Doc, do you really have $500k in outstanding student loans? Ouch!! Damn man. I'd be putting the 15-20k into knocking that down, then buy parts later.

If your plan would be to flip it to make money, how much is your time worth? Think of the hundreds of hours it would take to sell the stuff. Just not worth it to me. If you actually want or need the stuff, go for it!

:rofl: Good call. My dumbass didn't even notice the date. Is the bottom of the tang on the shaft bottoming out in the gear slot? Is the o-ring keeping it from going down? Maybe try it without to see if it drops.

Yeah, yours is obviously not right. Easy enough to troubleshoot though. However, I was referring to the original post. Maybe start a new thread to avoid hijacking his.

I must be lucky. I've never had a distributor leak at the o-ring. Do you have an operable PCV system?

What'd you end up going with regarding the machine shop and torque plate?

Too rich for my blood.

My '66 Dart. Tach will go on the dash.

Imagine that as a two-door. Hell yeah!

Hey John, thanks for doing that. That was really nice of you.

Lipstick on a pig

How are you going to try to call him out for slow shipping when he straight up said he'd get it in the mail on the weekend? Shame on you man, and grow the hell up. [SOLD] - Three Factory Chrysler Chrome Gas Caps Threads like this help me expand my ignore list.

It's always interesting hear another's take what they think our hobby is about.

That's a slick idea. Do you also pull the sensor when not in use? I ask because I thought about putting my AFR gauge on a switch so it wasn't on all the time, but both Innovate and Autometer said that wasn't a good idea because the sensor would not last if it wasn't powered when the car was running.

I've used this one for years and love it. It's bright as hell and a charge lasts a LONG time. The magnet is very strong and even has a hook. It's priced higher than when I bought it, but it's easily worth a twomp in my opinion. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DCL81W3/?tag=fabo03-20

43/8 = 5.38?

The last time I called Oregon cam, I was told they can only adjust LSA as much as the core will allow. Which, for the cam I wanted, couldn't be done with the stock roller LA cam I had because the LSA was too wide on the stock cam. He also cautioned against grinding too much because it'd be...

Sounds good! What changes were made after talking to the Holley folks?

He must not really want to sell it.

This thread reminds me of why I don't take any of my junk to car shows. There are always guys that are way too comfortable telling you whats wrong with your car. You'd think they'd have better things to ***** about. I bet they're really fun to be around too. :rolleyes:

I've done it. They turned out fine. As mentioned - give it a ton of timing, like 40* at least. It's not under load, so it'll be just fine.

Rob's a good guy. Give him some time - he'll get back to you.

Pretty sure Dougs makes a drop-in header for a small block in an early A. Probably other options out there too. You could always go with manifolds too. It doesn't take a lot to get these little cars moving.

Damn, I like 'em both! I'd love to have something like that '36 to drop the 340 that's in my 68 Dart in. I've been looking for a while for a roller, and people want stupid money for the real old stuff of that vintage.

Man, ain't that the truth! There was a time when I'd do anything to score good parts on the cheap 'just in case' I ever needed them. Now, I've come to the point where my time is more valuable to me than spending a day under a car in a gravel lot just to score some parts that'll just end up on...

For the folks who missed out - don't worry, all the parts will soon be on craigslist/facebook.

It's too bad that car wasn't saved. Looked like a great project.

I've always thought of those bail clips as a bandaid for a poor original seal/retainer design. Personally, I've never had a problem with a properly crimped retainer. I do like the molded boots though. Those look pretty slick.

That's cool as hell! What a great gesture. Hopefully there's some tread left when he gets them back. :poke:

It's only 6 miles? Take it slow. You'll be fine.
