New Model T Engine Running part two

This engine was rebuilt by Gen III Antique Auto in Middleborough, Mass for a gentleman in CT.
It has all the best parts in it and has been "balanced and blueprinted".
Your seeing it with less than three minutes of run time on it.
It will run better after the rings seat.
Note that the fenders are not shaking!

would the gentleman mind if I knew how much he paid for the rebuild?

[Gen3AntiqueAuto]

@MrNik1001 If you have a Model T that needs rebuilding, call or email us directly. This engine was done a few years ago so I'm not sure what he paid will help you. I can give you a current estimate if you want.

Good job!

I noticed that the ignition was converted to a modern electronic type.

How did you do this? Did the Model T have a gear to drive the distributor or was that a custom install?

[Gen3AntiqueAuto]

It's a common change, there are kits available.

[ptokish]

yes it Sounds like an ford N tractor engine what is the HP of this engine?

[Gen3AntiqueAuto]

My best guess based on the components I used is 35-40 Horsepower. A stock T was about 20 when new.

Origionally this ran off a comutator and brush or roller system. The brush or roller was directly attached to the end of the cam shaft.

Thanks

Did all the plugs fire at the same time.

How much horse power can you get out of the T.

I used to hang around with a guy that restored model T's. He would take the timer off them and put a distributor on like you see here. Ive seen a lot of them like this but the original T's didn't have a distributor like you see on this one.

Very nice. I guess they don't have an HEI for it yet.
