So I got one of this off ebay for $6.00 including shipping. It's supposed to be one engine and it has 3 pieces and I have no idea how they are supposed to go together.

Anyone ever work with one of these before?



I take it (maybe?) your supposed to cut away the flat disk pieces and then put the 3 parts together.

The middle piece goes in back of the right piece and the left piece connects to the middle piece?

Please don't cut the flat disk away; sand it down from the back on a sanding board until its either gone or thinned to remove without damaging the surrounding part.

In your photo, the right piece is the front, the left piece is to the rear, and the middle piece sandwiches between the two.
Try that out

Ah, thanks, Ben, for the sanding suggestion.

Bad enough I'll have to cut away the eliptical distributor covers to replace it with a round ones for a Hellcat.
