rumblefish's Duster project
Near the finish, time to test install the parts. Just a placement with the idea of looking for an issue to deal with.
Pic #1
Put on the heads with the gasket under it. Added pushrods. Were looking for easy head fitment. Also dropped in the distributor.
Pic#2 & 3
Then the same with the intake. Place gaskets between the intake and head. Bolts should go in easy. But a few of the Edel. bolts that came along somewhere into my pocket are to short. I have a nice can of bolts to look around in. LOL
Valve cover gasket is the race steel incased in rubber, re-useable ones. There isn't a clearance issue with these and the stock valve cover. (And the intake which can be a problem.)
Pic#4
Then the carb and linkage for a look. Then add the aircleaner up top and look for linkage interfearance, binding and fuel line interfearance. (sp?)
Don't forget the rockers. Check to see if the pushrods rub the walls of the holes. If so, then the rockers are mixed up.
Pic#5 A look from behind. Not finished. No I just need some time to torque everything down.
All tightening specs can be found in a Chiltons, Haynes or motors book. There on-line as well.
On to try and make heads or tail of the brackets.
Next, rear end and brake stuff.
