Mopar Joe wanted a Hemi for some garage art. I found him one. It's a 241 Dodge Red Ram Hemi with lots of chrome! tmm

Scored these from a FABO member.....don't know much about them but got 2 cables and brackets, as well as a 10K and 11K tach...the one is known as a "Tattle Tale" tach...must mean memory? Looks like the redline can only be set above 5K? :glasses7:

BTW, I have a tach drive dizzy for these....can't wait to get them installed :glasses7:

I remember those mechanical tac's, it brings me back to some great times looking for a good cable drive for a racer that broke/spun a cable so he can make his pass

This is a Mallory Double Life dual point distributor that I remanufactured myself. Before and after.

You do such nice work... No one does this type of work,in the "replace it" world. My shop teachers taught me ,rebuild the original unit,if possible.As a; arts guy,I completely agree.

We have a vintage Hemi in the shop from before "hemis" were around. This was the gentleman's version that didn't sling oil straight down.









It's a 2 cylinder, with a sort of prehistoric carburetor on it. This one i believe was manufactured in 1899 or 1901. I don't remember which. I'll have to pull the cover off of it and see. If you look closely you can see that the rocker arms were just held on with pins, that could be removed to make easy adjustments. Also what you see at the top is actually an overhead cam, believe it or not... Intake on one side of the camshaft and exhaust on the other with a hemispherical head.

It was manufactured for Truscott for a car I believe, but this one was mounted in a Fantail Launch boat. The "heavy duty" version had no oil collection and just let oil kind of dump on the ground/ bilge as I have heard.

That is Purdy!!!!

That is Purdy!!!!

We also got the flywheel back from the machine shop. It is a huge sucker and probably the same mass as the entire engine. There are 2 holes machined at an angle in the flywheel. You put a wood rod in the hole that has a brass end, and spin it to start, then yank the rod out quick.

We're trying to gather more info on it, because my dad believes it could possibly be the oldest Hemi in existance, and has been scouring museums to find out if that statement is true or not. This is the only running one he's ever seen as well.

I got some cool old stuff. Top to bottom; NOS, Edelbrock BB valve covers, 15 x 3.5" Fenton Gyros, Cragar skinnys with vintage Stahl front runner tires, bunch of vintage tachs, NOS A100 van seats, Sun 500 Distributor Tester.

Wish I still had the real-deal 1964 magnesium American front runners I used to own.
