[Gmecm] flathead ford files?

[Eck, Joel]

Did you use shielded wiring for the pickup coil to the ignition module, or at least twist the pair of wires? I'd be concerned about interference/noise on that signal.

I have done this! Got a 1944 4.0L Ford / Lincoln flathead running under TBI with 1227747 ECM.

The car hasn't been tuned or driven yet because the clutch and brake pedals and shifter aren't ready. The manifold is a real work of art.

Some pictures are here:

The only problem is, the engine has an awful cam in it and I don't think it will ever run smooth unless this is replaced.

Sincerely,
David

I don't know but it would be a favorite of mine as I have always loved the old "Flat Heads", first engines/cars I ever worked on.

 Hey with the nostalga craze, I wonder if anyone has done a old ford flathead  using a gm computer--there are electronic distributors on the shelf for them.  maybe something like a 3.5 rover hotwire system would be the closest, but yes im aware rover uses lucas stuff.
