U-JOINT, LINCOLN

Scrounged since the beginning of time to use in race cars where a regular Ford U-Joint just will not hold up. This has needle bearings instead of bushings.

Used,

U-JOINT, HEAVY DUTY

The favorite of lots of old-time race car mechanics. Note the big diameter bearings and the fact that they are fully enclosed and are not as prone to opening up under pressure like the regular joint. Lots of guys used to weld the upper and lower rings together for extra insurance.

Fits 1928-1948 Ford.

#9025, good used

SPINDLES, 1932-34

Most every rail with a Ford front end used '32-'34 front spindles, since they were lighter and had a forged steering arm on the left, and would accept modern tie rod ends.

WICO MAGNETO

The old time tried and true magneto for almost any 4-cylinder race car engine. Has impulse for easy starting. Has standard 1 1/8" diameter base and ½" shaft. Very simple to modify to almost any engine. Clockwise rotation as you look at the top of the rotor. Fits any 4-cylinder with clockwise rotation ('A' & 'B' Ford are counter-clockwise rotation).

Wico Magneto, used

MALLORY DISTRIBUTORS

Mallory was the hot ignition even in the thirties and forties! Racers used these and modified them for almost any engine.

All we need is to know is the number of cylinders and rotation as you look at the rotor. Here are some typical examples -- we have a good quantity to pick from!

Good used

DUAL IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR, 6-CYLINDER

Here is the exotic distributor used on 6-cylinder race engines that had dual spark plugs. This distributor fires two spark plugs at once. The drive base is easy to modify to fit most any dual ignition application.

Original Delco number 4169. Clockwise rotation.

New Old Stock, Genuine Delco

BOSCH HIGH TENSION MAGNETO

Most 4-cylinder race cars of the twenties used a Bosch high tension DU-4 magneto. It was very reliable, and threw a hot spark.

We also have other makes is both 4 and 6-cylinder. (Appear to be complete, but we have no way to test them.) Phone us if you would like a list of available magnetos.

HOT DELCO COIL 6-VOLT

Absolutely the hottest coil available in the thirties, and still hot today! Used in all of the "state of the art" race cars of the day for maximum performance. (It has many more windings than a standard coil, and also weighs about twice as much as a standard coil.)

New Old Stock, genuine Delco.

HIGH PERFORMANCE IGNITION COIL

Super-hot epoxy-filled 6-volt coil, takes extreme heat and heavy loads without breaking down like conventional tar-filled coils. Measures only 2 1/8" diameter by 4 ¾" overall length, and is ideal for restricted areas. Can be mounted in any direction.

NOS epoxy-filled performance coil, 6-volt.

SOLD

MAIN DRIVE GEAR FOR IN/OUT BOX

Many in and out boxes used a Model "A" trans housing and multiple disk clutch. The most wearing part is the main drive gear.

OIL FILTER

One of the original filters that made FRAM famous. This originally came out in the middle thirties when oil filters were very unusual. Then, this exact filter was used by Bugatti (and painted black) and some other exotic car manufacturers as original equipment since it was so good. Race car builders did the same-you'll see this in original pictures of thirties and forties race cars.

Original orange and black with original decal.
