HUDSON-- thanks for the info on the ignition-- we are dealers for Pertronix at my work (A-1 Street Rods, Colorado Springs) and I've not seen anything for the flathead six, I'll have to look a little deeper. My thoughts were to take a stock distributor, an electronic out of a small block Mopar and a slant six Mopar, between the three I figured I could come up with something. The HEI way sounds really good too.
I would like to run a Vertex mag in the "hot" engine, any thoughts?
I skimmed through the past posts concerning the oiling mods and carb mods, I'll have to go back to them when I get to that point on the rebuild. Any thoughts on shot peening the rods? What about relieving the block? I am going to run an Edgy head, He had one that had a flawed deck, by the time he got it straightened out his best guess was around 9.5 or 10 to 1 compression.I intend to try the gear drive setup, with the Isky 280/.448 cam grind.
My intention is to build my own dual intake and tube headers. I am planning on trying two Rochester two barrels.
