Man O man, I can't believe that is a flattie. Holy cow, that **** is wicked sounding in both videos. Were both engines supercharged? I'd love just to get mine to just be a bad *** engine with some umph! What did the 258 post for speed? I could listen to a flattie all day long. There's just...

Thanks again, Ronnie. Didn't know I was in such honored company. Congrats on the salt flat award in 2018. When you get a chance would like to see the car and what you did to the flattie to make it so fast. Thanks again.

By the way how many gal. does does my '50 flattie hold?

Thanks a million Ronnie. Great looking rod too!

Thanks, Alaska Jim for the input. I will put it in the brain housing group. Mine is a '50 merc block with BA heads. Don't know how you have a lot a cruising time up in the tundra country! But I know any time is great with a flattie!

Thanks guys you made my dahttp://this Py. Never saw one before. Makes a lot of sense though! By the way it is original. Has the good ole MADE IN THE USA on fuel pump side and AC on the vac side. By the way, what do you all thin the whole setup would be worth? Offenhauser manifold, 3 Holley Demon...

Guys, I need some history on this fuel pump. If anybody knows what this came on or the name of it so I can research it I would appreciate it. I recently acquired a tri-power for my '50 Merc engine and can't find this anywhere on the net. I will try to attach pics, but beware I'm definitely not a...
