Re: 12 V conversion
Missed a few items, change the polarity and resistance for the coil and add a voltage drop(s) for the gauges.

Re: '35 Radiator / water out the tube
Not sure why you would want to go to 160 deg thermostats, what is the point in that? You want the engine to run at least at 180, 185 or 190 would be better.

Re: ultimate flathead
That explains the great switch over in the late 50s, LOL. You gotta love the part about a flathead being able to turn higher rpms and a SBC.

Re: ballast resistor/circuit breaker questions.
Ballast resistor is to reduces the voltage/current to the original coil. The Ford coil was designed to operate on the lower voltage. One advantage is the resistance of a ballast resistor changes as...

Re: Calling Ol'Ron, calling Ol'Ron...
Your machinist should be able to measure your valve springs for you. You need to determine the spring seat pressure at a specific spring height. That height may or may not require shimming. Any...

Re: Correct replacement for Fram C181-A?
If it was me, think I would take the filter I had to a parts store and compare the length to some other filters from different sources. That would show you any differences.
