    6 volt car batteries (guess Superman can't change in a car battery either:lol: that would need to be Mighty Mouse)

    6 volt batteries and Mighty Mouse. That's 2 for 1.

    Ringing up night crawlers, wiring the window tray at the drive in and zapping the car hop when she came to pick it up and other acts of mayhem, all with a telephone magneto. We didn't need no stinking batteries.

    :cornut: In high school I worked nights and weekends at an auto parts store(Austin,Texas) and some customers would like to hang all over the cash register(mechanical cash register, with the pull lever). One of the guys clandestinely hooked a 'hot' engine coil, battery, and distributor to the mechanical register. As we were walking filling an order, if anyone was leaning on the register, we'd spin the rotor on the distributor and watch the customer jump. The customer would ask for the manager who would demonstrate that the register was mechanical all while touching the register and not being shocked. Then periodically, until he left the store, the customer would touch the register to see if it would happen again. The first Taser- PRICELESS!:lol::ihih::devil::Thumbsup:

    Jason

    ADDENDUM: In those days, the hottest coil was a 'Model T' 6 volt coil and boy did it make them jump. Thinking back now, we were lucky that we didn't kill anyone(thank you Lord).

    How about putting an 8 volt battery in a 6 volt car, so it would crank faster and brighten up the lights without burning them up right away, you had to tweak the voltage regulator too.

    It made all the difference in a friend's '37 Buick!

    Can you even get an 8 volt battery anymore?

    No Oil Pumps

    :cornut: Engines with no oil pumps like the 216 Chevy straight 6 cyl. Instead of an oil pump it had metal paddle splashers attached to the crank shaft that splashed the crank case oil over the rods and crank shaft.:Thumbsup:
