Re: Batt. Supercharger
I doubt the 'turbine' rotates. I think its suppose to sit there and get the fuel/air charge to spin as the charge passes thru it and enhance the flow/charge into the cylinders.
The manifold design...

Re: Batt. Supercharger
Kinda reminds me of what W C Fields had to say.
But, I kinda like the design/looks of the manifold itself.

Re: Leaf springs and shocks
There are CW and CCW 'tonnage' specs for these shocks. But I'm not sure which is which, can't remember, but, I'm thinking the higher poundage spec is on the rebound. I've changed fluid weight as the...

Re: Modern point set
The gap decreases as the rubbing block wears. Its important to keep the rubbing block lubed. Decreased gap retards the base timing. Checking/setting the point gap until the wear settles in is...

Re: Batt. Supercharger
That thing seems pretty unique. It would nice to hear from someone if it actually works. Looks like its suppose to get the intake air spinning.

Re: Leaf springs and shocks
Our shocks have a 60/40 or so bias/differential. I think the bias is on the rebound if I remember correctly. But, no matter. Good springs and shocks makes a difference.

Re: Leaf springs and shocks
Grinding out the wear grooves from 9 decades of use and a good lubricant along with a good set of shocks sure helps these old monsters ride 'more better'.
I think the springs and shocks tend to...

Re: Modern point set
I don't think the problem is the point set itself as long as a quality set is purchased.
The main problem is the 'modern' upper wireless plate which are pretty much a PITA. A wired plate is pretty...

I keep spares in the vehicle, just in case.

Re: Modern point set
A good modern point set can be bought at any NAPA store, just get the expensive one. They are a Ford V8 set.

Re: How to ground a tail light?
What J says is correct.
Depending on the amount surgery sometimes needed to get a good ground without removing paint where you don't want paint removed I've resorted to adding a ground wire...

I've not had an issue with the Signalstats.
You might need/want to cut the wire in question coming from the switch just to try and locate the problem. If that wire is cut from the switch and the...

Re: GPS speedo
Speedo's in these old monsters are notoriously inaccurate, so, I've checked them with my plain ole Garmin. Just remember the numbers.

Re: Adding turn signals
I usually have a Signalstat hanging around, install quite a few.
They are easy to install and you'll get used to looking at it pretty quick.
As far as the exterior I too like to keep it clean and...
