    Building new spark plug wires

    Lots to consider before heading down the EV path.

    Building new spark plug wires

    Let us know when they have one that can pull a brush hog through a ditch. I'd prefer one powered by hydrogen with suitable on-demand electrolysis to run on a tank of well water. Thanks in advance! :D

    Building new spark plug wires

    Next thing you know they'll be talking about turbocharged EFI and which fuel map to choose. Where will it stop?! :lol:

    Building new spark plug wires

    FTR: I installed a set of Taylor Spiro-Pro 8mm plug wires when I converted to EI. The set was "build your own", which was perfect. Nice red wires, too - the prettiest things on the ol' girl. :D I didn't run them through that archaic metal tube, either. They're nicely held in place and...

    Ford 8n hesitation

    I'll wager not getting enough gas. Take a look at Bruce(VA)'s tips for diagnostic techniques: https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/articles/artint268.htm

    I'm an idiot...connected jumper cables backwards

    Amen. :D As I go through mine it's a constant battle of function over form. Function usually wins. ;)

    Ford 8n hesitation

    and then what happened? Did you give it more throttle and it dug into the snow?

    8n compression restored

    I'd say don't be in a hurry. You've taken the time to soak and break things loose. Soak more. Keep working it and see how much it improves.

    Alternative to winter fuel

    My $.02: I don't worry about seasonal blends in fuel. I buy fuel when I need it and use it until it's gone. Usually 5-6 5 gallon containers at a time throughout the year. What I make sure to do is use non-ethanol fuel in my tools. It costs a little more, but will keep until I need to use it...

    For your viewing pleasure. A diesel V8 8N

    All said, from this distance it looks like a very well executed piece. Creating that was not easy. Just sayin' :)

    Throttle Spring

    Tru dat! Mine doesn't have a spring. Not a big deal until I rebuilt the governor. Now the governor works properly and will snap the lever down when running wide open. A spring is in the near future. :D

    Carburetor milestone

    That's an amazing milestone! Congratulations! I owe you for your help sourcing for my carb rebuild. The ol' girl thanks you ever time she fires up. :)

    For your viewing pleasure. A diesel V8 8N

    Pretty. What's in the transmission and rear end? One romp and they explode?

    Was wondering what electronic ignition kit you would sug

    I got mine from Advance Auto, too. At the time they had the best price I could find. Pertronix 1247XTP6. Easy to install and works with no fuss.

    Adding a Proof Meter to an 8N

    What he said. It's a neat feature, but IMHO worthless. Who has time to look down there to see the engine RPM? Just listen for it. Plus a functioning governor makes it moot.
