I have a RAJO C head on my speedster and run a Rayfield UF. Fits standard T intake and supplies plenty of fuel. Good luck on your search.

Setting the hogs head
I'm getting ready to reinstall my hogs head. Motor still in car but body removed, so I have a lot of access. A thought came to me about the gaskets (not the half round felt) that fit to the pan. Could I goop up the two gaskets on the side going to hogs head, with a thin layer of Ultra Black, tape in...

Starter motor removal
Can I remove the starter as a whole unit (bendix and all) through the front of the hogs head? Coil field and magnets have been removed previously and slingers installed. Removing hogs head to replace low speed shaft cams. Thanks much.

However, I have a Livingston, honeycomb radiator, and though the Thermocure did its job in busting up the rust into very fine ...

Re: Speedster for only $39,500!
Note single port intake. That is on the low end of RAJO heads. I have a RAJO on my speedster that has the 2 port intake. Also the top end RAJO head would have exhaust on the opposite side. Not questioning the 100 mph claim, but think it is possible. I feed my RAJO with a Rayfield UF carb and run a d...

Whatever tires you decide to buy, check out Summit Racing. All orders over $100 is free shipping all the time. Yes they do carry a number of tires for Ts. Got two sets of Universals (plus flaps and tubes) from them the last couple of years.

I recently put the RAJO head back on the motor and ran it twice for about 15 minutes each (on jack stands) in the shop. My question is, when I go to re-torque the head bolts, should I do this cold or after allowing motor to come to temp? I'm going to 45 ft lbs as a final setting. Thanks

Re: Grease cup: OK to shorten the post?
Can you use the cap from the one you removed (or extra one laying around)? I use a number of the zerk kind and have never seen one with a post in it. Also, do you pull the cap and fill the cavity completely? I usually just give it a couple of pumps from the gun.

I have read to run 1 gauge wire for my 6 volt system. However, 1 gauge is tough to find locally. I can find 2 gauge easy enough. Is anyone running 2 gauge? How does it work for you? I have been running 4 gauge, but the starter still lacks. The starter has been rebuilt. Thanks

I would be all in favor of having the option for a digital copy of the magazine. Many years back the NRA made the switch for a digital option, which I did. A digital copy gives me many options when it comes to saving, labeling, printing, etc. My vote would be to offer this option.
