New project!  In 1928 Ford used a generator called a Power House.I have one and took the inside of it out. I have used a kabota PMG  or known as a permanent magnet generator. It has an output of 25 amps. enough for the hot Rod with a very minimal electric need. This is going on the early Ford flathead for the hot Rod. The intake is a 1937 ROOF intake.
Notice the gen mount it is a chopped up 36 intake and bolts to the front of the ROOF so will work well. The dual pulley pumps are nice as they have bearing not bushings like the car pumps.










Been a while! here is the latest. My son and I fixed up a 66 VW bug  about 19 years ago and he drove it to high school and then a couple of years to UBC. One day I got a call from his sister and him that it had quit  on an approach to a bridge near Vancouver.



. The crankshaft broke! So we talked about it and decided to store it while he continued at UBC.  So here we are 15 years later and I am still storing this thing,never seen the light of day for 15 years.
I am getting it going for my wife to drive this summer. VW heaters are so bad that it will be a summer car.
I did an engine and have it running just battling the wires and some stuck relays and away we go. Then back to the truck project.
