Very nice job! At times I wish mine was a bit bigger.

Brian I have been following your builds from the start. I appreciate all your innovation and documentation. I'm a little perplexed with your new build. Basically you're building this engine because it has a distributor? By this I mean you basically abandoned your 2 cylinder inline build for...

Brian, I'm really curious. What does the distributor on that engine have that others don't? Being the old time hot rodder that you were I would think that you were fairly familiar with distributors. Not much to them really, a body, shaft, rotor, cap and wires.

Ok, where do I start? As a kid I was introduced to plastic model kits and fell in love. Over the years I have probably built hundreds ranging from ships, planes, military and automobiles. I still build and enjoy this hobby today. In my teens I met a group of fellows that were older than me and...

Terry, You might find that you have excess dwell time with the size of your shutter window. The diameter of the magnets I use is .125 and my windows are just slightly larger and my 302 will Rev cleanly to 7800 rpm. (Not free rev) I use a Dave Sage ignition module with a universal 6-12 volt...

You're right. I just didn't know what equipment Brian had available.

Brian, a suggestion. Make a simple fixture to hold the shaft. Supported just on the ends. Mark the shaft where each of the lobes go and slide them on the shaft. Go on line and search 'protractor ' and print it out. (Degree wheel) Glue it to a piece of card stock and glue it onto the end of the...

Brian, I have built many I.C. engines over the years, single, twin, triple ,4, 5, 6 and 8 cylinder configurations. All my cams are made from w-1 steel and left in the unhardened state. They all have flat flanks. The lifters ,even roller lifters are hardened. I was taught that as long as you...

I'll look in my box of drawings tonight and get back with you.

I believe I have a set but don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Did you design the engine or are you working from someone's plans?

What design are you working with?

I think when Paul Breisch originally sold them they were the same price or very close in price. I bought the water cooled version in the mid 70's and still have the original pamphlet somewhere.
