Re: Kr Wilson timing tool
Probably any 6v bulb that fits the socket. I would try dash gauge light bulbs. I have one of those (with no bulb) but never used it as I have a SUN machine.

Re: 1940 V8 Cam / valve timing
What distributor are you using? If it is a stock helmet, are you using a Haney rebuilt coil? If you are using an adapter with a round coil make sure it is not a really high secondary voltage one. ...

Re: 41 stock v8 flywheel question

Re: Ford intake with S
Looks like 2 vacuum ports like a 40 manifold has on driver's side too. Is that a dirty spot or another vacuum hole on the passenger side front runner pointing forward?

Re: engine stumbles under load
I have never used a "pertronix" but do they even need a resistor? There are no points to burn up. I have heard the electronic distributors don't play well with generators as they like a stable...

Re: Left ignition switch on
Send the coil to Skip Haney and the distributor to one of the people here that sets them up on machines and learn from your mistake. If it now doesn't have any voltage at the coil, replace the...

Re: Verify 1934 Ford Accessories, Please
Post the length of the shaft that engages the crank nut. There are several different lengths for different years due to how far from the grill it needs to be for it to reach.

Re: Help with a recent 8ba rebuild
I try to assume nothing but #1 on a flathead is the front US passenger side cylinder. People who are used to modern engines often get that wrong. Also, as far as I know, a flathead is the only v8...

Re: Helmet Distributor Issues
Also, take the vacuum brake piston out of the bore so it is not riding on the plate that changes the timing when setting it up on a machine that spins the shaft.

Re: 6V vs 12V condenser
What Mart says is aggravated by using an extremely hot coil. Remember electricity goes to the easiest ground, sometimes that is the shaft the rotor is on in a "helmet" distributor. In my opinion, a...
