Found a 59AB flathead was told it ran a couple years ago.
It is real nice and clean. I did pull the heads and they have slight ridge on the cylinder wall and the valves look good and clean.
It is missing the distributor, does anyone have one for sale at a decent price or am I better off running aftermarket.
Are all 59AB's 239ci.
I can purchase this engine for 300 dollars which seems like a good deal for a clean and almost complete flattie, and I think will run with some time and a little money.
Just would like some imput.
Thanks.......
