Hi Mike The gap tells the computer the position of the crank relative to firing #1 every 720 degrees. The slots on the front of the wheel are for turning the engine with a custom spanner wrench.

Hi Charlie Is this the Charlie I know in Denver? here is the finished Hollywood. All work done in the shop. Bumpers, grille windshield frames etc etc all fabricated in the garage. Fully independent ride. Dick

Hello Quickchange To answer your question, I do all the machine work. The item that looks like an intercooler, is a plenum. It sits on top of the original throttle bodies that I removed the throttle plates and made smooth runners. I had developed the runner lenght earlier and didn't want to...

Enclosed pictures of my latest version Flathead. New EM-TRON Ecu can tune each cylinder. Will take spark out of a cylinder that is detonating and put it back in asap. 2 & 3 do not like each other and they will swap detonation often. The EM-TRON recognizes it and tunes that individual cylinder...

Hello Ron My tests agree with you. I run 15 degrees idle. Jumps up to 25 for accel. Then tapers to 17 at 3200. I get comments on the smooth idle. If I want a rough idle, I would use 8 to 10. Dick in havasu

Glad you like it

Vergil I found some pictures that might explain the balance tube for the throttle bodies. These are the tubes I played with some jetting. ( air jets) You can also see the idle jets from a 97 I used to balance the bodies. It bleeds air from the top and comes out past the plates thru the opening I...

All TB's are tied into the aluminum tube that is centered between the TB's. They are the 3/8" black tubes that come out of the TB's. I tried jetting them etc etc, but now they are open to the plenum. I needed vacumn for the Columbia. I have a seperate line running to another tank for the...

This is an early version of my flathead. Runners are too short for the street. ( my humble opinion only) Looks neat, but I wasn't satisfied with performance. For the "traditionalists" I like this too, but not the plug readings that came with it. When I talked to Edelbrock, I was told that it...

Vergil The injectors I looked at were at www.asninjector.com To the members that support develoment, thank you. Those that don't, that's ok too.

I talked to him about a year ago and they were still selling them. I restyled the heads a bit with a "V8" logo. Also added a support for the fan. Dick in Havasu

Ron Thank you. This engine would not be as happy with a mechanical advance distributor. Dick in Havasu

Virgil I looked at some small injectors at SEMA . I like the injectors under the valve like you did. When I get ready, I need to tap your experience. The flatty has been thru your area several times going to Bakersfield. Dick in Havasu

Wow, thank you for your comments. I knew there would be some negs, but that's OK. For the fella that thinks it only got 204HP, it's the 305 ft lbs that drives it down the road. I did not build a race engine, this is a touring motor. At 65MPH, the motor is so happy that you can only hear the...

Enclosed photos of my flathead build. 304" engine with 8 throttle bodies. Engine produced 305 ft lbs and 204 HP. Peak torque at 2750 rpm. That's where she cruises at 65mph with the Columbia. Spark and fuel control with ECU. 9000 miles and runs great in the AZ heat. Ran it to BC and back...
