The Ford Barn

BUBBAS IGNITION · 11-07-2010, 02:06 PM

All,

I just returned from the Vegas Automotive industry shows, and taught a " Hot Rod Ignition" three hours class at Planet Hollywood. This was for the AVI ( Automotive Video Inc) technician conference held during the shows each year etc.
After the class i was approached in regards to doing a Flathead Ford video featuring the 1932 to 1953 ignitions, service and rebuildingetc.
Whta do you guys think, is this something we could use and they could market and sell.????????

I think we could cover :
1-Crabs
2-Helments
3-49-53 units

If this project gets off the ground i would like some Ford Barn inputs from all concerned.

Sounds like a winner to me. I would buy a DVD.

19Fordy · 11-07-2010, 03:31 PM

Good idea. Especially since so many folks think the 49-53 Ford distributers are junk.

rfv60 · 11-07-2010, 03:40 PM

go 4 it.

BILL WZOREK · 11-07-2010, 03:54 PM

It sounds like a great Idea
The more information out there means the hobbie can only get better.

I think it would be an easy sell. For those younger and new to the hobbie a video would be extremely helpful.

I would like to see set ups on a Sun Distributor Machine. I have the Sun, but no instruction manual.

Lawson Cox · 11-07-2010, 04:57 PM

Bill, I'll bet Skip or maybe Ken ct would have an instruction manual that they would copy for you. One shouldn't be too hard to come by.

Henry/Kokomo · 11-07-2010, 05:19 PM

Sounds like a good idea to me. If you need an extra pair of hands, I'd be glad to help. Best regards and good luck with the project!

I think that videos would be popular for anyone with original ignition. I know that I'd be interested.

41panelmark · 11-07-2010, 07:38 PM

I for one would like to see more on the helmut and possible ways to adjust and set it with out a fancy machine since they are hard to come by. .

Sounds like a plan, I'd like to see it. I produced six videos relating to Flathead's in general, including "how to" videos. The one you're talking about, that deals strictly with '32 to '53 distributors would be good. Here's a list of the videos we have available:

Those Fabulous Flatheads (a casual look at the Flathead's history)
"Big Daddy" Don Garlits V8 Museum Tour
6 to 12 Volt conversion
Aluminum Heads & Intake Manifold Installation
From Tops to Tires (convertible tops, etc.)
1951 Ford F-1 Build.
