Default Re: Flathead tuning

Regarding timing...The 6 before is ok especially with your cam, but 32 is higher than a flathead likely wants. 25 all in by 2500 is usually a good setting. May have to modify the distributor to get it done.
As for the misfire, have you double checked firing order? Flathead has a couple cyls swapped compared to later Ford.
