Too bad I just bought some headlights for a early project I’m working on.......would have grabbed these instead....

Sure looks like a wire conduit for a six cylinder secondary ignition system. Fancy.......

Nightmare? Most every locomotive running today has a similar drivetrain!
Engine drives electric generator. Generator electric power drives electric motor. Electric motor drives driveshaft/rear axle/rear wheels just like the cars you like. No Tesla battery bank. You make as much electricity as you need to motor on.
Easy Peasy.
That's what caught my attention about the car back in engineering school.
Glad I DON"T need your approval to get an interesting car!😁
Have you seen the wiring harness on an Owens? I have, and 100 year old cloth wiring that’s dry rotted doesn’t appeal to me. The selector box on the steering column is enough to make you want to walk where ever you go.-

It’s amazing what was passed off as a “special”. Someone paid money for this one also.

I just checked YouTube, there is no video of a Owens running or driving, in fifty years of car show, tours, museums, and collections I have never seen one run or move. Maybe it’s the ultimate in garage art.

You talking about the Topper car?
Yes.

Yes.....car is still around. Wasn’t it used as a sign for a restaurant for years? Notice how it’s not in any important collection? I can’t recall the movie it was in.........but the design is poor at best and terrible is the most accurate description. B&S did more damage across the board than they did improvements. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.

I’m glad you missed it.........I’m getting tired of fixing electrical nightmares...........you taste is getting very weird.......and I understand it matches your personality...........but you have to draw the line somewhere.
Where is my 40hp White Steamer or the Doble you promised me? You need to focus on interesting, fun stuff. That early Tesla nightmare that is the subject of this thread does NOT meet my approval!

Mark and his crew are true car people. He probably can't tell you the new owner.......sometimes they can. I'm sure he would be happy to forward an email or a snail mail letter to them for you. Ed

Holes offer much less bonding area......the rough threaded surface probably doubles the contact area of the babbitt. Photos taken from The Old Motor site.

It should read......Does the AACA have a bail bond feature? I hope so, or your entertainment may suddenly fall off a clif!
