Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Thanks Walt, thats great information, I appreciate that. I am awaiting a distributor from Bubba for it so hopefully its not to far away. We did exactly as you said with the balancing of the PP and FW and marked the mounting relationship accordingly after balancing the entire rotating assembly. John

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Clutch is a 1946-48 Style I think, which was what the flywheel was from so I was told so I figured I would try to keep it compatible. At 276 cube I dont know what the HP increase would be over the standard 100HP 48 engine so I figured 10" would be o.k.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Joe, yes had the block acid dipped twice and hot tanked three times, sonic tested the bores and crack tested the block. Had two small cracks from studs to water holes, nothing to be concerned about I was told by the engine machine shop. Its one of the cleanest flathead blocks I have seen and the best I could get.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
No, you do not need a different gear set in order to turn something the correct direction.
The only issue with a HV pump is related to the amount of oil which is sometimes bypassed and therefore can contribute to adding temperature to the oil. The fact that the HV pump is not necessary does not mean it will cause damage. It won't. The pictured pump is not the typical HV pump. |

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Anyone have a reliable source for 8BA electronic distributors for a flathead, will look at any options as I want to get this engine finished.

Re: Newbe From New Zealand
Fairlane, Your question should read: "Anyone have a source for a reliable electronic distributor..."
From all reports here in Shaky California, electronic ignitions are heat sensitive and unreliable. Best to stick to original Ford.
