If either sensor failed, the engine wouldn't start, so the whole system had 1/2 the reliability of either sensor. That was one of the many reasons we traded that car in for an 01 Acura TL, which we're still using today.

    Yay, Flathead V8 :) I had just commented about that, coupla days back?
    Privileged Society, Hoovie - Never toughed it out?
    I do remember, the bolts on the flathead & when I got it off, the original, copper, head gasket, looked brand, spanking, shiny new.
    Reason for overhaul was, compression loss & oil consumption. Back in 1937 - That 85 HP engine, ran on monograde oil -
    No filter - Only, oil pick-up screen... Skull, distributor, keyed to the front of the nylon, helical, camshaft drive gear...
    Offenhauser & Edelbrock came to be known, decades later... There was a water pump on each bank - Integral with the engine mounts... Mechanical, cable brakes... Vacuum wiper... Vapour lock, fuel pump - Fixed by wet rag, atop?
    Safety of steel - From Pedal to Wheel? Any Colour - So long as it's Black?... Rust & Bullet Proof Vanadium steel, body...
    Transverse, leaf springs/ Friction, shock absorbers… Good Ol' Henry :)

    I had a 53 mercury flat head in a 41 ford business coupe!! I had an Offenhauser tri-power intake manifold with three Stromberg 97's progressively linked.
    This was a real pain to keep adjusted properly with three carburetors. I opted to go back to a single carb polished and ported intake manifold and purchased an aluminum adapter for a small Rochester 4 barrel Carburetor (56 Chevy 265 cid.) with manual progressive linkage that used 2 barrels up until throttle was more than half open (adjustable). Worked very well!! Low idle was 2 barrel almost the same as the Ford carb, but after that came on very powerful. This was a great set-up for me. Simple Idle adj. and mixture adjustment . Wide open fuel mixture was almost perfect for max performance without too rich of a mixture for top end performance!! Good luck on your build. You are probably over powering this motor for the stock crankshaft and bearings. Also overheating is a problem for the flathead. You need really good (high flow) water pumps and the best large copper radiator you can find. Possibly an electric fan in front. The cooling is very in-efficient in these motors.
    Also use the best head gaskets money can buy with these higher compression heads. Most of the old timers took out the motor and gave it a complete overhaul with all of the parts replaced and matched with the horsepower rating desired!!!

    I love the Woodie! I'd love to see you add some period high performance flathead parts with a dyno before and after to see how much power they were really good for!
    Those old flatheads and some newer engines were also used as air compressors. They just replace one head with a air compressor head and ran the engine on the other four cylinders. There's an idea for you Hoovie!

    Hey Hoovie! Check your camera and render output. I'm seeing a bad jitter happening. A good example is around 7:57. Check your memory cards also. If they haven't been replaced in a while they might be wearing out and causing dropped frames. (Which is what this looks like.) Thanks for keeping us sane during the quarantine.

    On the farm I grew up on, we had a 4 ton '49 Ford dump truck with the flat head v8. My dad had it since new. You can imagine how power challenged a dump truck is with that flat head engine. I learned how to double clutch every shift as there were no syncromesh tranies in those days.

  • @granthargrave2319

    Watching you take that head off took me back to when I was 14 or 15 doing the same thing on my father's '48 Mercury (rebadged Ford) pickup which had the same engine. It was the first chance I got to work on a car engine, although I had dreamed about it for years. When I got the head off. like you, I was so proud I had to show it to someone. I carried it into the house much to my mother's horror. My father had a very similar woody, a '50 or '51.

    My dad had a 1950 Mercury 'sled', 2 door coupe for his work car. I remember working on that car, flathead and all. It still had the 6 volt system, and oil bath air filter. And my dad, not wanting to spend $ on extras, would use a roll of toilet paper, without the tube in it as the oil filter, in the cannister by the fire wall. it must have worked, he drove it that way for years. Thanks for the memory.
