I'm sitting here looking over my flat head mill from the '40 Ford coupe kit (Revell) and I want to get the wire job right. Same as the Windsor small block?

To reply, get the HECK out of there
Or could it be 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2 like my Dad always taught me.
Thread drift is encouraged here folks.

Well you got me there. Thanks for the info. For anyone that's interested here's a pic of what AA is talking about:

If you like flathead Fords you'll love this site. Go to the main page and kick around a bit. Make sure you have your speakers on and listen to that sweet sound.

I actually owned a stock '40 sedan deluxe with the original flathead back when I was about 19. I rescued it from a guy that was going to chop it into a street rod with a... spit... hack... ugh... small block Chevy. He had just started the disassembly process at a local body shop when I stumbled

CHA-CHING!

The car came to me in parts but was all there and ready to go back together. I didn't get too far into the project though. I never dreamed I would be able to ship off to a good college after I finished with the local junior college. Somehow my sorry butt got accepted with one and without warning the need for funds loomed very large.

CHA-CHING!

I miss that car, but I'd miss my diploma even more - even if it doesn't open as many doors as it did back in the 80s. Than again, if it had been a coupe or a convertible, I don't know where I'd be today, but I know what would be in the garage.

To each his own, but I do agree--it should have been a BIG BLOCK CHEVY he was putting in! ; )~
