Thanks guys. I’ll give Bruce’s process a try.
What am I missing. There aren’t any timing marks anywhere on my motor or the crank pulley. What am I pointing the timing light at

I want to be able to check the timing on my 59A flathead and everything I read says the best way to time the motor is to use a vacuum gauge. My...
Thanks for the offer. I made a second template out of Masonite and it fits nicely. I’ll have a local auto glass shop cut the glass for me. You are...
That’s what I’ve found. I’m making my second template but thought I’d see if someone knew the factory dimensions. The width across the top and...

The frame has not been C notched. I'll look into the other type of spring. Thanks
Tough group. Here are some photos showing the stance and the shackles. When I said flip them over I meant I'd try to get the spring eye on the...
Thanks for all the feedback. The car was built by a professional shop for the guy I bought it from. Everything under the car is new. American...
