And what these guys said above. The above mention of the cometic gasket is what I have done several times. There really is t a need to get super close but keep the quench under .050. It’ll be fine. Setting the quench super close is starting to gamble on everything else being great. That’s why...

Funny you’d mention that lead69, I had the original iron j heads on it up until now. I had polished, ported and gasket matched them. I’ve never used aluminum heads until now due to the cost but I had been using cosmetics with the iron heads. That being said I knew I couldn’t use them with the...

Well ok, I checked piston height the first time roughly with a straight edge and feeler gauge that’s where I got my original numbers. I just checked it again with a dial indicator and deck height bridge and I came up with .025 in center of piston and .038 on upper edge at valve reliefs when I...

Gentlemen, I’ve got a question about piston to head clearance. I’ve got a set of edelbrock 63cc heads that I want to put on my 340, the pistons sticks up .020 I’m using felpro head gasket .057 thick which leaves.037 before compressed height. Edelbrock says .035 clearance should be maintained at...

yep, fergot that, thanks..... and for what it's worth,,,,, removing studs is not hard, and chance of breaking one is minimal, less chance than screwing a nut onto a stud half way and then stripping it. Then you will be changing out studs.... Just saying

hey frobione, Just find yourself a fastenal store or something equalvent down there in portland, (i'm up in seattle). take one of the studs in and ask for some that are a 1/2 inch longer, screw them in and take all the worries away. that's where I get my fasteners from including carb studs...

I never take it over 6500, it starts to fall at around 5000, 1st and 2nd gear there is no problem. once into 3rd at around 5k it starts to miss and stumble. Could it be the coil? it's happened to me once before. I've tried jetting up and down from where it started with no change. and to the...

It's running with factory fuel line, I believe it was or is a holley 85 gph mech pump. Jets, I can't remember off the top of my head, I'll get those numbers tomorrow. The carb is a quick fuel 650. It ran great in the cooler weather but I ran the other day in 80 plus temp and it just fell over...
