Hey thanks for that! I think I'll order some and try out the Pertronix again. I love points honestly and they have been great in my truck for the...
So just to update this.. I put the points back in the distributor and kept the new Pertronix coil on the engine and it fired right up. Super weird...
It's definitely not a fuel problem. I get a nice spray and the plugs are damp with fuel.. It also acts like it wants to start so I know it has...
Generator was rebuilt completely when the engine was rebuilt about 4 years ago, so it could have a problem at this point. The starter was rebuilt...
This is why I don't think its worth my time taking the cover off.
Maybe the key on the crank gear sheared? Wouldn't that show up in the compression test..? That's what I've been thinking but I've hesitated...
Nope no ballast resistor with the Pertronix. I've cleaned off the rotor and checked inside the cap. I'll check it again a little better here in a...
I should also say that when I had the distributor out I checked the cam gear by rotating the engine over and saw nothing suspicious. It has to be...
I guess I shouldn't have made a long post haha 1- I static timed the engine and I can get it timed in the correct spot. 2- It ran for 15k miles...
So I've had my flathead running in my model A pickup for about 4 years now. No issues whatsoever. Its a 286ci with 3 Holley 94's, Edmunds heads on...

Yep stock timing tab and balancer Sent from my SM-G935V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Pieces of 1/8 plate with gaskets. I sprayed around them and no signs of a leak Sent from my SM-G935V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I've thought about that too but didn't know how to check it.. All the plugs look the same Sent from my SM-G935V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Interesting.. It doesn't sound crazy at idle at all. Just a little lumpy but nothing crazy at all. I'll mess with the distributor, bump up the...
PCV and a vacuum gauge on the dash
The outer 2 are blocked off.
Thanks! I should have mentioned that the needle acts normal. Doesn't jerk around at all. I need to do a compression test but ran out of time today.
The cam had Erson HiFlo 1H stamped on it that's all. If it really was the 7/4 firing order swap wouldn't it run like crap all the time? Maybe a...
I've got a 283 chevy that I just rebuilt with 30 over pistons and an Erson hiflo cam. Basically stock otherwise. It's got 265 heads on it that are...
It screws/nails to the wood. There are brackets front and rear that hold the wood in place
Probably not.. I'm moving to Phoenix at the end of this month. Might have to fly back for it thought since its such a good time! Absolutely!...
I believe its from a T bird.. A 40 Ford rear will be replacing it in the future.
Thanks man! Wish we could have had a chance to meet!
I talked to Dave today and he explained to me the situation which I totally understand. He shipped my headers today and I can't wait to get them....
I ordered some headers from him in January and he was super easy to deal with on the phone and worked with me. I called him a couple weeks later...
1931 coupe that has been shortened to have roadster proportions and a real roadster windshield. aftermarket 32 frame. 1960 Pontiac 389 tri power...
Looks really great! That metal rescue stuff works awesome. I always put my carb parts in it
Looks great man! I've actually been looking for one myself..
I bought a Pro 5.0 and I'm super happy with it.
