    My 68 Cuda Trunk Trim from Steve Clair Young

    I had the same thing happen, only with Sixpack carbs. Poor repackaging and he never insured them. Said that it wasn't his fault.

    Engine popped back thru carb and died, no start issue

    Hopefully it won't embarrass you again. I have had a no start twice, embarrassing in front of people. It had something, for me, to do with ign. Something with the coil, ballast and or the chrome module. Ended up being a bad coil. But I think about it every time I have people around...

    Question: What is the Best timing chain setup LA or Magnum

    Solid lifter initial valve lash adjustment

    It doesn't matter, he should go with what they ask for. After break in or driving around for a week end, he should recheck them. Solids should be checked periodically, as should hyd's. It doesn't matter, really, .002 to .005 won't kill anything if it's off, that's why we recheck things. Move on

    Solid lifter initial valve lash adjustment

    Adjust with what the lash is supposed to be. After you break it in, check them again. The lash will open up roughly.005 from cold to hot.

    Picture of your hood

    Obviously, what looks good is in the eyes of the beholder. Only one of the above appeals to me, #13, but looks to have the car to back it up. So, you are the beholder, do what you like.

    connecting rod help

    Yes, that would be my guess. The ones that I sold to my friend were floating.

    340 six pack carbs will this work? 440/340 combo
