Re: Mallory ignition 12 volt coil.

Re: Mallory ignition 12 volt coil.
I have tried all the major parts stores and no one carries Bosch blue 00012 coils or can get one. Napa, Auto zone, O'Reilly etc. If you know of one let me know. I'm not interested in E-Bay, etc.

Re: Steelpack placement
Steel packs are louder than glass packs. Glass packs get louder with use. Brockman are a good choice which ever you use. I run Fenton headers on my 50 so after you install the header pipes install...

Re: muffler
It all depends on the length. I like Brockman Mellow tones.

Re: At a loss. 1949 Ford flathead V8
Check the wire under the distributor plate the points and condenser are mounted on. It might be shorting out somewhere when the advance moves the plate.

Cooling system.
I cant find my book. What is the capacity of the cooling system of a 1950 Ford?
Is there a difference between the 6 cylinder and V-8? Thanks in advance.

Re: 8BA engine
Pull the driverside side head. Thats where 5 6 & 7 are located. Agree it sounds like stuck valves.
