Re: headlight switch
If you're getting power to the dimmer switch, your headlight switch is fine.

Re: Edsel Confidential
Exactly. If you read the story in the latest Rodder's Journal of the Ford exec who drives his '34 coupe to work everyday and parks it in the executive garage you'll see that Ford has real car guys in...

Re: Edelbrock 94 carbs
According to Edelbrock's 2010 printed catalog they have cast iron bases.
However, on their website it says aluminum. Not sure what's up with that.
I picked one up and looked it over at the...

Re: Converting 6 volt to 12 volt, coil question.
Thanks for the advice on optimizing a 6 volt system but my original question about the coil was because the conversion is already well underway.
6 volt systems could'nt have been all that great if...

Converting 6 volt to 12 volt, coil question.
I'm converting our '47 Mercury to 12 volt negative ground. Can I still use the original 6 volt coil with a ballast resistor, or do I need a new coil?
Can I use a generic canister type coil.

Re: How many out there run Stromberg 97's
I can only speak for myself, but the 94's I've had all ran like crap. I finally went with a 97 from Uncle Max and haven't had to touch it in almost two years.
Worth every penny.

Not mine but a nicely restored '40 that I saw at a car show two years ago.

Re: questions about a stromberg 97
I had my carb rebuilt by Uncle Max probably two years ago. I installed it and haven't touched it since. Looks good, runs better. He's the man.
