I have dual 94's on my 8BA flathead and ran direct linkage to start with, I later changed to progressive and think it starts and runs better with...

A lot of traditional cars, I've owned 7 flathead powered cars and two hopped Model A's, enjoyed the Bryan Fuller interview. My avatar was powered...
I had a set of Red's headers on my 50 Ford and my 53 Merc and they fit great no problems at all. I did copy the flange where the header bolts to...

If you're referring to the mount that goes on the U-joint housing I didn't use it on either of the FAM kits I installed, I guess it was to replace...
I don't think pure white would look good on a traditional 32 but the scallops like on the plane would make a world of difference!
I've had to straighten two frames from original cars, it's common since the weight of the transmission is hanging behind the rear motor mounts and...
I'm running a 8BA with early heads because I wanted the center outlets, Offenhauser 400 heads, Offenhauser intake with 2 Holley 94's, H&H flathead...
