distributor

[demingboy]

Sorry about that. It is a top mount distributor. Ia a 1951 ford motor in a 1941 super deluxe car. I (after much reading) will just install the Petronix 6 volt negative ground. I believe one problem is the 8 volt battery, lack of cranking amps also.
Will switch to the almost 200. dollar battery I read about here on the forum. Makes sense that starter takes amperage away from points on start up.
Really like reding about flathead,s and performance, Such that I will be putting on some EAB heads that have been milled slightly. Also a new intake manifold with the Holley 4 barrel.carb. I believe it is the 390 cfm one.
Only gotta figure out now how to best do exhaust Am leaning on just getting the exhaust system for dual exhaust from Waldrons.
I am aware that I will need a cam at some point but just looking for a little more pep on otherwise stock 8BA motor. Will re jet secondaries if need be, worried about washing out cylinders with excess fuel .
Fun times ahead
