Thanks Guys this is good stuff.
I am trying to nail down who would have manufactured Hi Point Husky tanks in the 71-72 time frame.

Casey who along with his business and racing partner, Tom Scales started Sportsman Cycle and were one of the early Penton dealers and supporters.

Looks like the ad has been pulled. Hope it was a POG member who sealed the deal!

Here is another good write up.

Hi Paul,
I was lucky to have had dinner with him many years ago out in Victorville, CA. He had a ton of Rickman stuff at the time.
He was a cool cat.

That is a fantastic picture!

Have you tried to source another tank?
It may be the better/cheaper route and a bit less cringe instilling.

Putting a little bit of heat on it with a blow dryer may also help move things along.

Fantastic stuff!
May we have more please?

There's articles?

Crazy......

That's very cool stuff, Mike!
Thanks for sharing!!!!

Perhaps this will help.

FYI, 3-5 psi will usually do the trick.

I have some experience with testing under vacuum, but with these I prefer to test under pressure. It exposes the components (seals and such) too the same loads that occur under normal operation.

As Michael said, just because you can see a spark it means very little. In A&P school we would test plugs that looked fantastic till you added a bit of cylinder pressure and watch them go dead. Same with coils.

Add the jumper.
