    Engine of barn find-steps to evaluate/save

    PCV became standard equipment on California-delivered cars for '61 and New York-delivered cars for '62. It was orderable in all states.

    Pinging on acceleration.

    My 170 ran best at 12. And that was with a brandy new timing set so it wasn't retarded from being sloppy. Basically what I was trying to tell him is just experiment around with it and see. That's the only way he's gonna learn.

    Pinging on acceleration.

    10° is overly much—it'll throw the carburetor idle adjustments too far out of whack. It'll also foment pinging on acceleration, which was kind of the start of this thread. 5° is a better starting point, with the goal of winding up somewhere between 2.5° (the spec setting for the good-running...

    Pinging on acceleration.

    No, in the '60s regular gas was 91 octane, by the RON method (Research Octane Number). Other parts of the world still post RON on the pumps, but since the '70s in North America, we use the AKI method (Antiknock index), which is the average of the RON and the always-lower MON, Motor Octane...

    Post 4 and 26 elude to it. Zero degrees will get you nowhere. I had my stone stock 170 at 12 initial. I tried 15, but that was a tad too much. It ran a little rough.

    Edelbrock LD340 Intake Manifold Usable Max RPM?

    At least you’re blessed with .903 lifters. You should definitely take advantage of that.

    Tony's parts acquired by Vans Auto.

    Tony has wanted to retire for a while now, so I'm glad he finally can. He's pulled his time and done a lot of good for our Mopar hobby. I've known him for many years, and he has always been fair on prices, be it selling me something or buying stuff from me at swap meets. :thumbsup:

    Seriously wrong Car Identifications ?????????

    We had a young couple move in across the street in the spring. The first time I got the Cuda out for trip around the block it was all stop and stare. Any ways, when I went over to introduce myself later that week he asked if the car was a Mustang.

    Is This Big Honking Dent Suppose To Be There?

    Probably just a pucker from the draw operation in the stamping . I have a 394 pan that doesn’t have it ,,,but it’s in the same vicinity of the corner radius. But my pan is from a later year,,,68 I think,,,,and they might have corrected the die by then . Tommy

    360 TBI distributors

    The hall effect pickup in that distributor is generally a pretty reliable setup as far as that goes. No physical advance mechanisms; the advance curves are all in lookup tables in the SMEC or SBEC. I had plans refined to just short of the buy-hardware-and-go-try-it-out stage, to put a vacuum +...

    Seriously wrong Car Identifications ?????????

    In 2007 I was at an SAE lighting standards development meeting. Sat down next to the Chrysler delegate and asked him something or other about the lighting system on the recently-launched Dodge Matrix. Took a beat and a half before I processed what I'd said and had to go "I mean Caliber". (I...

    Another "brake help" thread...

    Yeah that is similar. Thanks Enertia. but that is just a safety switch. I think this is the right Combination valve. Here you can see how the fluid is shut off by full-travel of the shuttle.

    Out in a Blaze of Glory - Low Dollar 318

    Doesn't even require a stroker. My old duster, that my buddy has now, is a all steel, minus hood, full interior street car, still has heat and full factory interior, just ran 6.82 at 100.8 last Thursday night. Flat top, pump gas, 9.8 to 1 stock stroke 340, with mild ported W2s howards solid...

    Is This Big Honking Dent Suppose To Be There?

    Doesn't look like a factory "dent". Maybe a little heat & carefully hammer & dollying it out since you have it off?

    Edelbrock LD340 Intake Manifold Usable Max RPM?

    I imagine if the rest is built to turn 7000 + rpm the manifold will go there maybe kicking and screaming a little, obviously won't make as much hp as the proper manifold but the whole class is basically held back the same as you (as long their not cheating). I'd check into the Darin's idea of...

    Pinging on acceleration.

    Well of course it will fall on its face. You've been told time and again 0 degrees is nowhere near enough initial advance. What does it take to get through? Pull it up to 10 degrees and enjoy it.
