Default Re: Flat head RPM range

Then on the other hand my father bought a new F6 in Jan 1951 a leftover. Factory
governor says Ford on it probably made by King Seely. Governed at 3000 and yes
still has the 'lead seal' its a dump truck and will do 60 empty and just nurse the gas
pedal and it may just nick 62. Its purpose was only to kick it up momentarily to the
governor then shift it. Got a hard time that people need that 65 70 in any vehicle,
now, like from the 1950s 60s when many states with no speed limit. Around here in
Masshole takes you 20 min to go a mile in a half. Model T is perfect and I don't live in
a city either.
