I found a 24 PICT layin on a bench in the garage. I think that is a 24 hp VW carbie! I might just try that.

I'm thinking I might dispense with the AC alternator and drag the tired old B-18D out of the wrecked wagon for starters. It hasa brand dnew SWEM alternator bracket and 70 amp Delco alternator. I've got some 6x6 redwood timbers that I may be able to cobble a stand up out of.

Too bad I have to break up my momentum and pick up the pretty nice, free, 65 220 Friday. It seems spreading a little good Karma around does pass back by sometimes. Owner plays the dobro but had to sell his. Never built one of those... sure would like to learn! Looks like a good time!

Is that manifold like the ones they use with the Weber conversions? IF so that shouldn't be hard to find at all, huh?

Cheers, gotta cook supper.

Mike

P.s.

Found the MEN Article:
