MORE INTERGALACTIC PRE-MATING RITUALS. . . .      AKA,   MORE DYNO ADAPTOR PORN!!
             OR QUITE POSSIBLY:    ROSETTA STONE, PART DEUX???

:cheers: :cheers:

WHAT DO THESE 3 THINGS HAVE IN COMMON WITH EACH OTHER??      OR: MORE DYNO ADAPTOR PORN!!   'MENAGE a TROIS' chapter. . . . .

Midget, et all,

What do these 3 things have in common???

                               MGB Flywheel                                                                              Spridget Flywheel

                 1 3/8ths - 10 Ford style sprung drive hub

Well, the correct answer would be. . .   NOTHING. . .   except for:

               Shazaam!!!    this unique item. . . . . .                                            Drive Plate and Sprung Hub assembly

Which in turn leads to:

                                    Drive plate/hub assembly "mated" to Spridget Flywheel. . . . .

                                    Drive plate/hub assembly "mated" to MGB Flywheel. . . . . . . . .

But hub is unable to "service" both flywheels simultaneously   :cry:   Sooooo. . .  no profitable career in professional porn appears to be in the cards. . .  :cry:

Well, at least one more major item knocked off the dyno check list.

Copy that.

Be down in a couple of hours - Grabbing breakfast and I've gotta mail a check to Wiggle Pin - found his addy.

Yeah, baby - we're going to rip that dyno clean off of its moorings . . . :roll:

Good luck MM! Hope that little "Grenade" suprises everybody!  :cheers:

One last note on the dyno drive plate adaptor.     While MM was on the way down, crossing over the Cheddar Curtain, I bolted the stock flywheel he supplied to the mock-up engine here.    I then bolted up the assembled drive plate to the flywheel, and set-up a dial indicator to measure the total runout.

Result:  TIR of less than .002"         Thanks to Mike @ Deerfield Engineering for a job well done.

Sorry MM, with the runout that well controlled, the BMC "Cocktail Shaker Effect" will be reduced, and thereby the risk to the dyno moorings. . . . .

Thanks for the suds samples.     I know how much you like to outwit those pesky "Revenuers". . . . .

Will post up the latest version of the dyno checklist when I have the carb linkage finished.    Need that pull rod diameter.

Chris, it has been 3 birthdays and 150 pages since you started on this motor.... 'bout time to start fishing  :-D
Too bad Spencer didn't start his reality show with you... hard to imagine everything on this thread condensed to 43 minutes.  It would look like one of the time lapse films where everything moves in fast jumps.
Oh, and Happy Birthday
Keep at it
See ya on the salt  8-)

We're zeroing in.


Whoa, everybody, the Birthday is still a few weeks off.  If I start celebrating early, I'll get nothing done.

I DO want to thank Fordboy for the ultraslick Mr. Gasket Hot Rod electronic slide rule - an early birthday gift from the professor.  


I took it home  :-D


Calculated my total frontal area   :-(


Calculated my drag coefficient  :|


And put the car up for sale on E-bay  :cry:


Just kidding.

Happy Birthday Chris.

Don.  Spelunking is a hobby I never cared for, and please spare us the slide show.

Okay - the appointment, put off time and time again, has been set for Wednesday, April 3 - 8:00 AM. 

MUST BE DONE AND OUT BY 5:00.

Schedule is posted.

I understand a videographer will be making his way up from the cheeseless plains of the snow covered southern hinterlands, so Wisdonm and Fordboy, clean, non-offensive T-shirts, please . . .
