    273 Rocker Arm Oiling

    I get it, but repetitive curiosity is bullheaded. Especially when you have multiple people telling you the same thing and you keep asking/arguing. We're not gonna steer you wrong.

    273 Rocker Arm Oiling

    My curiosity isn’t being bullheaded. It’s how I learn. Without curiosity there is no knowledge…..

    Did the 1979 Lil Red Express come with an air pump?

    i agree, the published numbers are all over the place. different sources, and almost no two are the same. there's no definitive proof one way or the other. ****, there's hardly proof on what the actual specs are of the 68 4spd cam or a bunch of the MP cams from the 70's & 80's. i'm hoping...

    crank no start

    Well, at least by post #10 we get to know what carburetor you have. God forbid you bless us with any more info.

    Did the 1979 Lil Red Express come with an air pump?

    Post #40 also listed cam specs. And look at the torque and hp peak RPM’s for the ‘79 E58 and ‘78 EH1 I listed in post #21. They are just too way off to make sense with the 340 auto cam. ‘75 and ‘76 listed an E58 engine with a high performance cam, that had similar peaks the the ‘74 E58. But...

    Rear Drums Only Free in Reverse Direction?

    Keep in mind too that the rear drum brakes are designed only to brake going forward. This is why there's a front (short) shoe and a long (rear) shoe. So it's perfectly normal if you have the shoes adjusted up that the wheels will be more difficult to turn going forward. More difficult is normal...

    Notice China is glaringly absent from their list of factories.

    And go....

    He's wrong about that. Melling makes lifters and most other engine parts here. This is from their web site. All of the lifters I just bought for a friend's 283 Chevy have "MADE IN USA" on the boxes, as well as the set I got for my Ford 400 a while back. "Melling serves the global...

    1965 Offenhauser 273!

    I spoked last night with Offenhauser who will give it a try to get more input. Found a story in a motor magazine about a Dart Charger 273 built by the owner for drag racing. That decal on the front fender, could that Racer brown camshaft been added by Offenhauser.......? We'll see next week.

    And go....

    I didn't read 36 posts. Mike Jones, aka Cam King & renowned cam grinder said a while back that the FT lifters are made off shore, only one company making them in the US. This week on Speed talk he said he has Chebby lifters.....for $320. So if you are getting lifters for much less.....they are...

    crank no start

    So, no ign box, just a bal res? That would be correct for 1967....which is: ign coil, points & condenser. I would start by replacing the points & cond.

    Did the 1979 Lil Red Express come with an air pump?

    post #40 lists a 650cfm TQ which never existed. but let's say for the sake of confusion that it was meant as Q-jet. there again, 404 no such carb found. it also lists the E58 as 8:1 which, while true, isn't the whole story. some were 8.4:1 depending on year and motor code. i'll buy that an...

    Power bench seat

    Anyone have ideas on what modern car I could take a power seat track and make an A body powered bench seat. I know such thing is possible because when I was younger I saw a 71 dart that someone had a power bench seat but I didn't think to ask what parts they used. Seeing that car like that...

    Old post. I know. But I have three sets of 3418645 connecting rods, two sets are pressed fit and one is floating? Maybe the floating rods were originally press fit and changed to floating rods at some point??

    Did the 1979 Lil Red Express come with an air pump?

    There is no way that is the cam in the LRE though. 340 auto cam was dead probably after '76 and the '77 and later E58 and all EH1 motors probably had the same cam as the 2 bbl 360. Maybe it was a different cam, but no way was it the 340 auto cam. See post 40 in this thread.
