That is weird. Same specs, different number? Oh, well; it's good to have choices!! Edit: it appears that the one ending in E02 is lead-free if that's a consideration. Regardless, they're functionally the same.

I've no idea if the ignition will work for you but this resistor should be what you're looking for. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Dale/RH0107R000FE02?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtlubZbdhIBIMow1WQ9W2ngtIHFi7S0xHY%3D

That looks like a good deal on the car. IMO it would be more attractive in almost any other color but that's only paint. Column shift would suit the car better, too. It's a great example of rebuilt vintage cars. With rare exceptions you can always buy cheaper than you can build. We all get to enjoy our prized possessions until it's time for them, or us; to move on. "Art is long, and time is fleeting" HW Longfellow

Pretty much has to be for noise suppression. Some electric guitars, particularly older Gibson Les Pauls; use similar wiring although in smaller gauge. https://www.stewmac.com/electronics/components-and-parts/wires/shielded-push-back-wire-16-inches.html

A Twingle? Those are cool!! Yours is an earlier model than the only one I ever owned. Mine had the squarish gas tank. I thought I recognized the muffler but couldn't place it. In my defense it's been 45 years since I owned one..

I was wondering myself but I can't figure out that big round thing. Only pre 60's Brit bike I ever owned was a '56 BSA Road Rocket.

I'm 100% with T120 on this. Everyone has their idea of the perfect car; it's up to you to proceed in your own direction. Looks like a nice one and as others state, 1942 is a rare year.

Gotta be careful complaining about slow-moving vehicles on the road. There are farmers and Amish to consider, not to mention people driving flathead 6 Mopars. ? I have a good friend in the motorcycle business who absolutely loves scooters. I think he's owned at least one of every imaginable collectible scooter ever produced. Here are a couple of pics. The brown one was a really nice Fuji Rabbit. The MotoScoot was still in his shop a few weeks ago although I believe it was sold. One I wish I'd bought from him was a Powell with a 500cc Triumph twin engine. That one would get out of it's own way. ?

My older brother for some unknown reason had a Cushman Eagle in the '60s. My younger brother who was maybe 10-11 y.o. decided to learn to ride it. He did really well for almost 25 yards, wide open into an oak tree.. Loads of laughs.. ?

That was always aggravating.. I carried a big stick, opened the hood and beat the living daylights out of the shift arms when they locked up.

Clean the points and make sure they're seeing voltage. A lot of times points will corrode enough from setting that the engine won't fire.

One of my wife's uncles said my wife's grandfather wore overalls and a belt. The belt was for whipping the kids when they did something wrong. With 14 kids I'm sure he kept busy. He was probably born in the early 1890's but nobody knows exactly where he came from or when he was born. He was an orphan train kid. I think some of those kids could have been classified at best as indentured servants and at worse as slaves. While the whole project was supposedly a charitable enterprise it's not hard to imagine that someone was cashing in. Had to edit to correct wife's grandfather's approximate birth year. I'd originally stated 1870's because my grandfathers were born in 1870 and 1871 respectively. I sometimes forget I married a younger woman. ?

I'm with PA, I always found bibs to be uncomfortable. My father wore bibs all the time, though; usually with a big ball peen hammer in the loop. It was his favorite tool. He used it to drive fence staples, bust out boar hog tusks, and killed hogs with it. An all-purpose tool. ?

I would have loved to have ridden that!!

They decided on shorter rods just so they could use the same pistons? Maybe they were concerned with side load or piston speed. I've built SB Chevy 283's, 327's, and 350's and they all used the same length rods, just different piston pin locations. They all work fine and that's going from a 3" to 3.48" stroke. Same with 74" to 80" shovelheads. Piston side load and piston speed in longer stroke motors is a little on the harsh side for durability and the pin is really close to the oil rings, too. If I get energetic I'll dig some stroker and stock Harley shovel pistons out and post 'em to show the pin locations. Should be able to come up with 283, 327, and 350 pistons, too; I'm sort or a hoarder. ?

Great cars, PA!! Good score!

