Diy_Efi for '49-53 Ford Flathead

[Frank Swygert]

Bob, I'm considering somrthing similar with my 63 Rambler six. Only I
will be going to the bigger 258 (4.2L) as found in Jeeps. They make TBI
kits for these, but I'd really like to "roll my own". That is unless I
find a good 4.0L Jeep engine (88-97... of course I want an older one!)
to drop in.
