Re: 12 conversion

Hello, [your first name could be written here],


The tired turning of the starter motor has nothing to do with the fact that it only gets 6 volts.

Re: Pros and cons of installing needle bearings in the 7-tooth steeringbox?

Needle bearings are poorly suited to impact loads. Therefore, a plain bearing is the right choice for mounting the steering.

Re: Fuel Filter issue

8EL,


thank you very much for the detailed explanation. This is therefore not a type of fuel. And the above rejection is a political decision, I think.

Re: Ford dealer emblem

Yes, I really like something like that too!

I've been looking for a very old Ford workshop emblem for a long time.

Re: Sparton Horn is falling asleep more and more

That is also an useful tip. Because I measure 15 amps. That could mean a short circuit to ground in one of the windings, I think?

Re: Sparton Horn is falling asleep more and more

Thank you everyone for the good advice!

Re: Nu Rex automatic timing

Re: Head Light Problem

Hi Bill,

I turned a considerably smaller pulley for the alternator. (Oak wood with steel disc insert.)


So I already have plenty battery charging current at idle speed.

Re: Nu Rex Timing Advance

N'Abend Bruce,


I drive with this automatic ignition since one year. Works excellent by itself without any touch up. I would buy the NuRex ignition part again.

When I pull on the upper sleeve, the grippers spread. If I push in, they grip tight.

There are no other...

Re: Tire valve accessories

Mike,

thank you for your hint.
