Re: Flathead project
Some progress, sent the distributor to Bubba's Hot Rod Shop a few days ago and will be sending the water pumps out tomorrow to Skip's. Hope to drop the pistons in this week, will post pics when I do.....

Re: Flathead project
Received my water pumps from Skips today. One of the pumps has a warped pulley, not Skips fault, when I sent them I thought that the shaft was frozen on one of them but now I realized the pulley is touching the pump body. My questoin is how can a I change out the warped pulley for a new one?
Thanks |

Re: Flathead project
Distributor update.
When this project started i hoped that lsjuniper would use the factory helmet with the build. You just cant beat the helmet when set up and ready to go. The picture shows the before and after , we have a very mad and dead spider , we named him Henry.. I have to replace the coil and hope to have a good used one to test tomorrow. The old coil had a shorted (open) primary coil and was junk.... Anyway heres todays update...... |

Re: Flathead project
The old coil had a open primary winding, dug around in the parts box and found a like new Niehoff unit. Ran on tester runs good.
Should look good with the new engine etc....... |

Re: Flathead project
Lsjuniper, I would be be checking for cracks before spending a lot of time on it. The bad ones are between the valves and the cylinders, the center cooling openings say big truck to me. If it passes the crack test, take the cam gear off to see if the bottom end will turn over, good luck Chuck S.
