OK...I've installed a fuel pressure regulator (set to 2.5) with no improvement. Also changed out the 6v fuel pump to a 12v model. Checked the...
Thanks all. Hadn't thought about the ignition possibility. I'll double check everything and see whats what.
Yep. Just installed that exact regulator. While it's better, she still hesitates under load. Psi is currently set at 2.5. Thinking maybe the...
I'm currently running the stick mechanical fuel pump in my 50 flatly along with an electric pump. Starting to think running both simultaneously...
Random thought...since I converted to 12v, I didn't change the 6v fuel pump. Works fine (just pumps more). Could this be a possible cause of the...
Thanks for the great feedback. Was kinda thinking it was the accel pump. I'll do some checking and see what happens. Thanks for taking the time...
I had rebuilt my 94 incorrectly, so instead of dying I figured I'd take it to a well know local carb shop for a good once over. Once installed,...
I think I done did it. Converted to a 12v system from a 6v and wired the gauges incorrectly. Awesome. I *think* I may have fried the fuel and temp...
Follow up question to my follow up question...thoughts on keeping the 6v version of the OD relay? Seems like that might burn out in a hurry but...
Quick follow up question...anyone have experience using Runtz for 6v dash gauges? I've seen a few threads that they can get finicky about...
Once again...the HAMB to the rescue!
I've read a few of the previous threads and cant get a definitive answer. Hoping there's more info available...currently running a 6 volt system...
Searched the old posts for info but the most recent I saw was from 2004. Looking for a reputable paint and body shop in the Phoenix area. Heard...
If so, yuk. Not what I had in mind. Looking for skirts that are flush with the body of the car. Anyone have a lead on this?
Picked up a pair of skirts for my 50 from Mac's. Meant to fit 49-51 models. This is the first time I've attempted to install these and for the...
Dagnabbit! Anyhoo...yes, skirts. I like the shaved look...to a point. From what I've heard, electric poppers are a pain, so figured the Lincoln...
My 50 is coming along nicely. Waiting for the long Phoenix summer to break. I'm using these few months to get some things addressed. specifically...
I've searched the previous threads but didn't see this on come up...horn ring off...center nut off...started to use rented puller and found that...
Interesting theory Pistn. Thoughts on alternative ways to seal the senders?
I'm running a 6 volt system on my 50 shoebox and it works just fine. No need to convert to 12 just yet BUT I do (think) I have a faulty temp...
Last question (maybe). I've replaced just about everything I can (fluids, wires, sender, thermostats w/1/8 hole drilled) and I still get goofy...
Thanks for all the great suggestions. Think I'll pickup a therm as noted above to see what the actual temp is. Strange thing today...changed out...
I'm new to flatheads, so this might be a "known issue"...I recently installed a newly rebuilt flathead in my shoebox. Before it was dropped, I had...
I've noticed that the base area at the bottom of my carb (where it meets the intake) is "sweaty". I can certainly slap some gasket seal on it to...
Hm. Lots to digest. And yes, I could/should have searched a bit before posting. Sorry. Appreciate the cautionary notes but momma always said I was...
After a few months, there appears to be a lot of interest in starting a club in my 'hood. Having never starting one before, I'd appreciate any...
Looking to change careers...drastically. I haven't had much luck finding hotrod schools in AZ. Sure, there's the UTIs and such which are great but...
New coils and double checked the seating. Prob my fault for not rechecking my message...the front appears to be about 1" higher than the rear....
I lowered my 50 shoebox about 2" by using the Aerostar coil trick in the front and put blocks in the back. I should have gotten (if I read the...
When I bought my '50 shoebox, it came with a trunkful of parts. I got most of them figured out but this one has me stumped. My gut tells me its a...
