    14" Disk brakes

    I'm not stopping the dude from putting on disc brakes if he wants be it two or four wheel disc. I could be wrong but from the pic's of the looks fair stock and gonna just be putting around town and people sometimes think/told you have to modernize every part of these cars, I'm just saying you...

    Just a Note About New Lifters

    Salt Water Ocean, yeah that corrodes things. 1 mile off the Atlantic Ocean when in Florida, just the Ocean salt mist in the air will badly corrode and pit things real quick. Anything bare steel is bad, tools and wrenches sitting around in the little tool shed all get rusty just from the salt...

    14" Disk brakes

    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...

    14" Disk brakes

    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.

    "Idiot light" vs. Oil Pressure Gauge

    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.

    "Idiot light" vs. Oil Pressure Gauge

    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.

    14" Disk brakes

    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...

    Manifold Vacuum Advance what am I not getting?

    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...

    Tune up questions

    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...

    Paint sanding question

    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.

    Idle Transfer Slot on secondaries?

    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...

    Self-centering (or lack thereof) in park and camber / caster / toe settings

    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...
