Did you get any info on the yellow one?

Jim, I sure hope you're not going to use the tail gate chains on it. They will ding up your beautiful paint job.

It doesn't sound like the oil was really low, like not even reading on the dip stick, so maybe that did not cause a problem. The lifter not pumping up sounds like the problem, but I'm no expert on hydraulic lifters. Aren't the lifters new? Could it be defective? On the intake water leak, what...

In post #774, it looks like the rocker arms are touching each other. I'd think that they shouldn't touch. Could that be a potential problem?

Jim, I sure hope you've been rewarding yourself after so many days of accomplishments. I'd say you have earned many steak dinners and chocolate desserts. Enjoy your successes along the way. It's looking good.

You might also want to consider removing the pan on the bottom of the intake manifold, if there is one. I figured it's not needed (with the crossover blocked) and would allow some heating to the intake manifold from the crankcase. That's what I've done on my '65 273 and it appears to work well...

Well let's see more of this, please.

If the heads are off, would it be best to put the weld on the inside of the head, which would decrease the air volume slightly? Or might the heat soften the infused hardening of the head (e.g. w/ a ...302 head)?

It'll be a show truck for sure. What are you going to do for a tailgate? Coated cables would look better than those chains, I think.

Did you have to increase the size of the fuel line so it would pass more fuel to the 360?

He may have said that he has a head with 4 valves that has a pis-poor repair.

Are you going to replace the tailgate chains with folding braces like Troy did on his A100 at Full Scale?

What show and where please.

On the cpwclub web site, it looks like the swap and show will be on Saturday, 10/21/23, but their Schedule of Events still has last year's date. They need to update their info. Doesn't look like anything is scheduled for Sunday this year. I sent them an email.

Had my '65 Dodge A100 since 1968. It's been my main project and still gets driven monthly. On the original 273 and automatic, I put '68 heads, a Dodge 4 barrel intake, a 500 cfm Edelbrock 1403 carb, & dual exhaust. It's paneled, carpeted and painted as shown on my image. 318WR, have you made...

Clear over what?

Sounds good. What engine & trans in this car?

Very nice. By chance, is there a restoration thread on this car here on FABO?

How does the gas tank vent with the fill line valve closed?

Will you be posting your activities at Carlisle here or in another thread?

Tell us more about the Black Diamond block. Is it pneumatic?

If this engine has solid lifters and adjustable rockers, I'd check all the valve clearance settings first. Of course if one is gapped too wide, it will be noisy. Keep an eye on the adjusting screws and make sure that they have the proper drag and are not loose fitting. (From post 666, I see that...

Yeah, it's in in a little cup and it usually attracts dirt because of the presents of oil. It's a spot that usually gets ignored because we don't usually take out the instrument cluster. You don't need to remove the cable.

On my '65 Dodge, I found a tiny hole in the housing at the top of the cable. Clean that area good and you will find it. The tiny hole is to add a drop of oil. That stopped all the noise from the top of the cable and stopped the needle from jumping around too.

Yes, the one I ordered works.

Yes, we get a lot or rewards from our sense of accomplishment. Keep up the good work.

I think I have found one on eBay. I ordered it and will see if it works. Richard

Neutral safety switch for A727, single wire. For a '65 Dodge A100, 273 V8, automatic transmission. If you know where I can buy a new one that would be preferable.

Not usually. You still choose the pressure limit of the cap you select.

Aren't coolant overflow tanks required? The cool coolant level can be set correctly in them so that hot fluid is captured and then siphoned back into the radiator when it cools.
