Technical 51 flathead----no power???

doesn't matter if you move the wires 3 holes one way or the other #1 is still gonna fire at the timing mark... with the truck on the rack I checked the whole pulley... nothing...

went out riding around in it...way better but still lazy... might need to do a compression check... probley needs a couple quarts of marvel to seat the rings and clean it up...truck sat in a museum for 40 yrs,,,,

now it'll run 45 in second... but it just doesn't have the quick rev up and feels like it would never over rev.... just kinda flat...

 

Being a flathead owner myself, I thought no power was traditional! Lol.

 

Here is a couple of pictures of the bump. Maybe hard to see, but you can definitely feel it with your hand.

 

I couldn't get a good picture of the crank pulley on my V8 A but found a picture of the wide belt pulley I'm running in an ad. There is a difference in the wide belt and narrow belt pulley so they may not be marked the same.

 

That’s some nice welding!

 

thanks, I made the welder in 92
