I hear ya, My brother in law has a Massey 101 with a crysler flathead 6. I have tried 3 different models sizes of carbs on it, from an IH shebler, a Smaller Zenith, but, to no avail, the original carb a Shebler, was the best for it. it is just over 300ci, and has a torque curve that wont quit. From what I have learned, they breathe in a slightly different mannor, and the smaller carbs work on them. I dont have the part number off it at the moment, but it has a very long throat on the carb, but it is small in diameter, A few guys around here,, have both versions of the funks conversion, V8, and 6, sweet looking machines,, Always wondered if a 302 would bolt into one of these tractors,,,,, ,, Most advice I would give you is to check compression, see waht you are dealing with, under 200 psi, use a better octane fuel, and rejet the carb,, now u mentioned that u can get plenty of fuel,, is this from the stock carb, or did u modify it to flow? The chrysler,, is simular to the ford 6, in running characteristics, I classify these engines along with the wisconsin engines as far as parts design, they have lite rods and pistons, so no torque gain from them, hp,, fine tuned, lets say with 150psi, you are looking at 45-55 hp, but it will be a good strong HP, just due to mods u have done. Electronic igntion,, yes, do it, if they make the kit for it, when u do this, you lose the condensor,, and that alone doubles the coil output to the plugs. MSD can run with points to act as the trigger, use no condensor, the points are the trigger, the MSD takes over the rest. Way better starting,, and it seemed to smooth out the fuel jetting. Before, it could not take fuel enrichment, it would foul the plugs, since, opening up the plug gap, and the MSD, it will take the fuel it gets set at on the dyno. ChadS
