Hot Rod Friends

[Jim Parker Toronto]

It's nice, that if we can't compete with the prices the hot rodders are paying for cars, that we get their leftovers. By the way, all this stuff is AR from a Tudor CA 44xx, in great shape. All four drums have less than 0.020" wear. Transmission looks good, flywheel is excellant but needs a new ring gear. By the way, this is the first time I have seen "Made in Canada" 21" Goodyears.

Jim, excellent pick up! Just out of curiosity, was this a swap meet 'find', Canadian Craigslist, or in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time(pardon the hyphen abuse)?

No, it's just a hotrod friend that once or twice a year has to clean up around his place. Over the years he has been a great source for for some great stuff. Most of the stuff he dosn't want is the hard to find rare goodies. Last year got I two B carbs, two distributers, and a fuel pump with a rebuild kit. He spends a lot time touring the backroads of Western Canada and really does a nice job of what he works on. Told me today he has a Riley two port overhead valve set-up, thats why he kept the motor.

Jim Parker:

The multi-disk flywheel you have is in excellent condition. I enlarged the photo and could see no grooves worn into the ridges. Pure gold for someone who wants to put a multi-disk clutch assembly in their car. Most have deep grooves worn into them.

Yes, it is in near perfect condition, and it is available if someone needs it! I am running one in my Roadster right now and have done over 10,000 miles without even adjusting it. I find it very smooth!
