If you're pushing 400hp and have never needed anything other than stock drums, well, that 400hp is being completely wasted. It's not hard to overdrive a set of stock drums with 400 hp, not hard at all. Ah the old ignorant rear disks aren't needed opinion. Rear disks brakes have been shown...

a totally unnecessary amount of horsepower for the car. you should put a 318 2bbl back in. especially if you're not racing or doing any kind of spirited driving.

I had a Big-Ole Open Spot on the Dash where a Formula S Tachometer could go... I put a set of Volts/Oil gauges there for some extra assurance.

Also a lot of moisture in the Pacific Ocean

A warning light is like being told you have a disease as you reach the point to need surgery. A gauge spots abnormalities before they become a bigger issue.

It came with the car.

It fits but you have to get the wire in the cap then install the cap.

Thanks very much! How is the clearance to the wiper motor, any issues there?

Yes everyone knows front disc are better, but is he upgrading because the drums aren't adequate there not on par with his driving style, have they failed regularly/once and cause near misses my guess probably not ? Rear disc aren't a needed mod. If OP just putt around town drums are fine. If...

Yes once you convert Kpa to Hg in your head or on paper. EVERYTHING else is super easy. I installed the distributor in 30 minutes. Super nice unit, you can modify the curve on the fly while the car is running! Good family business. It’s all you need. No box is needed. All solid state with...

What heat range are the plugs? Should be NGK 5s. Too cold will look like post #1.

A lot of moisture in China....

I can tell you this: engine idling; if turn the dist CCW [ to advance the timing ] to about 28-30*, the engine will: - idle faster [ making more hp ] - idle smoother - make more vacuum - run cooler. I would do this, re-adjust carb, see if it helps the stalling problem. Backfiring could be many...

TOTALLY what he said. You will regret sanding with 400 and then applying filler. 400 will not give the 'tooth' required to give the filler something to really stick to.

You can run without PCV. But these carbs are designed to pull about 3 cfm of the ~20cfm of idle air from the PCV. Without PCV, the air has to come from somewhere else...such as small holes in the t/plates. I no nothing about Progression Ign Dist......but if it does not allow you give the ign...

Raise the front wheels off the ground, loosen the two bolts that hold the valve block to the top of the steering box... They should be snug but not tight... Start the car.. Tap the valve block with a small hammer, forward or rearward... As soon as it moves you'll see the effect & you'll know...

No

That's a great idea. What was your address again? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

If you still use an ignition system with a ballast, there is no/ very little current there anyhow, as the "run" wire goes dead during cranking. One thing you for sure want to do, is check for voltage drop, as that run circuit is very prone, and affects charging voltage. Turn the...

That makes no sense at all. Just because your drum brakes work "fine", that doesn't mean the car could not benefit by the addition of disk brakes. Everybody knows that disk brakes work better, will stop your car in a shorter distance, will not fade with heat as bad as drums, and are, therefore...

Is the Progression Ignition distributor easy and intuitive to use? I've been curious about these.
