I see this place has 6 and 12 volt LED headlamps I positive and negative ground. Just wondering if anyone tried them and how they like them?

Ba15 Bayonet 15 mm 6-12 volt These LEDs are suitable for pre war type lamps from the Late 20's to 50's. High and low beam and single 600 ma at 12v +ve or -ve earth and will work from 6v to 12v. (approx 7.2 watts, about 700 lumens for an efficient LED) Single LEDs are not suitable on resistance dip systems. LEDs give a natural white light and produce a softer beam pattern If you look at their description they tell you, in a rather indirect way, that these bulbs WILL NOT FOCUS into a proper beam pattern. "Softer beam pattern" = less driving beam, more glare to oncoming drivers). The same is true for ANY light source (LED, HID, Halogen, Std. Tungsten) contained within a parabolic reflector (Ford A) if the photon emissive surface deviates from the focal point. Moving radially more than 10% of the reflector focal length (Model A reflector F.L. = 1.25", 10% = 1/8") will reduce the driving beam produced by a Ford "H" pattern (28) or Twolite lens (29-31) more than a third and will drive the objectionable glare to oncoming traffic well into the danger zone. By design LED's emit from a planar surface and must be mounted on a heat sink. Thus two or more dies must be present to hit all surfaces of the reflector. The central heat sink of LED replacement lamps moves them away from the focal point. ZERO photons emit from the focal point! Modern reflector geometry compensates for this and also produces the vertical cutoff beam pattern. A Model A reflector does NOT produce a correct beam pattern with ANY LED when used in conjunction with a stock lens. Either internal baffling or a modified reflector would be needed. |

Welcome to this website attending to preserve an American Legend compiled from a knowledge base collected from over 70 Years of experimenting, modifying, and just plain improving the Ford Flathead V8 -1932 thru 1953 |
Camshaft bearing clearance | .001 to .003 |
Cooling system | 3 gal. |
Connecting rod to crankshaft clearance | .001 to .00336 |
With a 6.0 head and with points I am not sure which of these coils is the best. I do not understand the results. |
