'Pop's Engine' another 440 on the dyno.

Dad built a 440 for his truck, started it a year or so before he died. That was, what man, 13 years ago? He finished it and stood looking at the truck through the living room window and said, "Well, I got it the way I want it and I'll never get to enjoy it." 'Coupla weeks later he was gone.

So I inherited the truck and drove it briefly........detonation city. I couldn't get it to stop! Parked it. Learned a lot since then.........hopefully.

So now my son decided it was time to do some cylinder head tests we've been talking about. The low compression 440 we tested awhile back is in a '72 Satellite and on it's way to NJ so it's not available. It was time to pull 'Pop's Engine', check the detonation issue and see if we could use it as the dyno mule.
