Just can't wait to see this engine running. Another engine on my build list.
Changed the crank to a one way bearing
Made a new front pulley with the magnet pressed in for the ignition

In the late 40s,practically all cars and trucks were hand crank start.The cranking bar is normally left disengaged,hanging on to engine. Hand cranking the trucks can be hazardous and new hands are pre-warned of the danger of kick backs and broken arms. No worries,we have competent bone setters that guaranteed your arm gets healed in three months and much bigger and stronger than ever.
Getting your new car driver's license is easy but getting your car hand started is a skill not easliy acquired. Just imagine your car won't start on on first date.

One bit of info I picked up somewhere (I think it was in a Steve Huck build) is that the starter shaft that goes into the one way bearing needs to be hardened. If it isn't it quickly tears up and takes out the bearing when it goes.
I love the new pulley, I can only dream of surface finishes like that!

I made the crank handle out of stainless not sure how to harden it

Hi Michael, I was just looking at the picture in post 41 again, do you have 2 spark plug leads contained in the one sheathed outer? It looks as though the one lead goes to both plugs.

Hi Mosey
I have sent for the SS dual coil ignition, I put together one of their single coils and it works good for 1 plug as it should but not enough power to run 2 plugs.
I will use the single coil on the peewee when I build that.

Where did the plans for the radiator come from? I'll need a radiator for mine, and I like the looks of what you're doing there...

Michael,
I do have the SS dual coil and find it to be very good. My engine has not run yet, alas, and I admire the fine work you are doing on yours. You should have excellent performance with that coil.

Excellent work! I made this for the upper and lower tanks when I built the radiator for the Hercules, very handy tool!
