looking good man. when do you expect her to breath again?

I am hoping to drive it around the neighborhood on Saturday. Everything is together I am just rewiring my electric fans. I had been using a Hayden adjustable controller for it but I killed two of those, so now I have a switch from a dodge caravan that installs in the water jacket (instead of the radiator probe) and that will trigger the fan relay, just have to run the wire. I am also adding a manual switch. Might try to sneak out for a run Sunday if everything is looking good. But that is being pretty optimistic.

I can do Sunday...

[RAT]

It is a breeze, [COLOR="#0000FF"]three[/COLOR] rules:

very clean metal
[COLOR="#FF0000"]FLUX paste![/COLOR]
heat the joint until the metal melts the solder (i.e., don't let the flame melt the solder)

Fixed it for you

DISCLAIMER: This is not a curse, this not, I repeat, not a curse...
If you go on a run this weekend and God forbid something goes wrong with OP give me a call and I'll bring my trailer. JUST IN CASE. NOT A CURSE! "0

LOL! I am sure even having the thought pretty much guaranteed that something will blow up.

Hey! There is a shop in San Dimas full of old, hard to find car parts for old Fords. There is an old Offy rotary supercharger for a tri power set up that would fit OP just perfect! DOOO ITTTT!

[jonah]

Let's go! At least I have a spare motor for mockup now.

Need the addresss. Just what I need for my V8 flat head.

[jonah]

Yeah Curtis, you should get the blower. If I want to go forced induction, I should really just get some grand national turbo stuff as it would bolt up. Of course I would probably have to upgrade my fuel injection system to handle it. Maybe I can get one run in before doing more changes, lol.

It is a breeze, three rules:

very clean metal
FLUX paste!
heat the joint until the metal melts the solder (i.e., don't let the flame melt the solder)

Thanks, I probably would have figured out the flux sooner or later

[jonah]

Ha ha, yeah I probably should have mentioned that the only way you get "really clean metal" is with flux, details, details....

Got my fancy new intake yesterday. The new intake manifold is a bit taller than the old one and my old air cleaner was hitting the hood so I got this:


It is so low profile it doesn't clear the TBI injectors :censor:
Back to the drawing board.

Looks pretty sweet. Make a spacer out of aluminum or phenolic plastic (e.g. Bakelite)?

This place is super cool. I can spend all day just browsing. It's been there in the same place since the 20's I think.
