Straying from the topic slightly, what would you say is preferable.....A 1" carb spacer with a drop air cleaner base, or no spacer with a non drop...
Simple, clever, accurate. A win-win. lol, I sound like a movie review.
Well, the budget 302 hit a snag. I didnt inspect it well enough from the start. It was a running motor with compression within 10% high to low, so...
Honestly, The engine came out of my car and is sitting on the stand.....I got some rebuilt heads that have new seats and guides for 30 bucks and...
That is a good point, and I did not consider it. The ridge is almost non existent. It can barely be felt with a finger pad, but I cannot feel it...
I have heard it said that a good flowing head gets the cylinder filled without the extra duration....and a poor flowing head takes longer and...
Lol...all the engines that come over my house to play are weird. Part# D1OE-6015-AA with a 1B18 cast very nearby. 1B22A stamped near timing...
lol....I have the lame book by George Reid. all the main bearing 1/2 s in the block were good. I layed the crank in the block and put dial...
I cannot detect any runnout on those two crank journals. If I put new bearings in, and torqued it with plastigauge in the spots of wear, and in...
I measured all the journals on the crank in 2 spots 90* apart, and got 2.122 on the rod journals and 2.249 on the mains, measured the whole crank...
Main bearings : some wear, but no burns? Is this typical?[ATTACH]
all rods and pistons removed. #4 rod bearing looks like like it was ready to fail. It was badly worn, the cap was discolored with a blackish...
I have to admit that when I was a kid, I thought 67 & 68 mustangs were not the pretty ones. It is interesting to me that they have grown on me to...
The original cause for the stall/no start may still be lurking. If your plug wires are old, you might replace them, or at least make sure they...
Are they 1.7 or 1.6? do you have stock heads? And if you dont mind my asking, do you recall what brand they were?
I did not realize there was such a thing as roller tip, rail rockers. A 1.7 ratio, at least on the intakes, would speed up the opening of the...
OK, so we all know by now that I try do do as much as I can with the few dollars I get to spend. My latest project is the 302 that was pulled to...
The 302 that was the subject of this thread was replaced with a used roller 302. The 302 discussed in this thread was torn down, and the following...
Your current scheme looks like a performance motor with a restrictor plate. There are cheaper ways to build a street motor.....but if you are...
Longshot, but if you have the stock steel fuel line up to the carb, could it be so cruddy inside that it cruds your float needle every time you...
