I tried hot and running. Epic fail, SBC i can knock out quick while running but the adjustment is made in the center. I could see paying an hr of labor to refinish the tips. A little excessive but pretty much a minimum charge in my opinion. A cold adjustment makes no sense. Nothing is in...

The guy I got this from put Lucas in it to keep the noise down, which it didn't. I think I ran 5w20 this time and this spring going to 10w30. I am not afraid to put a couple bucks in the /6 but I don't see the plus to pouring money and time into it. Either way, it'll run for a long time.

A couple are a lot louder than the rest. I have a gm in line 6, granted it is hydraulic, and it quiets down as it is adjusted. Solids are going to be a little louder but not like these. I will look for that shim kit. I assume it would be a lot cheaper.

And I will do pictures on a computer. The phone thing is not working out well for me.

Just traded for a 72 dart swinger. 225, auto, bone stock, 4 Wheel drums and bone stock. This year's plans are to get the front end tightened up. Ball joints, bushings, add front sway bar, misc joints in the steering are on the top of my list. Coil overs, power and disc brakes and as many...
