No yet, too many "other" things to attend and then there are the "Love Jobs" I have to get done. Hopefully in the coming weeks I'll be able to get back to you.

You need a radial torque wrench to measure it correctly.

They all do.

I have the same issue also. You have to get all the difficult bolts on and then tighten them first. In your case go and get some bolts with a narrow head. I've even gone to the trouble of cutting a spanner at the top open to be able to tighten those bolts.

Idle Feed Restriction. If you pull the top off and turn it upside down you'll see where the the fuel travels up at an angle towards the booster outlet. Inside there is a little pressed in tube that should measure 31 thou from memory.

That sounds like the right top. Have you checked the IFR to make sure it isn't blocked or restricted in some way.

If you look at the top near the bowl vents there will be a number

What's the number on the top?

Means nothing to me. Are you sure its a 1972 TQ?

That's a lot of initial for such a mild combo. I would suspect its very lean at idle to require that much advance.

I figure it should be doable. Even a regrinding the factory cam to a smaller base circle.

That's what I thought. I know they sell a kit for the fords to do exactly that.

Has anyone adapted the factory hydraulic roller set up onto an older style block?

I'll never understand why Mopar guys still use 3/8 valves. What's the length of those valves by the way?

I literally just stuck one in over the long weekend. I'm at 10-1 318 60 over. I'll let you know how it goes.

Can you remember the camshaft specs?

You sure it wasn't because you like Turtles?

Yeah but I have few different manifolds I can put on so I managed to find one to fit (portosonic) but the heads have been milled a bit to get from memory about 58 to 60 cc from the 302 closed chamber heads. You have to measure it to really know where you stand.

I've got a 318 with Enginetech pistons that measured 10 thou down after the block came to me heavily decked. Compression height for those pistons is 1.741 so if you calculate the distance with with the piston(1.741), rod(6.123) and crank stroke (3.31/2= 1.655) you get 9.519. If you go by...

This^^^

Different colours indicate different gas species produced. Temperature is pressure.

Its an indicator of cylinder pressure.

And yet how many times have you heard its like a light switch at 3K......

You think you did more testing than Shrinker?

Neither of those.

Isn't that the problem? As you progress on your journey and you look for answers and the previous sources cannot provide you need to look elsewhere. There is a very well know Chinese saying: "When the student is ready the master will appear."

What happens when an engine makes more power when you increase the air temperature?

And stick a 2 inch open spacer on it and increase the plenum size.

I'd use it: Mopar Performance Parts - Horsepower Hop-Up It was only down 17 HP at 5400 RPM on a 340 against the airgap.

Yeah have a set of heads like that that a friend has done. He melts aluminium down and pours it in then tidies it up.
