A poorly seated intake valve can screw up the cylinders fed by the same runner as well. A compression test is a good start, but, cylinder leakage...
Tool cabinets should protect your tools from theft, be organized to find the tools quick and know when something is missing before the job leaves....
It likely needs calibrated. how did you set it up. PM me late today and I will try to help.
How is this issue going?
The way I see if the tire has an issue is to jack the car up so it won't waddle while spinning the wheels, put a block of wood close to the tread...
The schematic in my last post is how I use the + side for NHRA, keeps the alternator from powering the engine. Make sure you use a switch heavy...

No front brakes =an altered. Gas classes always had to have front brakes to my knowledge.
60 Ford. Too slow again.
Mount the panhard as level as possible, makes a big difference.
We are on US 40 East of Terre Haute if you need a shop. Better traveling than I 70 and 4 lane as well.
Don't believe a starter would bend a crank or flex plate, however, you would be surprised what would during storage. We usually see it on the...
Not being there to see the damage. I wonder if the starting motors aren't quality units. We had to change re-builder/supplier to cure an issue...
Engines are rarely in the center. Usually off enough to have the drive shaft straight.
I like One Shot. Glass is good to practice on, scrape it off and paint it again.
Getting spark knock-retard the timing until it is gone (rule of thumb). This is what your late model car does automatically with a computer tied...
To a point. Limited by mechanical limits of the cylinder and valve timing. About the first third of the stroke is where you want to extract the...
ID plate should be on the right cowl side under the hood held on by 2 rivets.
Anyone have info about when each manufacturer went to hardened seats? Ford advertised them in the 1930s.
Welcome. There were several cars. I think one of the earlier ones did have Ford bezels. It also had grille bars like you would get from Honest...
Do you have wheel adapters? We have found these are often not true causing side to side wobble. A tire hanging in the open may look true, put...
I've had to up jet sizes on a few carbs lately to compensate for high alcohol content (noticeable lean surge at cruise). The pumps all say max...
Looks like a truck dif that would have enough power to distort the ring gear (adjustable stop on side)
Metal based never seize should be used with stainless especially if it will be removed and re-installed often. I use never seize on all ground...
Most of the shows in our area have trouble getting participants to stay past judging. If the show is 10:00 to 6:00 and the judging is at 2:00...
I've heard stories of broken arms from hand cranking an over advanced engine. We had a v-12 in the shop some time ago the timing procedure was to...
I rebuilt one about 4 years ago on a T bird, had trouble getting the red inlet gasket to stay sealed. Replaced it with a nylon ring and it has...
Had to use a rubber mallet every time I drove over 90 to get them seated back into the rim, but, they fit well otherwise.
Make sure the secondaries are fully closed. I recommend using flammable brake clean with the straw to trickle at the gaskets to find a vacuum...
Rule of thumb for my experience. High torque 2 barrels with 9:1 or higher compression gain 30-40 hp. Low torque 2 barrels with less compression...
