It’s a good old truck!
Checked cranking pressure on 1 cylinder with throttle open and the other 7 spark plugs in.
200 PSI.
Makes me happy .
That number or more has worked well for me when I need good stump pulling torque out of the hole.
My 200" inline 6 ford had 210 my Corolla has 210 My 57 had 225 with the other cam I had and now is at 195 and down on low end grunt just a bit.
At one time that engine had 245 PSI when I had it in my Nova. Ridiculous hole shot.
I have been tweaking the tune today to eliminate a 2000-3000 RPM rolling bog when you nail the throttle.
I have actually never experienced that and it could be the GM Iron intake.
But more jet changes and tweaking will eventually tell me something.

Ha my daughter and I were in there a month or so ago. I kept thinking I heard a voice that sounded familiar. It was dead slow at 9:30 ish on a Saturday morning.Haha! Buy4Less at NW 23rd and Council. The place just changed hands and I think the name is gonna change but the employees will remain the same!You definitely need to stick your head in the door. I only work on the weekends right now though ... Which is fine and dandy with me.
Yep. That was me ... Hahaha!
I have yet to ride in it! I enjoyed the 57. I have been looking around for a 57 ever since!
Pretty cool but its still a dodge lol
If it is a 1940 and rolling .... it will not be a disappointment.... Just saying.
My plan was to resto-mod to drive it to work from time to time. But the flatheads are rather expensive to build compared to a small block. It’ll end up a weekend cruiser after some body work and a disc brake conversion.
Flat heads can be made fast! I like em.
