Re: A new DIY electronic coil tester.
Luke and Mike K, Thanks for your replies. Luke, I do not worry about the coil primary current, as long it is in the range of 1.0 and1.75 on the HCCT meter. My main concern is that the H/T spark fires at the exact same time for all 5 coils at all generated voltages (by varying the cranking speed of t...

Re: Home-Built HCCT Project
Hi Joseph. A beaut project well done, congratulations, -BUT- as you said this unit will only show if the coil sparks. With your high tension (SPARK) set up, you cannot set the coils visually for correct timing, You cannot read the sparks as is, or I would not be able too. May be one of the coil prof...

Re: Wanted to Buy, 22 or 23 Coupe
Walt,
There was a 22 or advertised as a 22 coupe in Vaginnia {spelling} about this time last year. A lady was selling her late father's model T. I used to keep watching the sale but have lost contact with the new forum.

Re: Tire pressure, how low can I go?
Alan,
I have 30x3.1/2 oversize Universal tyres on a 1913 Crossley 5 seat touring and I run 90/100 psi to stop the tyres turning on the rims and cutting off the valve stems. I run hard tyres and lubricated springs and have had no problems with ride and or tyres.
Warm Regards...Neil.

Re: What are these holes in the cylinder wall of a Ford Special motor?
Rob, My take is that the four holes in the cylinder bore bleed off the blowby that has past the upper piston rings on the down power stroke. That exhaust gas would be near oil free (just like exhaust gas) and would not make a mess. You would then not need a crankcase breather. Regards....Neil M.

Re: OT Another Electrical Dummy Question
What I learned the first year of my trade(Electrical) 1954. R=e divided by i, P=e times i. Where V or E is voltage, R is the resistance, ohms. i is the current, amps. P is the power in Watts. This will act as my first new forum "Dummy Question" trial reply. Neil.
