SS Springs on 75 Duster
took off valve cover and found no. 4 intake rocker and pushrod were not being nice with each other...the pushrod came off the rocker but was still pushing on the rocker.....took the shaft off and check things out...outside of the pushrod marks on the rocker...everything looked ok....put it back together and ran the valves and all were good....
replaced gaskets on carb bowl and metering block...reassembled and the rear needle and seat was stuck...brand new ....gas shooting out of vent ...removed and played with it...and it seems to be ok now....adjusted floats again...checked jets....engine fired right up....let it fast idle for a few more minutes then idled it down to 1200 rpm....sounds good..still got a fuel leak at front inlet...drip drip....will change out parts next time...
This car is going into the trailer to get out of my way for a while...hope to have it back in the garage later this summer to install a basic roll bar ...as we are slowly making a little more steam as we move forward.....
