Re: Overvoltage
When trouble shooting, I go for the easy things first. Try polarizing it.

Re: Steelpack placement
What one person thinks is good sounding another may think it's loud. I can only tell you what I did with my 8ba exhaust. General consensus on this site is to use 1-3/4 pipe instead of 2 inch.

Re: Magneto and bets

Re: Yes, times they are a changing
That's the way I look at bidding on Ebay. However, I've had some regrets on not bidding high enough. Chalk it up to water under the bridge.

Re: Columbia Rear install info
You're going to enjoy your Columbia. What controls are you planning on, the early vacuum over vacuum or electric over vacuum?

Re: Columbia Rear install info
How Many feet??
My car is a custom job for a "32". My two piece were 4 foot each. Maybe someone who did an installation on a 33-34 can chime in.
3/8" soft copper usually comes in a 25 ft...

I can tell you how I did my "32". I ran parallel 3/8" copper on the inside of the passenger frame rail. I was able to pass it between the K-member and the frame where I extended to the control...

Re: Dual Stromberg questions

There's more to it then just installing a kit.

Re: Frenzel
Ronnie, Isn't the beauty of a vacuum advance it will retard timing when you open up the throttle? Where with mechanical advance you don't have that.
