Re: Manifold vacuum at idle... vs without...interesting observations

Your observations are spot on. At idle, the engine receives a less dense mixture and also there is some exhaust dilution due to cam overlap. All this means the engine needs more spark advance to...

This pole barn is merely a large metal shed. No treasure.

Re: The new 1940 Ford Book is now available

Ordered my book last night even though I don't have a 40. I have a 39 DeLuxe and there is a book for 38 - 39 models from the V-8 Club. Well worth having.

Re: Initial start on new engine

Re: Is it normal to build an engine test stand?

I have 3 test stands. Keep one used engine up and running to test rebuilt carbs and distributors. Always nice to know you have good units when starting a new engine.

Re: Flathead running cold

There probably will be 1/4 pipe plugs. Remove them and install drain petcocks. Use a hose and drain in to a bucket in the future.
