Nice piece of tech on the set up of these distributors, both parts 1 & 2. You might also have mentioned that after setting the points gap, remember to re-tighten the screws on the points mounting plate, though most folks probably already assumed that step.
I hope you are going to bevel all the pie cuts . Need full penatration. A + work so far. When you flush grind your welds you won't have any weld left ! ! !
Thank you for your order! I’m currently preparing to ship a batch of tools out. When you can, send me an email at Thehotrodworkshop@gmail.com and I’ll relay your tracking info as soon as it’s available!
A resistor (ballast, resistor wire or coil with built-in resistance) is needed because stock point coils are designed to work at 6v (nominal, 7.4v reality). Due to higher compression engine then they had in the early1950's, the coil does receive 12v when the starter switch is in the start position. When it springs back to the run position only 6v gets delivered to the coil.
You never explained the cons of electronic distributor and how to know and test when the electronic distributors' magnetic parts stop working. What are the signs and symptoms of a failing or bad electronic distributor?
!! Awesome to see thanks for sharin your Project with us signed up Cause it looks easy enough to do and Build Don't need to be Rocket Scientist to build your Project so Hopefully ya got more to Show us Looks like it gets cold were ya Are too good to see we get Down here to minus 45 the Other day so its winter time Spring around the Corner ther Sayin so keep your HEAD up and stay warm toooo keep them comin from Canada SK we got this going to give it a Shot !!! Brrr chilly Nice Puppy too got one and lots of Rabbits too
The photocell one of the ignition wire falls off the spark plug and has nowhere to discharge to it'll burn out your photo cell and you'll have to buy a new one my suggestion is not buying that one Mallory
The reason for the dual point ignition is to increase the "dwell" time, which allows more current to flow through the coil primary, which allows the coil to output a higher voltage spark, allowing you to increase the plug gap and increase engine power.
That master has to be for drum / drum if that what you're running due to the residual valves in the outlets. If it's a disk / drum it will have the wrong residual valve on the front outlet. Propositioning valves are talked about a lot but most people dont even know what residual valves are.
Appreciate you bringing us in on the problem solving part. It’s great to see the challenges and then eventually the solutions. Huge fan of the jig. Always time well spent.
Very neat carb. Your video has some of the best info I've found. I'm looking to see if i can find a decently priced M1 to put on the 300 six in my vintage race car.
Hey my friend, last week I ordered your new timing tool for a two bolt crab style distributor and was wondering when I will receive it. George ireson. Paid on paypal
