    Never measured an ign off draw in volts, only voltage drop but to each their own. If it takes several months to drain the battery, what's the problem? New cars with all the computers will do that.... Maybe trying to solve a problem that's not really a problem?
  2. Adam H P15 D30
    Never checked, never needed to on 3 cars running them. Sometimes these cars sit for months with the battery connected without discharge, couldn't do that with a 3/4 amp draw. EDIT: I assume you meant 0.7a not v
  3. Adam H P15 D30
    No they do not. I have a one wire and the Ign off draw is no where near that.

    The fuel now days tends to boil over easily so some here slightly lower the float level to combat this. Fuel today burns differently then when these engines and carbs were spec'd out, I would put a few 4-5 degrees of advance in and see if starting / driveability improves. I think the happy spot on my 230 is about 6 BTDC. Adam

    I had the NAPA GL1 oil prior to trying this, it worked fine. After trying the MT 90, I'm glad I spent the money. It worked much better especially cold. Trans doesn't hold much so it's not too hard on the budget. Your call, but sometimes it's good to open your wallet a little and blow the cobwebs out.

    GL 1 is kind of available. This works better and is safe for the soft metals in the std. 3 speeds.

    GL 4 and GL 5 are important topics for manual transmissions because of yellow metals used in earlier transmissions. For that application I used MT 90 manual transmission oil and it made a noticeable difference in shifting especially cold. My transmission is a std. 3 speed. As to your question, any GL 5 90 wt. hypoid gear oil is sufficient. GL 5 is the most common now. Adam

    12v motors are a inexpensive, permanent, almost bolt in fix. Why mess with smokin hot resistors and such, do it right. I used a mid- 60's Dart, had to trim the shaft a little. Don't mean to be blunt but camon?

    I've used Wheel Vintiques (sp?) and Summit Racing brand wheels. Both good quality and ran standard offsets with no issues. oh, and they'll fit around your disc brakes if you used a company that requires a rim change.

    Are you looking for stock width rims or wider? When I compared my aftermarket wheels with the stockers, 2 things stand out: 1. the wheel mounting surface was twice as thick 2. they are welded, not riveted Both of these = much less rim flex.

    Lower the back, don't forget the skirts
  12. Adam H P15 D30
    Keep a close eye on the rim centers when running radials, they can crack

    I had mine made at Denny’s Driveshafts for about 400.00, delivered.
  14. Adam H P15 D30
    Hmmmm, here we go again.....
  15. Adam H P15 D30
    Yes, about 90% of 12v conversions use a GM 10Si alternator
  16. Adam H P15 D30
    3-4 PSI should work well. If you are plumbing an entirely new fuel system, use a return style fuel regulator to keep the fuel colder. Adam

    US Radiator seems to be a really good value for the $$$$$ but your Ford engine may require relocation of the hose fitting on the tanks. Does US Radiator do this? If you really want the best, call Walker Radiator. Adam

    True, lead additive is not needed

    Circled in red... I just took mine out and never installed any in line valves. Been running like that for years with no issues...

    The upper control arm points up towards the front where it attaches to the frame. Try to keep the angle the same as the donor car. This feature makes it a vast improvement over older independent suspensions.
  21. Adam H P15 D30
    Do the clip, not the frame swap. Very few frame swaps don't look like a vehicle sitting on the wrong frame. One exception here is Radarsonwheels' thread, he did a magnificent job with his frame swap but it took more work than a clip. Measure carefully for the clip because a lot of those end up looking like crap too. Best advice on clipping I can give you is: 1. The ball joints are not necessarily at the wheel center line 2. Measure the angle of the upper control arm front to back and duplicate it 3. do ALL fitting with the vehicle blocked at ride height Adam

    Ahhh ca’mon, this is just starting to get good
  23. Adam H P15 D30
    Drove my 49 for 2 hours yesterday, Runtz resistor was not hot but whatever.. You could also grab a 60's-80's Ford IVR.
  24. Adam H P15 D30
    Im sure there’s a bad one every once in a while.
