And RRR, you need a refresher course in physics. Pressure & volume are two different entities. In terms of supplying fuel to a carb, there is no 'fighting' between the two. They work together. There would be no volume of fuel delivered to the carb without pressure.

I replaced 2 alternators between 4 cars in 18 years. 67 dart with run of the mill parts store (Kragen) rebuilt from 1990 (28 years) And 96 Jeep Grand cherokee, replaced the OEM alt 5 years ago. (23 years)

Asking and getting are two very different things!

The moron is the one doing the typing in post#105.

Probably not much help now but I installed an Oregon cam a year or so ago with the same Cloyes chain set....no issues (at least the motor runs lol). I hadn't built a V8 in a number of years so I referred to this video which I thought was straightforward.

Nick, You are correct. Don't know what I was thinking.....

Those don’t look any more tucked in than the Doug’s D453’s on my Duster. You can see 2/3 of the header flange below the frame rail. What’s the distance from the top of the header flange to the floorboard? Car looks like it sits high enough that header clearance isn’t much of an issue anyway.

I have often thought that, but I have installed several, and they all worked fine without priming.

Shep, You said the idle rpm increased when you increased initial timing to 30*. Does not surprise me at all. With other symptoms, all indicative of a bigger cam. So is the increased idle speed to keep the engine running, part of the 'cost' of a bigger cam.

107+115=222 and 222/2=111 LSA doesn't it?

Post #24. Nope, you do NOT want misting or fuel exiting the boosters at idle. This would mean the main system is operating at idle, when only the idle system should be operating & supplying idle fuel to the engine. A very common cause for this is a 'big [ger]' cam that needs more air & fuel to...

Hi Folks Does the 1/8 feed line to an aftermarket mechanical oil pressure gauge need to be primed before connecting it to the gauge or does it get connected dry? In all honesty, I don't ever remember priming one. Thanks FABO

There is an error in post #1. 111 LSA, 107 ICL, 115 ECL. LSA should equate to ICL + ECL divided by 2, but it soesn't...

I borrowed a factory magnum head from a friend and found that the floor of the port was 0.450" from the deck and the ceiling was 2.600" So these "magnum" eq head ports are every bit of 1/8" off or more.

It appears what you did was the correct procedure, but you simply made a mistake somewhere. Happens all the time. No need for a senior citizen home. It's just a hunk of metal. You'll get it figured out.

Some pics of it sitting on a chassis from a couple owners before us

Franklin Mint

I have not yet, gentleman we got it from didn't know the history, need to contact him again and see if I can maybe get the info for the guy that he got it from to trace it back, am kind of curious as well.

Have you figured out whose it was back in the day? It would behoove you to do some research...

The temp sensor went in the 5/16 hole

Please see post #24 and let me know if what I did was correct or wrong before I commit myself to a Senior Citizen Home!!!!!

Figured y'all would get a kick out of this. We picked up this body the other day and hopefully will start piling parts together over next couple years to get it built to go bracket racing with. Fully fiberglass, stretched and narrowed a little bit. Should be pretty fun!

I went out of the thread, came back in, same thing so I took a screenshot. Using a iPhone.

Who makes the purple Cuda in styrofoam ?

I did it exactly as what Comp Cams listed in there instructions online except for the following, I set my indicator on a lifter face, I did it on both sides of the lifter instead of the spring retainer as Comp said to use in step 5....... Step 2: Position the #1 piston at Top Dead Center (TDC)...

I’m running a tensioner on a double roller timing chain. Been in there for several years, but I haven’t had the motor apart to look at it either. I did have a problem with the timing chain skipping off the fuel pump arm since the roller cam floats a little. I pulled the fuel pump and hammered...

The 70 Dart ralley guage dash is a one year only, you might be able to get a 71 Demon to work but there are differences like the radio as you know...

Good looking Demon.

I guess I will add I have seen condenser failures on my tractors more frequently but I also have a pile of NOS condensers that I grab up at auctions yard sales etc in tune up kits of all kinds and they generally all jam into a distributor lol. Another thing you mentioned was headlights dimming...
