Here it is installed on the engine with the ignition box, coil and vacuum pump chamber all bolted in place.

Very nice!
Do you like that big coil? I run one with my 7AL2 and in retrospect would have bought a smaller one. Always ran 0.042 inch spark plug gap and didn't change it with the new coil. Burned up about half a dozen nice Accel caps because the inner electrode burned up. Ended up having to reduce the plug gap to 0.030 to prevent cap failures.
I just don't need that much energy..........

I've never had any issues with this coil and I've run it for at least 10 years on all of the dyno engines. What spark plug gap do you set the plug for?

I wish I had the tools and skill to do that. That's a common thought of mine as I peruse through these threads. Very nice work...

Andy, what did that press brake cost and what brand is it? I am looking at a 60 ton for some home projects! I have a 4 foot Diacro press brake. It is about 50 years old. You can find them on ebay for $3000 to $5000 depending on condition. I think they are like old pickup trucks. The value just stays constant year after year since there are always people who want those old press brakes.

Is this something your going to produce? If so, sign me up. I'm not sure. I made one for myself and I had some extra blanks cut out so I could make more. But, the first one was a lot of work and it didn't come out looking like something I could sell so back to the drawing board. I'm working with the guys at US Car Tool on some of these tools so if there is something that you really want or need then give them a call.
