Good to see you here Richard!

If any of the readers here are wondering about the Chevy conversion, I drove the 36 to Nashville a couple of months ago. It has a Chevy Points distributor with 3.25 9 inch rear end and S-10 5 speed.

Monteagle Mountain in I-24 is a 6% grade for 4 miles without any break. I topped the mountain at 65 mph and never came out of 5 gear. Temp was 195 degrees but it was still pretty cool weather at about 76 degrees. With the overdrive and the 3:25 rear, I probably have about a 2:50 to 2:75 final ratio.

The point is good ignition and proper timing is the best gift you can give a flathead. No way would I give up the Chevy conversion on my motor.
