Re: Reliability
On my roadster , I run a stock generator on twelve volts with a Fun projects voltage regulator , modern starter drive . Pertronix flame thrower coil , original points , brass rear water pump bushing with two seals , balanced aluminum two blade fan , eight fins per inch radiator , temperature gauge, I feel that a temperature gauge is the most important extra gauge to add . Bronze cam timing gear , adjustable lifters with a Winfield super street 3/4 race camshaft . dual updraft model B carburetors . 5.9 BF head and a lighter model B flywheel . I run the original 3.78 gear ratio to maintain low end torque and mid range power . The pep and power to get out of the way is as important as reliability to me . I run a 1.5 inch shorter pitman arm for ease of steering , original brakes with cast iron front brake drums . and probably a few other minor mods that I don't recall off the top of my head at this time .
