When the oil hole was lined up, did you try putting the rocker shaft back on and letting the primer run for a bit?

This might be the problem in your case. You have to fill the hollow shafts before you will see oil oozing out the rockers. You probably aren't seeing the oil ooz out because the shafts aren't full yet so you rotate past the alignment of the oil passage. It's a catch 22. Next time you try...

My only concern with using strings would be if the strings stretch, changing the length depending on how hard you pull. If stretching isn't an issue I guess that would work.

Be sure to do a rim/tire compensation before you set toe.

Hub, not the wheel.

I agree, depends on the guy doing the alignment.

Just hold the gauge firmly against the hub to take the reading. Might need an assistant for caster swings or use your knee to hold the tire so you have both hands free. Are you planning on using turn tables? What is your plan for setting toe?

A fiberglass hood is not legal. Did you mean to say aluminum?

INTAKE: Must use unaltered aftermarket aluminum intake. From the rules.

The adapter is 2 straight round holes. It is the adapter you must use if you use an adapter and it cannot be altered. The adapter is only 1/2" thick. I have dyno tested the stealth and the Edelbrock and there is little difference between the two. My motor liked the Edelbrock better. Send a...

I'm not saying that a smaller carb can't make a lower ET at the dragstrip but for me the test at the dragstrip they used to confirm this was not conclusive proof. There may be better test out there to use as evidence. The article is written in a way to make you believe that the reason the car...

What is the data acquisition system you are using? Thank you.

This bit of information here is what gave it away. Good for you to post all the information you had. Glad you have it running.

I have a few of questions about this statement. You may have answered these already so bear with me. What is the voltage at the battery (volt meter + to batt+ and volt meter - to battery -)? With all the wires connected and the key in the run position . With the meter - connected to the...

It's been a while since I did that testing. We have to run a holley 4412 so the testing was done with a couple of different 2 to 4 bbl adapters and a couple different 4412's. If I recall correctly the power was similar with the 8022 making slightly more. But on my motor the ede. had better fuel...

Yes

About 4 1/4" in front and 5" in back.

The intake is on the motor. I might have another one that's off. I'll look tomorrow. If nothing else should be able to get a measurement off the one on the motor.

What measurements do you need? I can measure mine if you want.

no

The Edelbrock is shorter than the weiand. I think pretty close to the stock manifold and much lighter.

Why wouldn't you want to use one of the aftermarket aluminum intakes that are allowed? . INTAKE: Must use unaltered aftermarket aluminum intake. Allowed intakes are Weiand GM #7547, #7547-1; Ford #7515, #8023 or #7516; Chrysler #8022; Edelbrock GM #2701; Ford #7121, #7181, #7183; Chrysler...

Not sure what that is. Here is a wiring diagram. the thin red ignition wire needs to be connected to 12v source that has power when cranking and in the run position and no power in the off position. heve an assistant help you check voltage at the thin red wire. Google Image Result for...

In post 1 you mention you have a msd 6a. Is the thin red wire for the ignition wired to a switched 12volt source and not through the ballast resistor? I had a customer bring a vehicle to me with a hot soak no start issue that had been going on for a couple years. Car would start fine cold, he...

You have some conclusions about zinc that do not agree with what some others in this thread are saying. There is nothing wrong with that. I suggest with an open mind you present your conclusions to experts in the field tribology and get their input about what effects zinc has in oil and what...

The test could be done with different levels of zinc. It wouldn't have to be with or without.

I could be wrong but if I remember correctly the EGR should be closed at idle. I remember when I worked at the dealership diagnosing vehicles with a rough idle by using a screwdriver on the stem to pry open the egr valve and then letting it snap shut. Sometimes this would unstick a stuck valve...

Are you sure it's blocking it off? I can't remember how it is configured. On some chevys a flat plate won't block it off.

Is there an EGR valve on the manifold? If yes is the valve leaking or stuck open? Is there vacuum going to it at idle?

You said the cam is broken in already and I assume the rest of the motor is too. So you don't need break in oil any more. Now you need racing oil for flat tappet cams. There are many oils that are suitable for this. Take your pick. As a hobby stock you will probably put more or less 30 laps on...
