I'm a bit confused. I have a 6v 59A with an electronic module and a petronix coil. Jim had said on another thread that the coil shouldn't be more than 1.5ohms but .6 is too low? what is the perfect ohm coil? If I have the .6ohm coil should I use some type of resistor to get the amps down?

Bubba, I'm suspecting a bad electronic ignition issue with my 48 59A 6V system too. Once I get around 2300rpm I start dropping cylinders. If I said Bubba, I want a crab style distributor that will work in my car, ready to run how much would that set up be? I currently have a Petronix coil, but I...

I have a BeA, it works like butter, probably a little more expensive, but if you plan on doing many more jobs in the future, it'll last, and work like it did on day 1.

The EAB is complete, it hasn't run for years, but I keep it free'd up.

I'm starting to notice a deep knock in the bellows of my 59A engine in a 48 sedan stock drive train, no OD on the trans, so I'm trying to think ahead. I have a complete EAB in the garage, and I was wondering if I start going through the EAB and making sure that engine is solid, would it be a...

For those with lowered front ends, what shocks are you using? I assume they need to be shorter.

Thanks

I'm wondering how to remove the stainless trim all down the sides and hood. Are the clips the style you pry at the bottom and lift up?

By chance does anyone have a picture of the passenger door window regulator for a 48 sedan? The other day when it was hot here my son went to roll down the window but it was stuck from the bead melting. Before I could tell him stop,it let loose but now it skips and binds. I can get the window...

Charlie, I still have the original coil off of the car, which I think is in good shape, will that work or should I go with the new coil?

Being new to flatheads, and starting off with one that wouldn't run, I'm happy to say I've put around 1500 miles on it this summer with the help of you guys. My only issue that I need to resolve now is even warmed up to operating temperature (at the 1/2 mark) the engine starts breaking up at...

I have a 48 sedan, when I got the car, there was a cotter pin going through the middle pivot. I replace that with a 1/4" bolt and nylock nut with slight tension on the bolt. Also the one rod was not connected to the back of the radio, so I connected that as well. But while driving it still...

For those of you who said broken rotor, you are correct. I ordered the parts off of amazon for a 1942 car, it's a convenience using it. Foolishly I didn't check clearance when i had the distributor out to switch the cap clamps, honestly of all the cars (mostly newer than 1970) I've ever replaced...

I'll check that stuff out tomorrow, thanks for the input guys
