I thought it didn't matter which timing cover was used

Who said anything about being ticketed for using hand signals? I think obtuse was right on the mark.

Using hand signals is fine. What you're not grasping is, inoperative vehicle equipment IS a ticketable offense. Let's say you were in something a lot older that didn't come with turn signals. Then, you're likely completely in the clear. But to have original equipment like turn signals that don't...

So did you buy this from autozone or just picked it up there.

Think they have a wider shoe, at least on the front Drums vs like a '67. Not sure... ☆☆☆☆☆

Been ticketed before for exhibition of speed on motorcycles in the past but never for using hand signals.

We’re okay here. Nothing much happening. But man Tennessee, the Carolinas down to Florida are hurting bad. Entire towns in TN and North Carolina have been swept away by flash flooding

Obtuse ? That seems a bit harsh. If you know a signal is not working or even present on a vehicle and your following the law as written I doubt in Cali you'd be pulled over. Flicking an ash out the window is a different story. Sorry for the disagreement. Jeff

I always take the spring off to install them. then put the spring back on. It’s easily damaged so why take to chance as it only takes a second to do it the way I do.

Hey everybody, no speeding or burnouts either .

You're so obtuse you'll never understand what I said.

Are the 70-72. 9" brakes the same as the earlier A bodies ?

This popped back up and reminded me of a story from the past. "How do people make money?" When I was I guess about 16, we were sittin around the table after supper just chattin. We were talkin about what we (my sister and I) were gonna do for a living in adulthood. My sister rattled on and on...

Not so fast. Here in Cali follow these rules, other states may vary of course.

Just confirmed bracket is 3/8-24 thread pitch. So based on what your telling me, 70-72 pins will work.

Right, but it doesn’t matter, you still have to figure out what you have, because it may not be right regardless of the year. And to that end, I remembered that I have a ‘73 C-body spindle and brake caliper bracket set up, because it’s a 1 year only deal for C body brake conversions. And I have...

This is what we call "bag of worms". I can confirm the thread pitch; no problem. It's just the pins for 73 are not available per my searching. Thanks for your comments and appreciate the help.

Just got back with my engine~ I was hoping they were going to install the pistons, but I can do it. Flywheel turned with the starter ring. camshaft from Oregon cams/lifters, new valve springs to match the cam, .40 over new pistons, :)9:1 compression(thereabouts), bronze valve guides/valve job...

I think they were also.

So right, Was not planning using it. Sacrifice to the God of Speed.

Yeah, hand signals are legal. We all get it. Now once more, and try to follow along this time. What's NOT LEGAL is inoperative motor vehicle equipment and you can and probably will be ticketed for it.

Valve lashing / adjustment done. Actually very easy to do while it is running. Valve cover was a ***** to get off only because of all the fuel lines, vacuum lines, etc..... cleaning all that up is a project for another day. After doing it I would rather do the adjustments hot and running...

Hey , just did another small pick from a guy real close to where we're staying. 72 Duster stuff. Nice little haul. Don't know how I'll get it all home but I find a way.

That sounds like somethin I'd say. lol

If you are a bracket/index guy and tune for a dead hook on the worst surface you are likely to run on, won't need to change much to run on a good surface :) I might have a few pics back at the shop, but I won't be back until next week. Just made some room in my inbox... Grant
