Not to be an *** because you’re trying to help but you need to rethink how ported vacuum works, your description is very wrong. It is similar to manifold vacuum except for at idle.

I wouldn’t change the heat range just yet. It looks close. Those plugs are pig rich everywhere. Idle, cruise and wot. You’ve got some carb work to do. Then get a new set of plugs and retest. What’s the timing set at?

Missed that completely, thanks. I don’t see why you couldn’t cut that garbage off and forge a tip like a regular distributor and run it like that.

Why in hell would that distributor require the use of dry sump oiling?

You’re kickin ***! That looks great from where I’m sitting!

Race week 2.0 live feed is also up right now on bangshift.

Haven’t missed a second. I have ot playing on my laptop all day.

It’s for redundancy. We run a dual pick up and dual boxes in our race truck and can switch ignition systems on a toggle and a coil wire swap.

Wow. Sad, although I’d like to take a shot at making it usable again. I like projects like that.

Glendora Dodge? That’s where I got the wide MP valve covers I use on my W2 engine.

I agree. What a **** show that whole race was. And then they kill the broadcast before final round of top fuel?

When the eq heads moved overseas to China (from Australia) the quality went away fast. I actually don’t even think they are even the same casting but I could be wrong on that. There are plenty of threads here showing how bad these are ootb, just do a search. That’s not to say they can’t be made...

The summit carb is a copy of a FoMoCo carburetor that Holley manufactured for ford. Edited to add; I may be wrong. It looks like the autolite 4 barrels were not manufactured by Holley. I’ll have to dig in to this a bit. I actually own one on a 64 galaxie I should know.

Appreciate the offer but the auction has ended.

Start a new thread, and ask that question. You’ll get more help. First thing I’d do is monitor fuel pressure, making sure its consistent and ground the ecu.

Will you sell the carb separately?

The ngk 4 is a hot plug. Looking at your pics it appears to be holding too much chamber temp. I like your previous plug choice better. The 6 or maybe even a 7 would be better. And you need a degree or two more total timing IMO for best power. If you’re confident in the tune up, go make a few...

I second this. And if you just pull a rod cap, the lower shell usually looks great. You have to look at the upper shell. And most of the ones I’ve done needed cam bearings.

The auction has ended but I’m sure you could still donate to Del. PM him.

I have no idea. I didn’t know speedmaster had a cast head.

I’m glad you are considering it. I don’t think I’ve seen a set of stock magnum cast heads ported someone with your background or experience. I’d like to.

I watched Isky Straighten a cam years ago, and couldn’t believe how he did it. The cam was mountsed in V blocks similar to that, with a dial indicator, and he would roll it over, check the dial, then whack it with a BFH in specific places. It was great watching a master at work.

Why so much interest in magnum heads as of late?

A stock 5.9 magnum head from another junkyard engine sounds to me like your only option. There are Chinese (EQ) replacement magnum stock style heads but they are junk.

Why can’t you use a thick spring locator? Howard’s had some 060 last time I looked. They may have thicker than that. For example COMP Cams 4713-16 COMP Cams Valve Spring Locators | Summit Racing That’s .100 thick. The spring diameters may not work for you but they might have something that does.

Call Bullet. That’s the only right answer. He’ll give you the correct lash for your lobe. How much your lash changes during a heat cycle you’ll have to test for.

Good!

I was gonna say it looks like any old pencil from any old school. Then I noticed the “chrysler Corporation” script. That is way cool.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the tilt. While you’re driving the fuel in the bowls is far from static in level and always moving around. When you’re on the gas hard (when all of this tuning really matters) all of the fuel will be crammed one way in the primary and one way in the secondary...
