I don’t think that I would block the oil to the drivers side lifter galley and install the crossover on a hydraulic lifter cam.

My dad's stock 904 went 12s, my brother's stock 904 went 12.60, and both could have gone 11s. So put a stock 904 behind a stock engine and not worry about it

They will handle plenty of horsepower, if built correctly. I have been 9.90 et with a 3200 lb AMX, and my buddy has been 9.60 with his 68 Dart. I put over 300 runs on the AMX with zero issues.

1/8" pipe is the thread in the transmission. I don't have a link, but pictures of the factory inverted flare fitting

5/16” is the line size, 1/8” is the pipe fitting size that goes in the transmission.

I have a bunch of factory push rods, I can check if you want me to. I have used 5/16 and 3/8 diameter already. I have removed some out of 318 engines, that I thought were pretty skinny, but I haven’t measured them

One way will be advanced, one way will be retarded. I would be best to check the centerline of the cam with a degree wheel. But I can tell you that all the cams that I checked, I have not retarded the cam to get the recommended or required position.

They had the race at Maple Grove, not as many faster cars than the New Year’s Eve race. The rain Friday and Saturday morning probably kept some from making the trip. They had a daily driver bracket class, couldn’t dial quicker than 10.00 in the 1/8 mi,no trailer towing and no burnout . Gave 2...

My thoughts are that different timing chain manufacturers have different specifications for their timing chain sets. I do not mix up different gears and chains, learned that as a kid messing with dirt bikes. Always change the drive chain and gears as a set

I would like one of those timing covers! I run an engine plate that is cut out for a factory water pump, and use the Meizere back plate and electric water pump. My friend always borrows my backing plate for the dyno

I usually put the cam gear at 6 o’clock, and crank gear at 12 o’clock, because it is easier to see if you are a tooth off. Which I think is tdc #6 firing. If you turn the crank 1 turn, the cam gear mark will be at 12 o’clock and #1 firing. This is after degreeing the cam. I degree every one...

The AMX I drive I swap the Hoosier radial slicks left to right and right to left about every 20 to 25 runs. The sidewalls usually go before the wear holes are worn out, and if I don’t swap, I had them go bad in 45 runs

Some of the old purple shaft cams had no identification marks or numbers. I have had a few, the first cam I bought was a used .484 purple stripe cam for $10, because the guy couldn’t get it to idle in his 340. But no identification on it.

I am installing new poly bushings and shafts in a 71 Demon. I noticed that the bushings are not flush with the cup like the original. I don’t think that it will be an issue with the manual steering street car, but I thought that it would lose positive caster when reassembled. When it is back...
