New rotor next morning vrooom, and on my way, but alas with the missing and sputtering recurring and 8 jobs going on at once in the woodshop, I'm wondering if I was to make the run in the 47 tonner with the diesel conversion, is that OK? There are no flathead ford guys on the island and I'm setting up to build a 255 merc for the woodie this winter. I know my tonner PU isn't a flathead any more and it certainly isn't a hot rod at only 210 cu in, but that inline turbo'd six climbs pretty well. At least I'd meet some flathead guys!

Well GB there is plenty of parking for non flathead powered cars and trucks on the property. We usually ask them to park on the south side of the field. I have parked there many times while my car was under construction or broken. Come on over and visit with the guys. Maybe you will find a solution to your missing and bucking problem while you visit.
