Re: C59A Generator Amp Info/Wiring Gauge
Thanks for the info gents. Much appreciated. Somewhere at some time, I found a diagram of a generator amp vs rpm graph, but of course, I can’t find it. In my mind, I thought output was somewhere...

C59A Generator Amp Info/Wiring Gauge
I’m beginning to do the wiring on my speedster build with my C59A engine and original generator. Generator was rebuilt and remains as 6V. I’m wondering about the wire size/gauge to use for the...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Could it have something to do with either one of the oil pressure relief valves? I recall wondering why there was one in the sump oil pump, and one in the block on my C59A.

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Don’t think the 0.008” clearance is an issue. I went back through my thread on the sump oil pump rebuild I did, but I never did measure the gasket, or at least mentioned it. Michael from Third Gen...

Re: 59A How Many Feet Of Ignition Lead?
I did order precut black wire. Still had to do a bit of trimming at the ends going to the distributor, and of course had to install and crimp those terminals. I can attest to the pain it was...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Closely watching this thread. I feel for you. The original pickup tube on my C59A had been damaged at one point, but had been brazed back together, and I didn’t really like the repair. Luckily, I had...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!

Never heard of one until now. Found this on kijiji. I guess they are quite rare and sought after. This seems to be original and has the V8.
