Need info on Ford Flathead straight 6

[Burmafrd]

I have a Burma Jeep, GTB, bomb truck. Need info on what kind of carburetor the military variant of the Ford Flathead Straight Six had. Does it have a vacuume assist connection to the distributor?

I dont know anything about militart flatheads, but i have never seen one that had all sealed connections on them like the early deuces had. the flathead i have has a vacuum connection on the distributer for the vacuum advance. i think they all had it on them. Mine also had a vacuum governer below the carb. not sure how it worked, but i took it off. The flathead was on my 1940 ford pickup when i got it and now a small block chevy is sitting in its place.

Be sure you talk to him, some of the counter guys aren't into the older stuff like he is.
