Re: Helmet Distributor Issues
If you block off the passenger side points the driver side should be set at 22 1/2 degrees dwell. Then remove the block and set the passenger side to obtain 36 degrees total.

Re: Cam Specs Again

Re: Navarro aftermarket heads
Pete, got any preferences? I’ve got a pair of Navarro heads on my 59 A and they’re good. I did have them machined to achieve.040 clearance above the piston . I bought these heads back in the 1990’s...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
I’d change the pump since you have it out. Sounds like everything else has checked out but the pump is an easy change.

Re: 1940 ford deluxe light switch
The switch housing has a tiny hole in the side opposite the wire connections . Stick a small wire like a paper clip in the hole and push on it while pulling the knob out.

Re: New build overheating
There’s your problem. I bought one to put in my 40 sedan and my new stock 221 would not cool. I concluded that the block must have a crack somewhere and pushing exhaust gases into the water jackets....
