Did ya do a "break in" for the new cam and lifters? If not, do a search on it.
Just a few notes. Traction Lock are fine if ya set correct preload on the clutches. A new stronger clutch side "hat" should be used in my opinion...
Bump to the top. Most awesome thread anywhere! I only have one H&M part (just a .610 lift solid cam for a 385 engine) left and no stories so I...
Cool. Didn't know that about Smokey being with H&M! P.S. Thanks Jack! C5HM, John I presume? Thanks also!
Just checking out the bumper in the pic on Jack's last post. Nice and tight to the fender. So, my question is... when did these modifications...

Back at this post, he just needs a value for the crank. Matt Franklin got this far. So who else can help with a value?
I don't collect them. But I use my (O/T) GoodYear Eagle VR50 ashtray everyday.
If ya get her bought, document his stories and your adventure with this purchase. Makes real good reading for us who have never had the...
No machining needed for these rockers. Yup. There are, usually, +/- .030 and .060 from the stock sizes. Ford Racing site used to have directions...
I am guessing you have a 400? Yeah, guide plates are not needed with the pedestal mounted rockers unless they are machined flat.
Wrong way for an FE. It should look like it's backwards compared to the other core plugs. And, it's a special one with a different sealing edge on...
That's cool too. I ran propane on a little truck awhile back. Gasoline was cheap then so I, eventually took it off. Oil changes lasted longer,...
Damn nice looking engine! You have fuel injection?
A few of us are looking at the whole picture. I suggested a DP because of the cam he is using. You can tune any carb to work. A StreetAvenger carb...
Seems as though others should check the AED link too.
Well things are getting clearer on what you expect from it. I suppose you are now not worrying about this statement, "I went with the 670 to keep...
Check this out, http://www.aedperformance.com/Tuning%20Tips.htm. Given your circumstances, tuning it will get it a lot better. But ya gotta...
I hear ya George. ClayMart's last post with a quote puts me in the same boat with ya. And to add, more gear or converter for that cam. Or smaller...
Yep, double pumper for sure. But ya might not have enough converter to go very big. Personally, I would use a 650dp on it. Does your converter...
Here is the answer as to why ya got no lowend. Cam and compression don't match.
Well, gotta jump in here. Cam with 240-250 at .o50 in a 350c.i. engine. Your vac seems close to me. Problem is a street avenger isn't designed to...
Couple tips for ya. Check your bolt sizes, new manifold may need some different ones. Check the "china wall" for an alignment pin, ya might have...
What? Sounds like someone talking about 429-460 stuff. 390 has a shaft rocker system.
So true! '64 Gal, 390, 4 speed. Bent both springs pretty bad! Make sure they are long enough!
A '58 is cool enough, but these custom parts from the day......way cool. I am waiting!
Hey pork'n'beaner! Where exactly is Pig Snarf? Hell, I may have been there. X2, if ya don't understand the DuraSpark/HEI system, go with points....
What fuel pressure do you have?
Tape the top off and blast each part with a different media. And I agree, that thing is cool!
Super rare photo. I usually have a carb, cam or something in my hands.
