Default Re: 50 flatty idles well revs okay, but will not drive down the road.

It's a good start. Then you can run any carb or duals after. See CharlieNY or others for carbs.


Don't try to throw parts at it. But it's up to you. You arn't going to be able to just replace the coil and know if the vacuum advance is working right. It will take more time.


Bosch coil is for vw bugs. Here ya go......

*** I'll add, to not add more money to things (although a mech advance diz from bubba is around $150) If you have or may have a working carburetor and vacuum setup. You might be fine. but not with that coil. Buddy had a 50s business coupe that wouldn't do a burn out, after a mech advanced dizzy he did, Your call! Best of luck!!****


I'm not saying this is it... it's a system that's so simple its complex. Get one done.
