Prewired 8cyl distributor install
Jon Haigwood replied to CA Whitecloud's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I always use short pieces of boot material and slide them down to the distributer cap , then use a piece of shrink tubing around the middle of the distributer and a short way up the cap boots. When heated it shrinks around the boots and looks more like a distributor cap. And I always use the correct wiring order going in the proper rotation and #1 in the correct location . but that's just me. -

MCW paint issues
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yes I emailed MCW, Mike wrote in a reply that cold weather could be a cause for this. On MCW's application guide it states to paint wet coats from 2 to 3 inch's. You can spray additionally coats without waiting for it to dry. This i did same as all the bodies before leaving a fully smooth glossy finish. The only differences in the process was the cold wet weather. This time it was smooth and glossy until it dried. Drying was done in a dehydrator -
