Default Just a Little Deuce Coupe with a Flathead Mill, running again after the rebuild...

It's running really good. I had to go up from 0.035" to 0.040" jets in my Stromberg 81s and it's running great! The L-100 cam sounds great and has great driveability. It's a 265 inch engine, 3.248" x 4.00" Merc crank, Arias pistons which fit the dome of the Edelbrock heads extremely well. Before the rebuild, I was at about 7 1/2:1 compression and now I'm at 9.1:1. The 12 volts was another great improvement, it starts immediately and my taillights are visible even in daylight! Thanks to everyone here who offered advice and helped get me through the build. Here are some pictures and a video. Randy
