    Powell Machine had some storm damage but let's talk cams anyway.

    I agree with you = at least on engines for performance or racing purposes.

    Tune up questions

    Not a timing issue I do not believe. Ignition failure issue or Vacuum Diaphragm linkage/ way wrong spring in it. Perhaps a broken inner spring or two if you have dual springs.

    Idle Transfer Slot on secondaries?

    The way I have done it for 60 years (Right or Wrong) is to have no transitional slots exposed. . If required, I drill small holes in the throttle plates to get the idle high enough to tune with the Air Bleeds. However, I deal with very radical engines with very little vacuum signal.

    4 Headlights or 2 Headlights; opinions needed.

    I do not particularly care for the 4 light look on a Valiant.

    Have you ever lost

    My understanding was that Keturah was actually Hagar (Sarah's Handmaiden) who had Abraham had fathered a child (Ishmael) with 50 some years before that had taken another name. People lived a lot longer in those day. However, I am very far from a Bible Scholar. Nevertheless, I like your thought!

    Have you ever lost

    Many days my resting pulse is 30 to 35 My Doctor explained that my heart was not contracting enough to pump any blood about half the time. That has continued for several years, but the Doctor does not seem to think it is important enough to be of any concern and at 76 - I feel OK most of the time.

    Have you ever lost

    I did quit cold turkey and walked away from Drag Racing at the Winternationals in 1977. The 1964's Max Wedge went to Ray Christian's shop in Ohio and the 70 Roadrunner 440/6 to Abe Lowen in Canada. Both of them are still on the track still today I believe. My lack of interest was very simple...

    Have you ever lost

    The doctor put me on Statin drugs, although I did not have heart issue or any other reason or numbers that could justify them. I think that at a certain age he gives them to everyone. Well, I got so I could only walk a couple step without falling down and the cramps were so bad it was very hard...

    Have you ever lost

    Nope not our family! Although, sometimes it rattles me to think about what we have spent on it (Seven figures over the years).

    Trailer Axles Lippert VS Dexter

    The lippert axle are about $25 to $50 cheaper than the dexter. The components are interchangeable. Their axles are fine and look identical to the Dexters (Maybe just the sticker is different?). Tubing appears to be identical in strength and bow. All components are interchangeable and readily...

    Bare std 340 block - not mine

    Mine have had the money spent to hot tank/Acid washed, magged and pressure checked plus sonic checked. Plus questionable ones discarded decades ago. All that cost money and takes time. Several of mine are way less than that price although not all.

    I've never played the game.... but many do

    We only run for the money, got no strings attached! We take all the action we can meet. (Springsteen) That is what paid my way thru college and supported me for many years. There is still plenty of action to be had in Vegas area and a fortune still changing hands on a regular basis. My boy...

    Spark, plug wire resistance

    That sound a bit high to me. Are they resistor wires that you bent a lot while crimping the ends on?

    Electrical problems 73 duster

    There are two positions on your key switch: Start 1 = Normal running Start 2 = Engages the starter and bypasses the ballast resistor. You perhaps damage the key Switch or somehow lost power somewhere in the column (pinched wire in loom) Possibly but less likely is that you somehow damaged the...

    Steve Magnante’s Old Valiant

    This IS the car that Steve raced for quite a while with a slant 6. I can post pictures of the rear Firewall to Trunk with the Slant 6 club Decals and other sticker from that period that I kept on the car still. I discussed the history of the car extensive with Steve. It has always been in...

    Steve Magnante’s Old Valiant

    After sitting for a number of years and talking about it last week, we pulled it out of the back of the shop. we changed the fluids and replaced a bad shifter cable. Washed it and took it to LVMS to race maybe for the last time. Jon Jr. won the Sportsman Eliminator (11.50 up full tree) with a...

    Steve Magnante’s Old Valiant

    My son owns and runs a Red 68 Valiant 100 that was Hot Rod Cover Car way back then and voted one of the most influential Hot Rods of first 50 years of Hot Rod Magazine and invited to be displayed at Peterson Automotive Museum. Perhaps that is the Red Valiant you were thinking about. It is still...
