Love seeing you guys using vintage tools and test equipment on these vintage engines and cars. I get so much education from watching how things were made and how they operated back in the day. When you think about it, these guys that invented all this stuff before modern technology were genius in their own right. We haven't invented anything in over a century, we just improved upon old technology. That was an impressive showing of vintage autos at the end. Thanks for sharing all of this with us.

Sixty years ago when I was a kid we used to play with those Model T magnets. My dad used them for cleaning up spilled nails and nuts and bolts. He had a bunch of that stuff left over from when my grandfather sold the farm in 1936. Being from the depression era they never thru anything away.

You had said that the original thread for the ring gear bolts are 1/4-24. The thread size on an original ring gear bolt is 14-24, it is a #14-24 machine screw thread. Very close to 1/4-24 but definitely not the same. Not a common thread at all anymore, but used in 2 places on the Model T, the ring gear bolts/screws and the Bendix cover mounting screws.

I am a very tired and worn down hard, crippled seventy three year old man, and I have commented on this channel now for a while and also pray that maybe you remember me from alaska. I am feeling free at my age to make fun of older folks.. that said, here goes. "I have never smelled so much liniment, and smells of stuff that old folk use to still get about when they stop at a place.. like taking a trip to a senior center. You would think that you were in a cereal factory hearing all those old bones snap, crackle and pop... this list just keeps going. Good on them! I look at the way your tester worked, remember seeing them in my dads garage back in the day. I used a power drill to spin the flywheel up and see just how much electricity was made. Question; Why not use this system to this day as using a alternator is a lot the same but a real power and space robber? I do remember seeing how much was taken for a automatic transmission to work on those forty models that first came out... a automatic "standard" transmission in that hook up of its time. It also kind of begs the question as to using that for a old fashion system to make power for a small cabin that needed lights or other small requirements. I think it would work if a person was of need and did not have a regular generator. I also remember seeing a engine that used this system somewhat successfully to send spark to the plugs in the engine on every stroke that was a compression and also exhaust stroke. Not too much power is available on the exhaust stroke but not wasted either. I also thought about people who took those homemade cookies with your name on them thinking they could save one for a keepsake.... gonna taste pretty funky after a few years of "living" in a see through package/LOL. Love the attention to detail including the straw hat in the entro. I wore a few because my mom said so but soon as I hit the shop, dad gave me a "baseball" style hat that got a ton of oils on it
