Flathead distributor vacuum
#1
#2
In general I have heard thet the answer is no, there is not enough vacuum to run the stock dizzie (you have 1/2 total CFM at each carb).
Here is a good techno article on this subject:

You can find it at the "Techno Source for the 1932 thru 1953 Flathead Ford" site:

There is a discussion about some ideas for fixing the problem (especially that you sould not use manifold vacuum for this purpose). I don't have practical experience with this, but others here will likely be able to help you out with some ideas.
Good luck.
