Re: Help with a recent 8ba rebuild
Got it, Jim. Thank you and that's what I thought. Maybe you can tell from my post, I don't fool around with the side mount distributors much if at all. LOL!

Re: Help with a recent 8ba rebuild
Just curious, when you guys are recommending to move the rotor one or two teeth, can you explain more what you mean? All of the flathead distributors I've dealt with just have a flat spot for the...

Re: 8BA Bell housing
I do believe the only difference is the cast iron truck one will take a 11" clutch and the stamped steel Mercury can only fit an 10" or smaller.

Re: Where’s my water going?

Re: KR Wilson engine lifting bracket
Ahh. Interesting. I don't own one, but I've thought that's how it worked. Thanks for setting me straight. I've been on the hunt for one for years. They've all seem to have disappeared.

Re: KR Wilson engine lifting bracket
Yep. I believe you can flip it 180 degrees to have the motor angled either forward or back, right? The offset changes the angel the motor will hang.

Re: Flat head back firing pop. pop over and over
Check the spark plugs. Carbon fouled spark plugs can cause these symptoms. If not the spark plugs, could be valves. Run some SeaFoam in the gas and squirt some Marvel Mystery Oil in the spark plug...

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
Not a bushing, but a plug or grub screw to block or close that hole off. Without the push rod in place, oil will be forced through that hole. In a stock set-up, the push rod would cause resistance...

Re: Skip Haney
That's really odd. I verified the number I listed was the one on my phone. Maybe there is an issue with the phone service in FL?

Re: Break-in gone wrong!
