Re: New 5.5:1 Cylinder Head Availability

Good to know. I went the mill route with my V8 heads, and it worked great, but the A head is another animal. Thanks for the clarification.

Re: New 5.5:1 Cylinder Head Availability

Check with your favorite local machine shop and inquire as to having your head milled to your specifications.

Re: $200 flathead

Very cool project. Building a period correct Model A hotrod was always a dream of mine. Old flathead engines and Model A bodies were made for each other. Like Peanut butter and chocolate.
Good luck...

Re: Running, idling, not driving

Do you have a spare condenser to swap out? If you had Charlie NY do your carb, it ain't the carb that's the problem.
