Is the choke all the way off? Id let that thing idle for about 15 minutes and then tap the gas to make sure the choke pulls off the high idle ramp. It should set choke to wide open and settle into a 600ish idle. IF the choke never opens, hitting the gas will cause is to sputter and die. I had a...

I took a 90 bend off the rad and ran a 12" piece of PVC to a flex hose up around the timing cover. worked great but if that 72281 Magnum hose works, let us know! Im running an early Mustang Aluminum radiator.

68 and newer is the break for small and large snout cranks/convertors. Get both >67 and youll be set. If you have a big newer convertor and a small crank, your SOL. other way around is doable with a Tflite Paddy (sp?) 1/8 wall bushing.

in gear and it dies sounds lean. Choked richens the mix (higher vacuum from the choke restrictions) and off idle its back to lean. Unscrew the mixture screw 1/2 turn and see if there is any difference. If not turn it back, its free. Another Gotcha is the fuel filter: if its horizontal, it can...

awesome PDFs for the 'ol Weber. Ill assume the (new) 18mm clearance is accurate for new style gasket and new floats per Redline as they probably sell the most WEBER cast carbs here in USA. I can get that measurement at the tip of the float. When they show it parallel to the top is were I lose it...

My float is just like this.

you will probably find that 18 mm between top of float and gasket-ed lid is the same as 35mm from bottom of float to the gasketed lid.... unless they changed the design of the float. This cant be obtained as the float is 27mm thick and 27 + 18mm clearance would be 45mm to gasket, not 35 (or...

A few pics to show a "35mm float bottom to top" is impossible. Note that these are all shot upside down so the bottom of float is obviously the top of the pic. The pivot pin is about 20mm off the top. If I were to hammer the metal bracket flat it could possibly level out as the diagram shows...

Got one and of course you take it apart before you install it right? Redline (only importer of Weber carbs in USA) says set the float to: 18mm from top of float off the gasket with the needles spring ball barely touching. Then Pegasus racing say "...Weber recommends setting the height of a...

I got a GENUINE WEBER 32/36 DGAV ('Weber' Cast in multiple locations, Made in SPAIN: supposedly better metallurgy for longer throttle shaft service life than clones with stickers) like 63spf's post, will be putting it in the FS section as I can't use it. I needed a DFAV (mirror image) that pulls...

Got the motor fired up last night, ran like a top! Let it heat soak, and adjusted the valves hot. Smoked for about 10 minutes while I revved it up and down a few times but then tapered off to no visible smoke, I guess the new rings set? Whatever, all 4 fireing now, I got great vacuum, barely any...

$25 later at my new head shop and were good to go! Cut the seat (3 angle again) on a Serdi, checked the other 7 seats and told me my ex valves were past their cut limit (1mm @ side minimum) so he recommended new ex valves but said these will work fine for another 100K. I hope this closes this...

heck no, they are out of business! New owner........:rolleyes: and I work at a new facility that has closer shops. Maybe the 8mm mandrel they used on the Sioux was bent?

This project is blooming in a bad way. so I get the exhaust valves mounted up (no issues there) and I'm poking around with the spring compressor after I pick the 4 tightest exhaust guides and drive them in. I get 3 springs installed and notice the #4 valve has a different tone when I pop the...

That 4 pin module is most likely a Bosch "021" ignitor. Cheap and common. This module is in my "ready to run" ECU-less LA distributor. magnetic pickup... Supercedes Bosch PNs 9-222-067-016 (9222067016) 9-222-067-017 (9222067017) 9-222-067-021 (9222067021) 9-222-067-024 (9222067024) Pinout...

Had the same choke stove area crack in an aluminum 'E-beam' 2bbl intake. Tried in earnest to save that piece but ended up selling it cracked and cheap to a guy who TIG'd it and ran it. That intake weighed about 2 lbs! Wonder if a block off plate would have worked in warm So. Cal?

you could attempt to repair the brass radiator with solder: drain and invert the rad. use a stainless wire brush and clean the joints, apply flux and heat slowly until the flux starts to boil and smoke, then add silver solder and allow it to flow into the leaking joint. Pull the flame away and...

IIRC there was an "extended rotor " design for the later slants that required a matching cap. Am I mistaking? Measure your new rotor to your old one and even the ID of the contacts from both caps, you may find a variance.

There is a bit of sarcasm from certain folks here, you will learn the players quickly. How you will deal with them is up to you. Its like a car show, if you run into a person that rubs you the wrong way, just walk away or put on ignore. Welcome aboard, lots of knowledge and personalities here.

The snout of this cam is the bearing journal that extends past the bearing and goes into the recess of the sprocket. The dowel of the cam fits into the sprocket and the bolt keeps it together with a special washer. The snout is therefore the same size as the bearing journal and is not a separate...

There is a small amount of wiggle at valve, just enough to feel a rocking at .500 lift.

OK, I got the valves to slide in after carefully measuring the valve stems and using the smallest in the tightest guide and so on. I had 4 .315 (8mm) valves, and they measured .3161,2,3 and 4 using a .0001 micrometer and its 'clutch' end. (If these are accurate or not, they are all measured the...

All good input. I'll ream em to the minimum and send it. I got an adjustable to save buying 2 sizes. Now I gotta find my micrometer!

Head heating up along with the guides. Would not both expand and open up? Along with the stem... wonder if the different materials (cast iron/aluminum, bronze and steel) all expand at different quotients. All I know for certain is these things need to be opened a tad.

Stock stamped 66 ish with plastic pc valve 4.29 lbs. Make it yours, PM me

I'm in the market for a rear mounted AC pulley if your looking to get rid of it. The balancer is the single belt pulley.

My *** they are finish honed! Maybe the cast iron ones don't hourglass when pounded in but the bronze ones sure did. Waiting on an adjustable reamer now in the mail.

Kinda reads the opposite ( min .316 exhaust, .3162 intake) in the FSM. Is this from experience? I've NEVER done guides so this is all new to me. I was stoked when the valves slid in when I got them pressed in then they all bound about in the middle of the guide. I was able to coax 2 of them in...

The other callout is to place a dial indicator on tip of valve and see if the deflection is <.20mm rocking inside guide. Seals are poly lock so you. Ant check this unless you pull the seals off and it's a PITA as these are pressed on like Ford 302s, bottle caps and take a friggin slide hammer...
