Re: Belly tanks Model A/B
Interesting transmission Jim Brierley… what bellhousing worked with that? Did you have to make an adapter plate. I have seen transmissions behind model A/B motors using model AA truck bellhousing.

Re: Need Mallory rotor
Thanks! I looked on the site looks like most of the inventory is gone. I started looking at old Willy’s Jeep parts to see if something may fit. Anyone tried this?
