1953 Chrysler flat head six!
I think I just saw a ghost. We used to have a 1962 Yale with a Chrysler flat head six in it at our old shop. We ran that thing up until April of 2006 when the company had an opportunity to replace it with a 1995 Hyster S-50 XL with 150" lift capability.
Yes, the old flat head six had a persnickety ignition system.
Seems like we were always having to reset the breaker points gap. We looked into converting it to a Pertronix electronic breakerless set up but we were unable to obtain a conversion kit from Pertronix, so we just kept on with the old girl like she was born until she was replaced with the Hyster.
