When the dots on the gears are aligned does that mean #1 is tdc firing or can it be 180 off on the exhaust cycle.
Whats the going rate for a 52 flathead that Turns over plus a ford-o-matic. Came out of a 52 sedan and iam thinking about selling the pair.

Thanks guys. Its out. A little bugger because of the side set screw. Its junked up. Are these available? Cant find the model number of my machine.
I dont see any place a check valve can be.
When you say discharge tube do you mean the side of the tank where the air hose connects?
I saw that post about the check valve but i thought it was part of the regulator. Where is the check valve?
Well I replaced the regulator with the same brand part my craftsman compressor and while it worked for a while like a week, its back to leaking...
Are we allowed to talk about HEI on the HAMB?
Its set, #1 TDC, and it was math 18436572 720/8=90 1843 first 360 6572 second 360 So i watched 1 and 6, they are opposing Done! Now as far as that...

Are you guys pulling my leg on the firing order. My tuneup books say 18436572
Wish I could use the sprocket dots but the timing cover is on. Is the above chart for adjustments based on 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3.
Twenty8 is the man. I screwed up. Iam an old mopar guy 18436572 but yes the l82 is different. So do the cams interchange. What if someone put a...
Thats what i meant when i said i passed it. On the tdc cycle when the intake opened up, the next 360 around is combustion and thats where my...
I am getting different results then above. I believe I am TDC because when I start passing it (clockwise) the #1 intake starts to open meaning the...
When #1 cylinder is TDC on compression stroke, which of the other valves are depressed. it takes 720 degrees for all eight to fire so its tricky...
Is there such a device that you place in your radiator hose or the inlet that would filter out junk before it gets into your new radiator. Not so...
so once I get the new regulator how to I get the hose loose from the shark bite?
Ok, its not the shark fitting, its leaking up in the pressure regulator. I fiddled a bit with the adjustment and it still leaking. The part is...
I have never heard of those types of fittings, how do they work?
I have a 60 gallon craftsman twin that is leaking out of the small pipe that is under the pressure control and goes up to the head. Line is cool....
Need to make sure its the right stuff to withstand heat from the hot water line and cold from the a/c.
