    Great stuff Mike. Used Su's for many years and those new styled clutchs for vintage machines are great, and easy on the wrists as well!! Thanks

    That looks like a great clutch update while being able to use your original basket.
    I think I'm sold. Thanks Mike

    i smiled when i saw him hold that diaphragm spring in his hand. i was a professional automotive transmission rebuilder for 45 years, and it looks exactly like a Belville return spring out of a transmission for a TF 8 /727 or ford c6 forward clutch drum, very interesting,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    I got a tall box 6 v coil for a pan or knuckle. How do I install the plug wires into the coil. It has screws cap on the top. I’ve never used this type before

    • @pacificmike9501
      @pacificmike9501  Před 5 měsíci

      If it is an original coil, then you melt the wires into it. You turn on the ignition switch with the points closed and wait for the coil to get hot. Then' the wires will slide in. It is either wax or cosmoline and the wires slide in when it melts. Personall, I convert to 12 volts and use a modern coil. The old way is covered in your service manual.

    • @15dogo
      @15dogo Před 5 měsíci

      @@pacificmike9501 I’m experimenting with my dual plug head shovelhead. I was reading where you can run four wires out of a 6v coil with a ballast ignition resistor. I bought the coil thinking it was cool. I might need to buy a modern looking 6v coil.

    • @pacificmike9501
      @pacificmike9501  Před 5 měsíci

      I normally use a coil intended for such a system. I have never done it with a 6volt system. I run dual plugs on my Shovelhead with 12 volts, modern electronic ignition system, utilizing dual coils.
