Thank you

Great looking motor! Where did you get the crankshaft pulley? Also what distributor are you using, Charlie from NY? Thanks

Way cool! Thank you.

Thanks for all the reply's. Angledrive I did already install my plug on the front of my motor thanks for the reminder. Mcgarrett I think I will replace the bushing seems like cheap insurance. Ken I have a book that shows the correct install, thanks.

I have two flathead camshaft gear covers. It is going into an 8BA motor. I am to the point on my rebuild to install the cover over the gears. I am using a Mercury 8cm cam. They look similar except one is a thicker cover. Is there an advantage to using either cover? Maybe I am over thinking this...

Not sure where to place this request. I am looking for a person to help move a C-4 transmission, flathead adaptor, a case of ****** fluid and some small parts on a pallet from Deer Lodge Montana to Circle Pines MN. Possible business to business pickup and delivery or residence if that works. I...

I have to agree with 38Bill. This weekend at Back to the Fifties in St. Paul there are usually, still a good number of Flatheads around. So cool.

Opps, forgot to add plus shipping.
