Re: 1949 Ford State Police car
1949 was a long long time ago. It was a different world.
I dare say most "police cars" were standard sedans. Some of the police cars from that era may not have had a radio. If they did it was a...

Re: 8ba Head Replacement
Tubman I believe the EACs are just a step below the 8BAs being roughly equivalent to the 8RT truck heads.

Re: '65 289 rocker arm geometry help
As said those are the wrong valves for that head.
That's OK as you can simply get rail rockers, mid '66 to '77 or so. Those valves have to have rail rockers as darrell said.
I will add that...

Re: Can Not Get Idle Down on Flathead
My first thought is your carburetor. Check the linkage. It sounds like the idle circuit is not working and you are only running off of the power circuit.
You could have a dirty carburetor.

Re: Power Nation Flathead
