Re: Motor mount rubber pads
I did a video explaining how to make a frame spreader out of hardware store materials, if you decide to go that way.

Re: Ammeter
I could be wrong but I don’t think the dimple is mandatory.

Re: Distributor won't drop in fully...
There is a sleeve (https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/product.htm?pid=978821&cat=41694) around the tang. It may be gunked up enough that the gunk is obstructing the shaft. Certainly the gunk or...

Re: Adjusting timing
There are lots of different procedures to set timing, but every one of them involves manually bringing the #1 piston to a designated position (almost always TDC). That's how you set timing on...

I know a guy up in VA who has at least one B engine, maybe two. He says he isn't going to need them and was trying to get me to buy them. I believe they're in running condition. If VA is close enough...

I did a fair amount of research on this question a couple years ago for my Winfield red head and I never turned up any positive evidence that the logo was painted a contrasting color.

Re: model a engine
In my book, a "rebuild" means modification (grind, rebore, etc.) of major parts due to wear: crank journals, bearings, cylinder bore, etc. A valve job is not a rebuild, nor is the replacement of...
