Joe,
I got it started the other day and it sounded pretty good, no lifter noise or any rattling so I think I'll leave it in untill I get the car done and then go from there. I would like to put a flathead back in it but everyone that I have talk to around my area says to leave the chevy motor in it cause overall it would be less expensive and easier to maintain.If you can't fix it then crush it

thats sooo true, unless ya got $$$$$$$$$$ to burn the SBC is the way to go. yes i dig flathead also but when i had my own ford that had a stuck flathead(been sitting 20+yrs w/heads off) & then i priced the parts to do it i about fell over along w/ya dont know if ya got a good block untill you get into it. if my memory is correct for what it would of cost me to rebuild my flathead i could of bought 2 or 3 new SBC crate motors. so it was an easy choice for me....SBC..................joeDonate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