I worked at a Gulf station for an absolutely great guy who always wore that uniform. Sad to see what IMO is the best looking car of all time folded up like that. I had a white PV 544 Volvo like the one in the pic. The one I had was a '66. I can't recall exactly what year but it was late '60s or early '70s. Had a 444 before that. Great cars, faster than a VW Beetle and a real heater too. Would love to have one now. A nice ripe watermelon would be nice, too.. My father was born in 1908 and died at our kitchen table in '67. I only remember him wearing a suit at his parent's funerals in 1960 and I'm sure he borrowed that one. Heck, I don't own a suit now, not even a sport jacket.. Who am I supposed to be anyway, Frank Sinatra?

Bolt pattern's the same but diameter of the hole in the center of the wheels is different from Ford to Mopar. Recommendation is to use Ford wheels on Ford axles.

Truly spoken! I've watched some of your videos lately, love your cars and what you've done with them!

I've owned 2 Mustangs, a '65 coupe in 1970 and a '65 fastback a year or so later. Both 289 4-speed cars. The coupe was an ex-drag car, a real beast. Traded it for a '58 Chevy 2-door wagon and a motorcycle. Later on I traded the motorcycle for a 4-speed turbo Corvair convertible. The fastback was as-new until some schmuck in a Bonneville decided to plow into the back of it at about 100mph. Suddenly the fastback was a lot shorter, the trunk was in the back seat. Sent my now wife and I to the hospital. Not a fun evening. I think we both survived although sometimes I think neither of us did.

In all seriousness it seems that the owner of the cars in the original post is trying to say "Get lost!" in a nice way.

It sounds like you might be interested in a franchise! These have by some coincidence just opened in New York! Franchises are available at a nominal fee, just how nominal will be determined at a later date when I find out how much a small island in the Lesser Antilles costs. I'm too humble for the Greater Antilles. As for uniform allowances, while we can't provide free uniforms second hand t-shirts will be available for purchase by the bale at a discounted price at a two bale minimum. We only accept cash or negotiable securities at this time.

I'd advise you to consider applying for the renowned MTF Training Program. You'll have flathead Mopar engines to remove, rebuild, and re-install without spending any of your hard-earned cash. An instructor with decades of experience will be available to guide you on your journey to automotive nirvana! Only your labor is required! Parts, tools, and a work area will be provided by MTF! Other makes of engines and vehicles are also available if you'd like to expand your knowledge beyond the Mopar realm. There are paint, bodywork, upholstery, and automotive electrical wiring opportunities available to a select few candidates. Just imagine, days filled with vehicular bliss, blood blisters, sore muscles, and busted knuckles all at no cost to you! The only requirement is your willingness to learn! Imagine the sense of pride you'll feel and best of all, a valuable certificate of completion with a greasy handprint from MTF himself will be awarded when you're finished! Nobody else could offer this once in a lifetime opportunity! Even fewer would accept the challenge! Act now while there's still time!! Limited positions available! All vehicles will be retained by MTF. Payment for tutoring will be required at a rated determined by MTF. Enrollment acceptance at MTF's whim. Offer can be withdrawn at any time.

I worked at this one 6 or 7 years after this pic was taken. Fixed flats, did tune-ups, rebuilt carburetors, starters and generators, swapped engines. Pretty much everything. The cash register and what I guess you'd call the office was right behind the door just to Crulus's left. The part of the building on the far right was for tires, parts, etc, and a place for the old guys to sit around and drink free coffee. I still remember some of the obscene jokes they told.. Those WW1 era guys had filthy minds..? Ah, the good old days...

I have an analog Simpson that hasn't been used in a long time, a fairly new (less than 15 y.o.) Fluke auto-ranging digital, and a Weston Roadrunner digital that came from I know not where. It has a bunch of pushbuttons along the side to pick various voltages/resistances. Kinda weird but I used it for a long time. I have a Tektronix 2230 dual trace scope, too but haven't had a need for it in quite a while. Almost forgot, I have a Micronta capacitance tester. Those are great for working on old tube stuff. It's amazing how far out of spec a lot of new capacitors are. The handiest thing for working on car and motorcycle electrics is a test light. Good for setting static timing, lots of stuff.
