Ron, It is a Load-O-Matic. It runs crappy with the vacuum hooked up. I was able to get it to run decently at 12°BTC with the vacuum disconnected. It makes 17.5MPG this way. I have a Malloy Dual-Life that is centrifugal only. It needs to be modified for the tang drive oil pump. The later Ford six units have both centrifugal and vacuum. They also need the modification. I think from all the work that you and Richard did have convinced me that one of those be the best type to use.
