My lift measurements already have the 1.5 factored in. Its a very mild cam.
Pulled this cam from an older built engine. Came out of a 350 block with 305 heads. Id like to figure out exactly what I have. I found the average...
Use the old camshaft and make a reamer out of it. Cut diagonal grooves in it and ream the bearings yourself. I did it in my 364. I used a shop...
364 in a fiberglass 32.
Bas_sob, post is a decade old. How did it turn out?
I have a dynaflow out of a 63 if your looking for one.
Flatheads don't die, so don't hold your breath. But if you decide to install a nailhead, first contact the Martins in Grass Valley, CA. They...
Got it all figured out. Very simple. Thanks for the assist!!
So the light inside would turn on when the key is rolled and powers the hot side of the tach?
I will.get better pics once it arrives. As of now, this is all I have.
That equals 4, not 3. That's why I was asking.
Just picked up a spark-o-matic tach off ebay. Trying to figure the wiring before it arrives. Most all tachs ive delt with in the past had four...
We'll give it a go. Updates to follow.
It ran before the heads were removed for paint. Distributor was also removed.
Point are gapped correctly and valves are moving freely and not sticking.
Thats the earlier style "crab" cap. We are working on a 53 engine.
We are just trying to make sure the dist isnt 180 off. When it was first installed it popped back through the carb and exhaust. We pulled the...
Yes, Sir. Understood.
Firing order is correct. She is sparking at the plugs.
Your theory could still land you 180 off. Should TDC indicator be lined up right after number 1 exhaust closes or right before it opens? Remember,...
53 flathead. Trying to figure out a timing issue. When purchased the engine was partially tore down (heads removed, carb off, and generator...
I have a dynaflow and yoke out of a 63 Buick. It's for an open driveline. Located in NC if your interested. You can have it. [email protected]
I read that thread when I googled the numbers.
OOH-RAH!
Just to figure out what they were "attempting" to build. I can tell the engine has minimal run time.
Lifters were already removed.
Pulled this cam from a 355 SBC that I got really cheap. Had a double roller timing chain and new cam bearings, however the cam is worn nearly...
The only 2 filters that you should ever run are WIX or Napa Gold. Fram filters are restrictive and are built with zero quality control.
I wouldn't spend the money if its not necessary. Run what you have for now. The 401 and 425 all have the same size exhaust valves (1.5''). My...
I have a nice set of factory 1964/1965 Pontiac tripower, 3x2 carbs. They are Rochester 2jet carbs. The primary is a small base and the factory...
