Art Anderson Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 OK, so this is the first engine I've detailed out since late 2004. Added are plug wires, through .020" holes drilled through the wire looms (those raised ribs on the valve covers, which cost me 3 drill bits!). The fuel line sediment bulb was made by chucking a piece of 1/8" styrene rod stock in my cordless Dremel, then turned to shape using a couple of needle files.

fury3 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Impressive, to say the least! It's great to see something from your bench after all of these years. Now that you've started up, please keep building and posting your projects. Fury3 Edited January 20, 2013 by fury3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futuramic LE Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Beautiful job Art!You have the engine down pat! Love your detail!I'm attempting to do the same but match my modified 1:1 car engine that has finned valve covers and 3 carbs.My question to you is what did you use for the ignition wires and the fuel line?Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 My only gripe about this engine... I wish Revell had made the plug wire looms separate parts. My only real gripe about that whole kit engineering-wise, actually. Would've made wiring quite a bit less tedious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought those were plain cast iron. Nice work either way. I may try drilling those out myself. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
