Projects Running 49 flathead

I have a video of my flathead running on a stand. Can anyone hear an issue with it? https://photos.app.goo.gl/3mZGkBa918fcsVvh7

 

Maybe carbs are too rich. Check the distributor, if using the Loadamatic.

 

Short video. Really too hard to judge.
Seems to be taking gas well.
The valves seem a little too noisy. But that’s only a small impression based on what little can be seen. Exactly what are you suspecting?

 

Motor missing and a non operating piston.

 

The motor is new.

 

Couple wires crossed...?

 

Is this a test?

Need type of distributor please.
Lots can be attributed to a miss.
Compression? Plug fouled?
Plug wire bad and distributor shorts

 

Ok, you say ''The motor is new.''
It's a bit hard to hear with the straight pipes, but to me it sounds a bit retarded. (I could be wrong)
Has it had a tune up proir to starting, as in set plug gap, HT leads in the correct order, points / cam dwell and timing set, carb float level, and idle mixture set??

 

MSD distributor. NASA conducts tests! I'll have to take it back to the builder.

 

This. 15486372....notice 8 and 2 are reversed from later Ford firing order.

 

I'll have to take it to the builder via shipment.

 

Just wondering who the builder was. And did they dyno test it first?

 

The builder was Jeff Jones located in Fresno California. I don't believe it was dynoed.

 

I got it running, however, the motor wants to cut out after 3rd gear. So what is happening?

 

Most likely cause is fuel starvation.

 

5 and 7 are rather clean. Are they getting steam cleaned from a little leaking water?

 

You painted it purple! No wonder it’s pissed off and not behaving right.

 

Don't know
