Point taken. I will do more to get up to speed on my computer as well. Between putting a 12-14hr day on the farm and other events,its a gas man!!

Dart273,I never have owned a computer or a hotrod in my life ,so iam sorry if I fall short of your expectations! I will get pics. Posted ASAP. The reason I bought this "RIG" as you call it,was because I thought it has potential.With the great help from most of you I WILL know what iam looking at...

After I get my new chain in you can have the gear drive. Who is the other member from Iowa that has a conv.Dart?

I did some reserch on that pete jackson gear drive and it does have Retd/Adv.marks.Iwas also told gear drive takes away 8-10hp! So I'm replacing it with a good double roller. And ya,that spacer is gone! Now,to formulate the right thumpstick.

I just had a gut feeling the cam was apart of the problem. Like I said, the cam had no lope to it. Yes, the paper work said the cam specs. Were 475/475-308/308 it just didn't sound like it. With 3"pipes I should of heard a lope?

Hey ScampTramp,great weather here in Iowa! Do you ever go to the swapmeet in CR?. I posted what I found after I pulled the cam. Tell me what you think. IBSTROKEN.

Ok guys, I got the cam out and I think I've been had! The gear drive has 3 marks on it and 1 on the cam. The one on the cam was lined up with the mark right of center.

Hey ScampTramp! Yes I drove it , he didn't let me heat the tires up!lol.But it ran fine around town. I did get some paper work,but the builder was killed 8mons. Ago.It is my firs project car so I'm learning the hard way,but with all you guys help it will be a lot easier!

Like I said,iam really going to dig into the motor SAT.,but I did a quick PSI check after work on #1and#2cyl...#1was 180,#2 was 178.6..#1 plug was clean, #2 was slightly oily.

I don't know if the cam is dialed in or not,but iam going to dig into it this Sat. Could the geardrive timing be off?

Holy crap!, you guys are awsome! You guys will forget more than I will ever know.DareDevil,those #s blow me away! I just got schooled!! Thanks again,I promise I will everything. Iam here to learn. I will give my cell# if more info is needed. I can call you back if needed so its on my dime.

Thanks for all the feedback! Iam learning so all tips given will be used.Iam pos. The converter is 1500. I found the cam specs. 475/475-308/308. Like I said , I bought it prebuilt and as a learner car.I have only had it 2mons.I only made 3 passes at the track and yes, I can melt the tires in the...
