No the Chevrolet brothers raced Model T based cars and came up with parts for those.
This is what a `32 Ford with a real Lincoln V8 looks like. The Lincoln has a visual advantage in my opinion, in that the cylinder heads don't have...

Are we talking about putting this in a 1937 Ford car? If so run the shortie waterpump that Ford Racing sells for these apps. If you are running...
I'm in Florida. I'm interested.
The advance curve in the Duraspark distributer is lazy as well. Having it recurved would give you great bang for your buck.
Wow so there it is! I sorta knew the guy that owned it. His name was Greg. One day he pulled up to our shop in Port Richey Fl. in that car. I've...
