  • Anyone notice when I get a real jolt from the ignition at around the minute mark. I'm so focussed on what I'm doing I virtually ignore it.

    Thanks for the comments guys, I had a problem with the motor after a while, there was a washer or something got down on top of one of the pistons, it must have remained there for a while and then come dislodged and made a right mess of the piston. Managed to swap in one new piston and now it's been running a while it's the sweetest flatty I've ever had.

  • GOOD JOB ! it is so satisfying whena car starts up AFTER BEING LAID STILL FOR A LONG TIME ! WE'RE ALL WITH YOU !!!!

  • any effort is worth it to bring back a flattie. i don't care if the flattie doesn't produce as much horsepower, the feel and the sound of the flatties make up the difference.

  • 1940 ford i think is one of nices looking of all them old fords, i have a 1949 flat head in my 46 DeLuxe coupe, cant get know fire to the plugs, drive me nutts, new points gap right new coil, new every thing wont fire

  • Excellent! Time to get that Megajolt fitted now...?

  • So how does it feel then, being the coolest bloke on two continents?

  • sweet as a nut

  • Good Show Mart, The engine seems to be in good condition - I didn't see much smoke from the exhaust. Another one brought back to life. Cheers.

  • Jolly good, there! Rather nice rumble.
