What is "good"? Do you have numbers? From the vacuum readings it looks like it either is way out of time, sticking valves and/or weak springs or low compression on one or more cylinders.
Man, I was so stoked when I saw the first two pictures. Such a classic hotrod with stance AND fenders. Then I saw how it digressed. To each his own but Fat Jack just rolled over in his grave. Might as well install a crate SBC now, that thing is just as bellybutton as the rest of them now
Send me a picture of yours. Big shot! None of the fenders were attached. This is the way he was running it in 1958 Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I love fenderless hot rods, my last one was built without ever intending on fenders. My Tudor sedan is fenderless. But that A had the classic Early Times look, search it if you like. Like I said, to each his own but if I had bought that with the fenders looking that fine they would never come back off! I just think so many folks just fall into the trap of having to take them off or its not a "real" hotrod
