HIGH valve spring pressures and flat tappet cams need the zinc. Our Flatheads DO NOT have high valve spring pressures, zinc is not needed.

Mine spun the same way with either polarity.

Ok Ed, if you end up wanting it, here are the deminsions. The body itself is 3" x 2.75" in diameter. Shaft length is 1.75" from the body and 3/16" in diameter. Her are some picts. I will be away for 3 days so I won't see your answer till then. Unless I sneak onto the wifey's laptop.

Ed, I will post basic dimensions tonight when I get home. Mine was also mounted to a plate with 2 studs. I used the plate and cage on my other motor. You will have to use yours. Post back in a few hours.

Ed, Let me know. It is out of a 49 Wayfarer....... Not sure on fitment but I will send it to you for shipping price only.

I wish I wasn't half was across the country I would give you the one out of my Dodge assuming it would fit. Looks brand new and works perfectly. I didn't want to kill it on 12v so I replaced it.

I found a diaper in the lower cover of a chevy bellhousing once to hide a rear main leak.

Heard of bananna peels too.

Higher compression

Some people say the guage work fine on 12v. I put a Runtz in mine. Got it from Speedway.

Yup, that looks like the one from my 49.

Put a HEMI in it....... Sorry had to say it

Does your fluid drive drag the engine down ALOT? I always use it like a non fluid drive clutch because mine really drags the motor down. Almost can hear the rods rattle when leaving a stop if the clutch is not used.

Need to know an EXCELLENT machinest for that one!!

As I never drove my 47 (basket case) and the last old Mopar I had was my 39 Plym with a 201, I don't think my 49 Dodge FD is all that much slower off the line than a non fluid drive vehicle would be. Don't get me wrong, it is slow but it is also a Flathead. Faster than Uncle's 36 Ford (8BA) from 20mph on????? But not that much slower below 20mph. FWIW

Unless it has a flasher built into it, it won't know the difference between 6 or 12 volts.

Awesome!!!!!! Taking notes for my 49.

This is starting to get pointless. No where did I say they changed over for brighter lights. The Lucas example I used is a common "joke" among any British car owner, I assumed you might have known that. I happen to be a hotrodder, this is an arugment I have had for years with all sorts of Purists. Especially when I streetrodded a Packard. It will go nowhere. I will bow out now. Good Luck On Edit: To the origional poster, I hope I helped you a little with your question. I have "converted" many vehicles so if you have a question, just ask.....

Are you saying a 6v system has the same performance as a 12v system??? Yes my 6v headlights were just as bright as my 12v ones are. Where the enhancement lies is when you want to add accessories. The 30amp output (on the freeway) of the generator is not capable of handling many accessories. I also saw the 6v alternators but if you're going to modify something by an alternator, just go the extra step and do it all the way. Last week my brake light bulb went out..... Trip to O'rileys and 5 minutes. No special order, no waiting for a 6 volt bulb. I also like being able to idle at a red light with the heater on, lights on, radio on and not seeing a 20 amp discharge. Oh, and that brings up another point, as I like to drive my car, try to find a positive ground modern radio. Even with a 6 volt alternator you are still limited to what you can add to the electrical system, the amp draw adds up twice as fast.

Wow, my harness was perfect (replaced by P.O.) I mainly got tired of the generator. Just having an alternator is the biggest plus. Harnesses designed for 12v are much more plentiful than one designed for the amp load of 6v. It cost less than $200.00 to convert mine. There is a reason vehicle manufactures went to 12v and alternators!! Same reason most people HATE Lucas electronics....... DARKNESS. Alternator (10si) 80.00 horn relay: 5.00 starter relay: I had Coil: 25.00 Headlamps: 50.00 Light bulbs: <25.00 Flasher: 10.00 Alt bracket: made it out of scrap Runtz voltage reducer for fuel guage: 17.00 (speedway motors)

I sure like the looks of those Poly motors!!!!

I get that sometimes. Especially love it when they pick your car apart. I just ask them where their car is. End of conversation.

When my generator rear bushing failed it sounded like a squeely belt. Then I noticed the gen vibrating badly. I also had an oil lite bushing installed but it failed due to lack of oiling. No power loss though, charged all the way to the end.
