[eldorado62]

I got a belt off a '38 Ford some years back & never forgot it.

[jeepers2655]

[PowerToolism]

[Ratticis]

[midgetmayo]

Lol I bet he felt that one for a while!!

[thefidgiter]

dude I am laughing my ass off. I forgot about this video.....I said "the distributor cap is loose!"

[tonytrahan1]

looks like a 53...?

[1damnnut]

a lot of amps in those old 6vlt distributors lol

[1996slamster]

Surprised it ran with the distributor cap loose like that.

[zuzulo56]

Had a fellow mechanic do that with a HEI Ford Truck. It stopped his heart...it's still stopped or so I hope, as we buried him 16 yrs. ago.

[2strokedetroit]

@zuzulo56 it killed him?

[zuzulo56]

@2strokedetroit He was a huge bodied man with an under-sized, weak heart. He was always out to prove a point...THAT was the final one.

[2strokedetroit]

@zuzulo56 wow. it gives me chills thinking about how close I have come to those things.

[zuzulo56]

@2strokedetroit You need take note that the "Killer Ignition" was an HEI (High Energy) pumping out a great deal more volts (40-50KV) than a standard one(18KV)...& WAY more than a 6 volt electrical system, flat head, arrangement. I was a diesel mechanic for a Chicago trucking company for most of '62...have fond memories of the Cummins powerplants which we had.

[2strokedetroit]

@zuzulo56 what did those get put on?

[zuzulo56]

@2strokedetroit Ford F-350 & F-700's...Phone Co. Bucket/Boom trucks.

[2strokedetroit]

@zuzulo56 ones with like 6.8's and 460's I presume?

[zuzulo56]

@2strokedetroit Your presumptions are correct.

[DBLCC]

[EdwardPack1988]
