this is step two of my research. i looked at a few common parts suppliers like rock auto and such and there was little available so I came here to confirm my suspicions. the goal with the car would be just to get it mechanically sound enough to drive it. with my 28 roadster, believe it or...

well, I wouldn't say I'm learning to swim, I'm just unfamiliar with the particulars of the lincolns. I currently own a 28 ford and am building a 32. both are filled with earlier ford parts though. flatheads, 3 speeds and banjo rears are my forte.... power steering, power brakes etc are new...

hey guys, I've kinda gotten caught up watching a bunch of youtube videos where guys take older cars and get them running again. mostly this is 50s cars that are in decent shape body wise and then sell them so they can work on the next one... it looks like fun to me. I've been looking at cars for...

any number tags on yours dale?? like I said, mine is manual choke, no spark port and a plugged hole in the venturi port with the extended throttle shaft. basically looks like they are either a generic carb or a larger replacement carb for early motors like a lincoln 12

physically the carbs are the same as a 94. only real difference is that the throttle plates are much bigger so the intake would need to be match ported.

I think there will be a huge difference as long as you can port match. the 2110 is a monster on the throttle plates. I need to get on finding a matching carb. all the dyno testing i've seen says 2x2 just isn't enough for a stout NA flatmotor that wants to rev and yours is REALLY stout. i'd like...

Tubman said the small base is 275 a couple posts up

i looked up the number and it wasn't a bugspray carb. pretty sure it was an oem ford unit or replacement from the 50's. the bugspray units have electric choke if I'm not mistaken.

Interesting that you are trying this dale. I'm building a blower setup and want to stick with 2x2 on it because three looks too crowded on the Eaton m112. I picked up a really nice 2110 that I need to find a match for. 1 5/32 venturis. Manual choke with plugged valve factory. Havent seen another...

One other thing often overlooked is the little chrome airfulters are like running a choke. I had 43 mains (maybe even less) on my 97s for years with the little chrome filters and if I pulled them off and drove around the block the car would barely run...

so while we are on the subject of ultra high performance flatheads.... what are the costs of billet cranks running for them?? do you guys run a girdle with a 2 extra main supports?? one of these days I'm going to make my way down to ron's hobby shop and be a fly on the wall to pick his brain...

Damn that's more than expected... the numbers I have found are 6-7hp per psi. A Chevy volt is 149hp so that would get you to 22.5psi at 7hp per.

Ronnie, I was thinking of robbing a motor from a Prius which gives about 60-70 hp. and batteries from a leaf or another electric car. It would take some serious engineering work but making a controller that maintains a specific level of boost when you are on the gas would be possible. Not sure...

yes, this was directed at bonneville only. weight and packaging isn't nearly as important.. well packaging can be but you can design around it. on a flathead you can use up a significant portion of your gains spinning the blower. there is NOTHING practical about electric supercharging...

I've been tinkering around in my mind on supercharging without losses.... think bonneville records.... need ballast in the nose usually anyway... so lets run some batteries up there and spin the supercharger electrically. they already do it with water pumps... why not the blower too. :D ****...
