Default Sharp dressed helmet ????

This made me you tube the tune " Sharp Dressed Man" bu ZZ top . This would be the ultimate sharp dressed helmet ... all the good stuff , 11A advance weights , small cam dual hd echlin points, new load tested condensor, gaskets and proper wire set .......polished case (Andy Tantes )
Ran on tester and adjusted then ran 5000 plus for a few minutes and rechecked ......
Cant for the life of me figure why you would ever run anything else ??? And this customer has the tubes as well ,
Gotta be the look with all the performance you ever need .....

And the brown plastic liesure suit ????

listen to the tunes :

Great looking distributor, that would look great on my 21 stud. Have to think about having the case polished.

Thought I would show some of Jim's outstanding workmanship. This V12 was converted to V8 . Coil was redone by Skip Haney. It will be used on a 1941 Mercury flathead. This is going in a pre war lakester. Should have fire going through it by the end of the year.
