Cannot find the RPM - 026

$6 chuck and probably poster board. Real simple.

Mine is a leftover survivor from the early 70`s HP engine builds, those V8`s were heavy.

It’s nice having a metal wheel, you can turn it on the bolt when everything is tight and you just need a little adjustment

Next time I am in Hendersonville NC I'll pick up a metal one from a buddy. He offered it the other day but for now my paper will do. This is a budget build.

You can get the adhesive backed mylar transfers from McMaster Carr made by Oregon ruler in various diameters in both clock wise and counter clock wise notation .Mount them on a circle made of sheet aluminum .They should last forever .

I used the lexan because it was at least a little gas/oil resistant. I didn't want to have to fix it, worst I have to do is replace the sticker wheel

Well I found a supposed OEM ms260 winter filter listed poorly on ebay. I bought it. If it comes in as a China clone it will be returned. Waiting for warmer weather to pop the jug off and install the OEM jug with Meteor and compare it to the AM.

Also any thoughts on using this as a filter medium over an AM filter frame? Is this fine enough to closely replicate OEM filters?

If so this would make a couple dozen filters easy and cheap.

Was scared of that. The site automatically puts the stupid Amazon ad up. On my PC it would take me back to the item. Now on my Android it wont do a damn thing.

Try that.

It says resistant to weak acid, alkali, but I wonder if gas/mix spit back would simply melt it?

Try that.

The 200 count sounds good, about the same as our steel mesh winter filters. Get it and I will buy half of it from you.

So in theme with this build...budget/cheap.. I went looking to make a degree wheel. I. Was going to buy a 1/2" chuck but then I remembered this old Jacobs 33 I had kicking around. It came off a drill (broke the nose) at work. It had been on the floor in a corner for a long time. I cleaned it up and took it apart to see how they go together. It needs a collar and could use a new split ring and the center is pretty beat....not worth fixing. I bagged it up and stored it away. Last night I remembered that chuck...a little more de-buring, polishing, some oil, and patience and now I have a chuck for Free Nintey Nine. I'll put together my wheel today. I will have to buy a chuck key...don't worry Harbor Freight with a coupon!

Robin would be proud!

Okay...

I setup the wheel and got actual port opening numbers on the AM jug. I know most like duration numbers but my mathing isn't going real well right now.

TDC - 0°
Exhaust - 98°
Transfers - 120°
Intake - 73.5°

Other than the saw I am working on...

Those Jacobs chucks press apart .It takes a pretty beefy press to do it You can buy new parts but it's just as easy to find a good used one .I've got quite a collection my self all the way up to 1" which I think is a 20 N if memory serves .Usually on that large I use a Morse taper drill which is usually a step drill process . The largest straight shank drills I have are 3/4" .the Morse tapers I think I've got up to 2 or 2 1/4" which obviously don't get used very often .

That's exactly what I found...fixable but not economic. This one came apart pretty easy and I put it back together working carefully around and around in a 4" vise.
