I put a 383 in my 72 duster it had a slant six in it,didnt have to do any modifications to harness.

New FT lifters are a 'crap shoot' as my American friends say. If you are not into crap shooting, get some 30 yr old lifters re-faced. The Crower Cam saver lifters with a groove down the side. I have been doing the same for 30 yrs with a Dremel. No need to pay extra for it, you can do it with...

Those can be easily welded back together if you have all the pieces, or not. I use Crown Alloys Company, Royal 44-30 wire in a MIG all the time to repair cast iron parts. The best wire on the market for cast iron repairs...

...adjust the carb last. This is how you do it. Disconnect & plug the VA. Engine idling, in gear if auto, starting with the dist giving about 10-12* at idle. Turn the dist slowly to advance timing until you have the highest idle speed. Now check the timing. My guess is it will be in the 20-35*...

...+ or - 30. Thank you for taking the time to write all that info. When you mentioned the vacuum advance can only has a limited amount of advance say *14 a light went on in my head and it made sense. I’m learning a lot. Thanks for your patience. It sounds like some guys run off the manifold...

jumping #1 and 2 together is key on running the MSD off the switch. You could also run the “on” thin red from the MSD to a switch under the dash for a “kill” switch theft deterrent ran from a power source.

No in fact you must jumper IGN1 (run) and IGN2 (bypass) together in order to get ignition power to start the thing, because now you have an ignition system not using a ballast. What was the closest point to the key switch you checked? If you don't have it at the bulkhead, and don't...

Welcome back Rob. U sure have been missed. I hope it’s all clear sailing from here on in. Kim

In theory yes but in practice, nope. They are un reliable, not well engineered, and not designed to operate with any positive pressure on that side of the valve. I’ve tried. And I always end up getting rid of them. And I’m a pcv valve fan, every NA engine should have one, but I have yet to find...

Happy you're back and feeling better, Rob. It just wasn't the same around here without you.

:lol: :lol:

Yeah, no I'm option 2

Can you PM me some good pics of the glove box woodgrain? Thank you!

I broke a few right away. My push rods were measured and custom made. Geometry was right. So I conversation with Crane. Guy asks were they Black or Gray? Oh damm we normally make them our selves, and ours are gray. We outsourced and those were all bad. Told me don't use any more black of the...

Just pulled from my slant. The brackets were bead blasted and painted. The paint looks good but shows signs of install/removal. Alternator is not included, coil is not included.You get everything in the bag. Including the original lower alternator bolt, and the nicer one I used. I made the...

Oh, and Tim says no more hugs, it's ruining his reputation :lol:

I'll be bringing sunscreen lol

Are you sure you linked the correct story? Most all that was about the doors and hinges. I did find a good video on YouTube though. I'll probably tackle the non-driver door handle first.

It was good to see you and everyone else as well Bill. I thought I would have more time to hang out but it seems if I'm not wrenching I'm not at the track lol. Awesome time and really looking forward to Woodburn!

You were a bit red my friend lol, and that is saying something:lol:

I’ll test it for you. Will start a conversation.

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what pcv and breather cap they used. But since the cars arrived at Offenhauser with a 273 hp engine, it already had those items so that make sence. Re the red thermostat housing they just shifted it over to the aluminium intake manifold. So my guess is that...

Will do

If the PCV valve is stuck closed or not working somehow, then it'a not pulling a vacuum on the crankcase and that can cause your problem. I would certainly check the little things before I went rippin that engine out.

Happy Birthday. I hope it's a goodun.

Welcome back Rob!

No hurry

Welcome back!!
