Default Re: Flat head RPM range

I had a 4.44 in my Ford when I first bought it, and kept up with the traffic at 65mph, although with a frown on my face. The flathead won't redline with a stock distributor, because you'll get point float first.


Edit: I should mention that my engine is a 59L, so it may be higher reving than others.
