Re: 8ba cooling question
I checked my car several years ago and also found the left bank ran hotter than the right. I have Fenton headers on the car, so I don't believe the exhaust had any influence on it. I don't remember...

Re: Evans Aluminum Heads
They're all pretty much the same. The important part is that any heads need to be custom fitted to the particular engine to obtain optimum quench. See the thread By "GB Sisson" entitled "276 stroker...

Re: What is this ?
Good eye, "Kube". I completely missed that. Another example of your attention to detail.

Re: engine stumbles under load
I had a MSD "Ready to Run" distributor on an 8BA and it had too much advance (Chevy Curve). I went back to a mechanical only Mallory and have been very satisfied. Although the major car manufacturers...

Re: Oil Pump?
I don't believe any of that for a minute. Did you know that the factory specification for oil pressure for an 8BA was 57psi at speed. Even the early engines ran a lot more than 10-15 psi unless they...

Re: Bucket seats for 50 Ford
If your seat is in bad condition you might want to consider a set of these on eBay : https://www.ebay.com/itm/325564645547. I'm considering getting a set to protect my decent original upholstery.

Re: Upgrading to a different carb/intake?
Nice engine; it just needs more carburetors:D (the "look", you know). Unfortunately, that will require a distributor change. I prefer vintage "flattop" Mallory's".

Re: Upgrading to a different carb/intake?
As I first said, "I have no idea". My knowledge of the detail on the French Fords is close to zero. I just wanted to raise a warning about the standard Ford "Load-A-Matic" system being an odd beast....

Re: chevy dizzy for flatheads
Now that you have Charlie's contact information, I think he would probably be the best one to answer this. He may also be able to supply the proper core.
