Default Re: Model B engine in an A

As I have posted before, my firm belief is the reason for so many B blocks cracking is related tot he crappy distributors Ford used on them. After not so much use, they don't advance fully which means that the engine is running retarded. A retarded engine runs hot. Hot engines crack.
Simple as that!
If you were to ditch the original distributor and substitute an after market one with auto advance, you will be fine with a B engine.
