straight forward circuits, so it's just a matter of isolating where the issue is. Assuming this is a 6V positive ground vehicle, I would start with the following. - Disconnect both coil wires - Connect negative lead of meter to black, negative wire coming from terminal block that...

I'm a follower of your channel, also 38, and under 50 miles from you. I think you're pretty spot on -- I am definitely the youngest of the groups I've checked out and a lot of their events are at times I just can't make with work. I try to hit as many shows as I can in either of my A's, but...

This would suggest some manner of bad wiring either to the coil itself, or from the battery to ground. If you're seeing less than 6 volts there or inconsistent voltage, I would check that you have 6 volts in the following places with the positive lead of the meter connected to a good ground...

Gotcha. It sounds like something is not quite right on both sides of the coil. The negative coil terminal should have a short, black wire that connects to the terminal block, typically on the drivers side. On this same terminal post, should be a yellow/black wire coming from the ammeter and...

I'm sorry, I should have verified what type of ignition switch and wire you were using, is it an original pop-out switch ignition or a replacement switch? Is the wire you are using an original, shielded conduit cable that inserts into both the distributor and the switch, or one of the modern...

Is the vehicle still 6V, positive ground? Where exactly do you have the ignition switch wired into the distributor? It should either be wired to the brass tongue as you called it on the base plate with the wire coming from the base plate going to the terminal on the points or it can be wired...

That's exactly right. I had picked up a few different sets of plugs when I installed the unit along with the 6:1 head, as I was expecting the possibility of some trouble. I also have my ignition system quite well sorted, so all proper gaps, new points, condenser, and plate wiring. It had...

I have the device installed in my '31 coupe with a 6:1 head and run 93 (US rated) almost exclusively. I was a bit concerned that I would need to add some additional adjustability through the lever when I set it all up, as most warned against the combination. However, I've not experienced any...

Amazing to see it made it despite all of the issues he ran into. I watch his channel all of the time and he has some good content of some antique stuff he picks up. Was glad to see a Model A make the list. Here's the auction link to eBay of the car he bought. Seems a little steep to me for...
