It’s not gunna run that way!

[Bored&Stroked]

That must be because of the sea-foam green paint and the yellow plug wires! LOL

He forgot to connect the coils

Outrageously delightful,,,,,,,,it appears as though it is destined for '39 - '41. Loose the

set back intake and go for the Offy clone Speedway 910-15985 CENTER mount 2x2
and 8BA pumps. Allows room for a center mount gen and tucks in w/ room to spare.
Only my biased opinion.

The distributor conversion is interesting, any discussion on it?

[deuce lover]

I wish I knew more.All that was noted were the ELCO TWIN heads. Curious also as to what the ign is.Looks like SCOT tops on the carbs.

[deuce_roadster]

I see a lot of money there. Pretty cool.

I think, not sure, but the distributor could be a nash twin 8 from the 30's

If you have enough dough, you can make it go. Looks nice.

[vilanar]

Yes, distributor is NashTwin8 and they had plans to reproduce it but I think it newer happened...

[19Fordy]

Here's some interesting reading about 'reproducing" the twin 8.

And more: Parts are pricey, if available. Check this out.

Given the horsepower and fuel requirements of almost any engine we'd run in any of our hotrods, there would be extremely negligible increases in HP with dual plugs. Outside of reliability goals (dual coils, dual plugs), I can see no value other than bragging rights.

Now, on modern top-fuel Hemi engines making 8000 HP+, there is a need . . . but that is about it.

Dale the “Kool” factor is way over the top. Looks fast sitting still.

A 'beaut', for sure! But it would look just as fast, yet with way more class if that ghastly yellow was on somebody else's Chevy engine. DD

Be interesting to see the dyno differences between a one vs two plug arrangement per cylinder. I know on a small aircraft you can tell the difference when you do the ignition test and switch between the magnetos.
