Well thats pretty cool. I wonder how it feels to drive that, and if you get a better top speed?

An interesting concept

I had an interesting thought just now. It goes against purist sensibilities, but I'm purely curious in an academic capacity.

What would be involved in marrying an original ford-o-matic 3spd...

Re: Timing of Engine

It means that when the lever is advanced, #1 won't actually fire until the rotor is in that position, based on when the timing of when the points close. In the retarded position, #1 will fire sooner...

Re: Timing of Engine

Like Mitch said, adjusting the spark lever advances the points by turning the upper plate. Doesn't change the position of rotor.

Re: Rear Window Shade in a coupe (why?)

Based on all these responses, I'd say the rear shade is the equivalent of today's modern "dimming mirror." Keeps the headlights behind us out of our eyes.

Re: Touring with a GoPro?

I would have recommended iMovie on the iphone. It, too, is free. But it's much more comprehensive and has some really nice features. It's also more user friendly, in my opinion.

Re: Lighting at the dash area

The LED tape is the way to go. Cheap, and easy to work with, and can be directly wired to a 12V power source. I used this for kitchen lighting under my new cabinets. It's probably one of your better...

Re: difference between a roadster and deluxe roadster

If you can get the chassis and/or engine numbers from both cars, It would help determine if the car is in fact of Canadian decent, or if the car is in fact a 1928.

Re: Window regulator refurb

Yeah. they also don't roll up all the way though. I can pull them up as I crank to get them up all the way, but they'll drop a little. So I think the spring isn't holding them very well.
