Jim and I were friends since the 70's. We talked when we could and after he moved to Poland this was more difficult but he would come to Long...
You speak the truth

Volumetric efficiency has much more to do with cam timing, port/valve sizes than rod length. The whole long rod discussion is more to do with...
Somebody mentioned the distributor drive gear (plastic) breaking. Also, the headgaskets on two of mine were made of steel and as they corrode,...
