49 8BA has no power

[speedshift]

Remember when the vac advance and the windshield wipers would both fade away on a rainy day in hilly Seattle? Had a 6 cyl 50 coupe, then got a 53 ohd six engine from Southend auto wrecking for $25. Took the flathead 8bas at the light, better torque curve.. now working on a 49 convert but a -brain bleed stroke makes it hard work.
