    [FOR SALE] 1971 Dodge Dart swinger v8

    he states the car is in Las Vegas in the ad Kim, so I looked on a map, Henderson is just outside of Las Vegas. he might be busy with Christmas (my thought anyway), and can't get back to the messages. Merry Christmas Kim

    lost my post, so do-over. thanks to all. I ran the car like yellow rose suggested. still a 'slight' tick, but that can wait until another day, if needed. here's the big news: found a phone number from 08 in the receipts for the car. called and left a message and the old owner/builder called back...

I took it up to the 3500 rpm's Rusty, but afterwards there was still a little tick. it's dark, cold, and I'm tired. I will get to it tomorrow and do some other checking. thank you ALL for your help, your...

    curious about valve lash setting/check

    you definitely helped, I was the only one making it complex. after doing it several times, it really is 'so simple' as you say. I was being WAY too meticulous finding the 'drag' on the spin. really helped when I started looking to take the slack out with the push rod going 'up and down'. you...

    curious about valve lash setting/check

    believe he meant from the chart yellow rose, at least that's what I took from it. I knew what he meant, so it's all good. thanks though, we all make mistakes, so it's nice to have someone else keeping an eye out.....and I'm leading the pack on mistakes! LOL
