318 Poly Vibration
Got it on the tach, I definitely need one to see the actual rpms.
Spark plugs I'll look at again, and check my notes, I believe I changed recently.
Adjusting valves, I read a manual on adjusting poly valves, and I'll have to double check, but I recall it states to do it while warm and running. The problem is the 4 dips in the poly heads are perfect for funneling oil onto the headers.
I think the alternative was do it cold, not warm and off, but I will check.
If it needs to be done running I have another set of covers I can cut the tops off.
It's electronic ignition, and I thought grounding at the distributor would easily jump to another post, so I was pulling the wires from the plug and grounding them using a wire with an alligator clip on the other end.
Realistically, I probably won't have time until next week, and freezing cold tools suck! Insulating and heating garage are #1 priority in the warmer months.
I bought this in February with a seized engine and a shot interior, did everything myself, including the upholstery, and was driving it 5 months later.
I'll keep a detailed list of what I've done with results.
This thread will not go unanswered.
Thank you again.
