In the 1960s I started Dyna-Jet engines using a Model T spark coil and a manual tire pump. Is alternate equipment used these days? If a compressed air tank will work, how is it used? What is a source for obtaining spark coils and Dyna-Jet parts? Is there an easier method of starting than using air and spark? Seems like I heard about priming the tube but I never saw this done. Thanks for any advice from up-to-date pulse jet enthusiasts.

Try looking in at the North American Speed Society website. The Dyna-Jet flyers might be easiest to find there.

I just went to the site for the NASS. I did not know it existed. Looks like anything and everything you ever wanted to know about speed is there. Thanks, DOC Holliday

PS: Loved the sound of the Dyna Jet.

Hi, you can buy new out of the box Vibrator Coils from antique Ford Parts distributor in Oklahoma City. They go all the back to the Model T.

Thanks for the advice from up the road in P'cola. Used to be we could get Model T parts from J.C. Whitney but now it's not that easy.
