Wish I knew the specs on my motor. The last owner did not know. Tried to get a hold of the owner before him, no response. But it runs and revs well.
What do you all think? Mild cam? roller? The MSD has the rev limiter at 6000 rpm. I do know that it is a 68 block. Not sure of compression. Any...
After mine warms up, it seems to run about 180.

Should I drill a small pin hole in the cap to allow air to come...
Any daily drivers out there? Commute cars? One and only way of transportation? Mine comes out weekly, but not in rain or snow.
Sorry, I meant YOUR.....
