    Advance springs

    One day, when I'm really patient, that would be cool tool to make our of a cheap needle nose. Probably have to anneal the steel so it was a soft before trying to drill.

    Advance springs

    With the clip out, the slot plate slide up and off the shaft. Wait, the clip in your photo? That's a royal pain. I don't have great tip to make it easier. Needle nose pliers and sometimes a very small screwdriver to slip between the shaft and the clip. If you want to adjust the timing from...

    Distributor Rebuild Question

    If you use the FBO plate with a correct 340 dual point for the purpose of increasing the initial timing, then you can, and should, bend the secondary spring perch out. The secondary spring loop should contact at approximately the same rpm as it does now. How it works is explained in another...

    Advance springs

    Yup. And if I knew before what the actual goal was, then you know what my suggestion would have been. That would have put more tension on the primary spring from the get go.

    Don't ask me. I told you what the heavy spring was for.

    Crank no start

    Factory Service Manual has the diagrams. Trace or copy the circuits of interest. If you mean the horn contact in the steering wheel, IIRC there is a feed from the horn relay. It goes to the steering column connector and then to the horn switch. When the switch is pushed, the wire is grounded...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    I'm not a hot weather person and have to say bonus for cool evenings is that I can continue cooking roasts and making soup. A. Yum B. Leftovers mean no prep dinners for a few days.

    I should have asked in your thread. Are the rims all the same width and offset? I ask because I've found used slots sets can actually be two pairs, with slightly wider and deeper setback for the rear.

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Mine was often interested in treats at the local pet store, but I quickly learned they were only interesting when at the pet store. My take was that it was more about interacting with the people than the treats. Watching her sniff the shelves and baskets and not steal was a clue that the...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Sure is. Used to be cheap to buy the jet selection kit, no more. Looks like a better box than I got (from mopar performance?) Those came in two clear boxes but the plastic doesn't like something in the gasoline.

    Lean idle. Rich cruise.

    it's possible to shorten the slot itselfs Note that secondary side are usually higher up but not always. This guy went on a journey from greenhorn to a carby smarty. :) https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/racingfuelsystems/transfer-slot-lengths-t1285.html#p11866...

    Is the rubber injected into the mold under pressure or more like casting ?

    Should I be feeling more power?

    Lets start at the top and work back. Post some photos of the engine and engine bay. We'll follow the fuel line back from the carburetor to the - well we'll see. We'll see other things too with the engine bay pictures. Like how the throttle to tranmission linkage was set up. Changes to...
