Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

I've been adjusting it while running with a set of feelers for a while now. I was asking if the valves would be in a position where I could safely start it, then adjust or if I had to bump the starter over and adjust them while the engine was off first, but I did not spin the crank while the head was off so "technically" they're still in the same spot - kind of.

But I did get the engine to fire after I finally figured out that I had a rag in the carb hat assembly. That took a few minutes to figure out why it kept shutting down...

Also these "turbo" clamps for the intake tubing suck. I keep having to replace them after I try to loosen them. Most of the nuts keep stripping on the studs so you can't retighten it down.

But it sounds fine, and this morning I'm going to adjust the valves now that I found my wrench set, put the valve cover on, get the intake tubing reassembled, and drive it two miles to work and see how it goes.

If everything is good to go, then this coming weekend I want to do my H.E.I. conversion.
