At 100 mph around 4,000 rpm. Again quite doable.
I really have to question the MONSTER overdrive!

In my opinion the advantage of the B210 pump is the integral oil filter and relief valve. If you reverse it then these features are lost!! Lots of other pump options without these features.

Re: Generator bolt pattern drawing
My observation is that the straight cut gears are “modular pitch”. I can’t comment on the helical gears.

Re: Model T Ranch #1075 Slipping clutch fix kit
So it would appear to be a “spacer” that can be installed to increase the spring pressure.
Perhaps I’m not understanding it correctly though.

My speculation is that using the metric gear profile was to make it more difficult for the “after market” manufacturers. It was no problem for Ford to make them to the spec. This is applicable to the straight cut early gears. When they went helical they just adjusted the fit.

Re: Generator bolt pattern drawing
I have been promoting the 100 mm spacing for over 20 years. I figured it out when I found a very nice set of straight cut gears and realized that they weren’t a standard North American tooth, but were a perfect metric tooth profile spacing. So I made a 100 mm “link” for the line boring rig and no lo...

Re: Generator bolt pattern drawing
I’ve played around with Henrys engine machining a lot and have realized that virtually every thing is located by 1/16” increments. A few exceptions (like the camshaft to crankshaft spacing)!!

Generator bolt pattern drawing
Just wondering if someone has a drawing of this.
I am going to machine a adapter to fit in this place and if someone has already made the drawing it will save me some time as I can just go straight to my digital readout on my drill press.
Thank you for any help!!

Re: Electric Model T?
Seems to me that the solution is to get a original era electric car. I have a 1920 Detroit cw the original style iron nickel alkaline “Edison” batteries. Runs nominally on 84 volts. This made sense at the time because with a vacuum tube rectifier running from 110 volts AC no transformer needed. Good...

I installed a set of the new Dunn weights more than 40 years ago on my 27 roadster. I labored over the installation to avoid any bending stress in the crank. I’ve been totally happy with it ever since. I think the fitting is the key

You can rethread the ring gear holes with the 1/4” 20 tap. Be sure to use Loktite on the threads. I don’t think the spools by themselves will fling enough oil
