Ok, I figured this is where I should ask for input here. one of the vintage cars (if you seem mu "stuff" ) that is an Open frame, Inline Pittman motor?
Looking at as much as I can find it appears to be a Pittman DC-70 (maybe?) It has a green wire , 5 pole arm (like a DC-195 ? ) but not that small angled side piece. You can see someone took time to polish and balance the arm.
It came as a wrecked brass frame car, the rear portion was seriously wrecked and Im not that much of a craftsman to repair/rebuild but going to go with a dynamic motor frame and leave the brass tubing frame for front (it appears solid enough) Going to maintain the bevel gears and put fresh new tires on rear. Then go with a Stock type body for drag racing. See photos below. The motor spins up very nicely (maybe a 6v arm?)
) in the last proxy and as far as I was told they presented no problems to the cars running, Dont back out!! Bring it I think we should dub you the "Alberta Clipper"
I guess wheelie bars = drop arms is a "Canadianism." I now understand that wheelie bars are the assemblies at the rear of the car that prevent the car from doing wheelies. The drop arms allow them to do wheelies, hopefully without de-slotting. Hope I've got that right!
