If you don't mind a '36 version, there is one for sale here in Oz.

The advert says it's a 299ci, a CV model should be a 324ci.

Often the generic 1 wire alternators, which a clone of the GM 10/12si do have a lamp (idiot light) terminal, usually labelled as L.

Who had the 1st full pressurized oiling system?

I wasn't sure if the 1st re-badged Maxwell's in '24 were hydraulic or not.

Chevrolets' ohv 6 before the Buick ohv 8?

Also the Airflow in '34 with a rear hinged, front opening hood.

Here is a video with Sandy Munro and 5 Tesla engineers explaining some of the innovation of the Cybertruck.

Chrysler in 1925 or 26?

What year did duesenberg first released the 4 wheel hydraulic brakes?

Yep, I'd agree with the 1st true auto gearbox - Cadillac. Who had the 1st starter motor, Cadillac?

I mentioned in another post my revolutionary cars in history, what would you add or delete to this list? 1. Benz/Daimler 2. Ford Model T 3. Chrysler Airflow 4. Citroen DS 5. Toyota Prius 6. Tesla Cyber Truck

Is it not an Airstream grill?

Latte = light brown or tan. What colour do your plugs look like?

After a good run, check your spark plugs for a consistent latte colour, adjust mixture of required, about 15 minutes of labor time.

IMO, there would be an 'overlap' of dwell between each series of cylinders, which would show as a low dwell angle on a dual points, single coil setup like this. The meter is reading how the coil is responding to the individual points opening and closing in series.

Yep, on my bucket list, though it may be a challenge to find one here in Oz.

I'm guessing you have experienced the grind....lol Its exactly as you describe.

IMO, if the ring gears on the flywheel are bad in a section and it tries engage with the bad gear, it would make a very loud 'crunching' sound, believe me, you will know when you hear and feel it. I know by experience, my '37 Dodge does it, the bad gears are only at one (1/3 section) location on the fly wheel. I reckon, like others have mentioned, its the pinion gear on the starter not engaging.

It will always debated what is revolutionary, but you will find those models listed will be in most Top 10 (or 20) lists of cars by many car magazines, clubs etc. Model T I believe ( I'm no expert) others can correct me, was first to introduce a single piece cylinder block which was to reduce the not only cost of manufacture but to improved production times. Airflow - many, many advances, but obviously the designed using models for better aero dynamics influenced many designers from the mid '30 onwards. No doubt its not as aero dynamic as an 'Aptera' (google it) but for the '30s it was revolutionary. Note, I own one, so I am bias. Citroen DS - 1st production car in 1955 with regular modern style disc brakes, Jaguar was 1st in their racing cars in the early '50s. Chrysler had a disc brake system slightly earlier but was dropped shortly after, they were not a like modern disc brakes like the DS. Rolls and Mercedes did licence from Citroen the suspension system but they could not make it work as well as Citroen. Also, Citroen sold nearly 1.5 million DSs over a 20-year period, though not many in the USA. I am bias again, I own a '74 DS23 ie Pallas, most comfortable ever made. Cyber truck - check out the youtube video I posted a few posts earlier regarding its revolutionary innovation under the skin. Tesla engineers explain how they overcome some of the challenges and why it looks the way it does. The 48volt networked communication system that controls all the sensors and devices that saves dozens of kilograms of copper under panels, which may change how car electric systems are designed by all manufacturers. And its steering. IMO sales success is not an indicator of revolutionary design or innovation. There were many cars that sold millions but were simple with very little innovation to move technology forward.

Oh ok, I made an assumption because, interestingly, the smaller 6 in series 62 ('28 model) to 65 ('29 model) changed one year earlier.

Imho, the Cyber truck is the 6th revolutionary automobile in history, Benz/Daimler--> Model T--->Airflow-->Citroen DS--->Prius--->Cyber truck All these cars innovated design and technology of their era's.

Oh come on!!! How could you consider this face is ugly....:)

Apparently, Elon wants to convert the sceptic oldies to a Cyber truck with new retro styling,

I am not sure that the base model Ignitor 1 has any of the features you have mentioned, yes, the ignitor 2 & 3 probably do. Your description of 'some random engineer' is probably unfounded, Pertronix have been manufacturing and modifying, as need be, these devices for some time now, I'm sure the 'some random engineers' understand the requirements of a simple pre and post war ignition system requirements.
