Introducing Project "Scabra Tulitque"
I replaced two bent pushrods, installed a set of used 273 rocker arms and shafts, hand-me-down Accel 8mm plug wires, and Autolite 66 plugs. Adjusted the valves .016"/.025" cold, primed the carb, and with the aid of jumper cables on the dead battery, the motor came to life after about 10 seconds of cranking after sitting for 3 years.
I cannot determine why after sitting for years without the rocker shafts installed that I found two pushrods from intake #5 and #6 bent when I put things back together (one barely bent, one severely bent). Must of been Mighty Mouse working out?
