God rest your,soul,Pat. You will be missed.
Damn,this is sad news. I don't get on here an awful lot anymore but Mike and his dodge roadster was one of the inspirations to start building my...
I've heard folks say that all my life. I haven't had anything with points in 15 years,and everything I own runs Accel solid copper core wires....
I know i dont get on the hamb much anymore,but I thought 1963 was the newest shit we could post here. I better go start a thread for my '76 Torino.
Yeah.All that's missing is the LS motor.
Not to argue,but I doubt that at 2600 rpm your vacuum advance is doing much,is it? Especially if it's hooked to manifold vacuum? So,it probably...
Speaking of which,what is under the hood?
I don't get the guys that are saying not to build the car because it's a four door. The guys in N.Y... In case some of you don't know,we don't...
I had a 85 c-10 with a 305,total slug. Took all the emmisions crap off,put a non-feedback q-jet and HEI and dual exhaust on it and it felt like a...

Gray primer and rust isn't patina,I say paint it. Nice car,though.:)
I'd get rid of the blocks. They give the rear end extra leverage to flex the springs and create wheel hop.
I'm pretty sure the 290 horse engine comes with a flat tappet cam and press in rocker studs.
Hey,I have one of those,not really looking to get rid of it,though.:o
I think you have a plug (or a couple) starting to foul out,that once warmed up,starts firing. This happens to me when I'm building a car because...
You didn't have water in it without antifreeze,did you? If so,it could have froze and cracked the block and/or heads.:eek:
I'm very sorry for your loss and as already said,you're not being selfish. I'd like to think we're among friends here,and that it's good to get...
Maybe you hooked the vacuum advance to the wrong port when you put the Holly on. It may have been hooked to full vacuum before,and ported vacuum...
