    No kingpin lock bolt

    The new spindles are the speedway 49-54 Chevy with needle bearings . The kingpin does have a flat so to play it safe I'm going to take your suggestion and drill / tap for a set screw. Appreciate the help !

    Mallory dizzy conversion

    I believe the first two numbers refer to the series number so this would be a series 25 ? The number 2548201 is the only number I can find on the dist along with the points gap and dwell numbers I checked with Pertronixs and while they advertise a ignitor system for a series 25 it must have the...

    Mallory dizzy conversion

    Hi, I have a Mallory dual point distributor 2548201 on my blown SBC. I would like to convert to electronic but the base plate on this dist mounts with 2 vertical screws not 2 horizontal screws that go into the sides. Pertronixs does not have a kit for that type of base plate. Anyone have any...

    Inner wheel bearing fit

    RussS, Looks like the wheels I ordered are not available until late July at the earliest so I need to keep running my TP wires. If your generous offer of the bearings still stands I'll take it. My Chevy spindle OD for the inner bearing bore is 1.281 inches. Please send me your contact info and...

    Inner wheel bearing fit

    Appreciate the heads up. I saw the thread and now I am concerned. Hopefully the parts I ordered are Radir wheels and a brake kit. Believe that Wintech is just a vendor for those parts and not a manufacturer. Keeping my fingers crossed

    Sent pics to Jim at Wintech and Rich at Radir. They both confirmed 49-54 Chevy spindles. Great guys willing to help !

    Inner wheel bearing fit

    The spindle OD for the inner bearing is 1.281 - that seems consistent with stock 49-54 Chevy. I believe the TP's were machined down to 1.250 ?

    Inner wheel bearing fit

    RussS- appreciate your offer for the bearings but not needed. I ordered new 18 " polished 12 spokes and wheel bearings from Radir to fit the stock 49-54 spindles. It was great to know that these were modified bearings from TP for that wheel. Couldn't figure out why new Timken bearing, same...

    New member looking for information

    Hello , I just picked up a Tbucket on eBay and the seller didn't have a lot of info on the build since he was not the original owner. It has a SBC with a 471 blower, ford 9 inch with 3.25 rear, looks like air heart 150 calipers on 10 inch rotor with 18 inch wire wheels. I want to replace the...
