Hi Guys Been away on a holiday to Greece…. I set the distributor by this tread: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126536&showall=1 Replaced all the plugs and it fired right up. It‘s now spinning smoothly and no after- and back fire under acceleration. I believe that, I either...

Hi all Thanks a lot for your help. Maybe some day I will stumble over a timing device. Tried bidding on ebay but the bids gets astronomic and I still have to pay import tax afterwards. I got 3 sets of point on ebay - old stuff in the original boxes. I pulled the distributor yesterday for...

Hi Hoop Thanks a lot - that makes sense. Will have another look at the distributor. You make it sound pretty simple :-). I'm used to set timing by a timing light so this is all new for me. Fun to find another Dane in Fordbarn :-)

Hi all The issue is that I replaced or rebuild every single engine part after I had the engine rebuild in a shop. It includes: Oil pump Fuel pump Coil Distributor Fuel line og vacuum line Sparkplug wires Sparkplugs Stater motor Water pumps Dynamo Carburetor And that makes it harder to pin...

I need help to solve an ignition issue. I use a stock 1935 distributor with an external coil and I got a clear blue spark at the sparkplugs. Tested on the sparkplug wires. I also checked the sparkplugs today and found 2 not working - number 3 and 6. I’m using Champion D16 but I ordered 8...

Replaced sparkplug 7 and 8. Will take rpm now but now I got a lot of popping out of the exhaust. I'm using Champion D16 plugs actually not great as I need to replace them quite regularly. What can cause the popping ?

Cleaned and checked vacuum connection. Sparkplugs are covered in black sod except from number 7 and 8. They are wet and properly not working or not getting a spark. Left bank is not as hot as the right bank. Am I running to rich due to the black plugs? I got a set of 0.048 jets.

I also rebuilt the fuelpump with new diaphram - it was a complete kit. Pressure is fine. I ran the car with the same Holley 94 carb before the engine rebuilt. I noticed the hole in the carb base but its blocked off by the gasket/manifold. Would hate to have to spend another 300$ on a new...

Im sure the sparkplug wires are connected correct but I will check again :-) The shop told me it was ready to go. They adjusted the lifters. Sticky valves could be the problem - will try som MMO. The condenser is new but I will try exchange it with my spare. Will post update..

Hi I finally got my 1935 back on the street but only to run into at new issue :-) The engine has had a complete rebuild at a machine shop and I therefore took time to rebuild both the carb and the dist. to make sure everything is in perfect condition. I’m running a Holley 94 carb with 0.050...

Solved - it was as simple as a bad battery. Battery is only one year old. Replaced it with a new with more amp.

I'm using a stock mehanical pump. I dont like to work with wireing so ............

Hi Thanks all for your input. Had 4 boys to help me push start it and it was spinning so smoth I could not belive it. Could not start it with the starter afterwards so its proberly the ground connection. I also realise that I painted the oil pan before assembly. Will try cleaning...

Hi I checked my main jets - 51 og PV is 7.5. I rebuild the carb last year but the engine broke down shortly after. Engine i s back in and I guess I better go trough the carb again. I'm from Denmark - does someone have a link to a online store where I can find the right Holley 94 parts -...

Lol :)

Hi I got a single Holley 94 setup on my completly stock 1935 221 cui flathead. I know its not the correct carburator for my car but... Im running rich at idle and speed. What size main jets should I use/try? Which PV size should I use/try?

Hi Battery is from last year - charging ok. Its the original wiring. I replaced the ground strap, engine to frame, to ensure a good ground.

Hi I'm having some trouble turning my rebuild flathead over after rebuild. It fine without the plugs but that doesnt bring me anywhere :-). I could push start it but I got 2 meters to road level from garage :-( Any tricks - thanks

Great - thanks :-) I will check the dist caps.

Hi I got at 1935 stock flathead engine. My dist is bad and I found a good 1937 dist. I know the advance curve is different. Is there any issues that I need to be aware of. Is seem to ping a lot more?
