I felt I was quite meticulous of the 4 corners and how the rear main seal retainer goes using sealer. I did forget to put anything on the two bolts which hold the rear seal retainer:( If weather is nice or tolerable, I'll fire it back up tomorrow and see what gives. It's fun to hear it run...

junkyardhero, thanks for the suggestion, i have a powdercoat guy thats very reasonable, i think thats the direction im going...Rich

if you can get it done cheap, powdercoat is probably the best option. the shields see a ton abuse so the options are: use something that'll hopefully stand up for a long time (powdercoat) or use something that's easy to touch up (paint). if PC is too $$ on it, then i'd go with engine paint...

I might have something for you let me check. That is the signet Model correct?

Every thing front suspension wise is new. Steering box and column only thing left

Oil leak is either the rear main seal or the oil pan gasket. Did you put a dab of RTV in each of the four corners where the cork meets the rubber end seals? Also, if the shop did not put sealer "of some kind" on the freeze plugs, they will leak. I use a thin layer of RTV and have never had one leak.

Copy that. Steering coupler could need to be rebuilt as well. I had a 20:1 PST manual box on one of my cars before I sold it and was happy with it. Requires a little more muscle when parking and it's a little more difficult to back into spaces but I preferred it when out on the road. Not...

:rofl:

What size tire is that

This. And also, is everything in your steering linkage/suspension new? Because if your tie rod ends, pitman, idler or steering coupler are worn it will feel the same as play in the steering box.

I have not been able to find an answer so here goes... Will an HEI distributor work on a 6 pack setup without interfering with the lower air cleaner pan?

even though they claim self learning all of the guys i know using the holley efi have to have them tuned.

I believe I have it maxed out now

Out of curiosity, what clutch do you run? What transmision and rear gear ratio?

That's a different grind than the 4 speed cam. The 4 speed cam was a dual pattern, just like the auto cam. It had more duration though and it may have had more lift too. Yeah, here it is from @krazykuda right out of the 1968 service manual. 68 340 4 speed cam: 276°/284° duration .444"/.453"...

Have you tried adjusting yours first? There is an adjustment nut on top. Might as well give that a shot before spending money. Unless you're just wanting something different.

EFI does not increase power unless your carb is way out of tune.

i know it's a lot of dosh to throw down, but here's a 2nd rec for TTI head pipes. i've used them a bunch and the fit is absolutely perfect, parts are top quality. it's a small price to pay in the interest of not fiddle-******* around with some low-rent junk and burning a day while being...

See my post above.

What are you guys recommendations on replacing steering box. Mine is feeling loose, not sure which direction to go.

Only problem is, that is not a 350KW generator. They are the size of a small garage and you could probably run 20 houses off of one. Kohler 350REOZDD 350 kW diesel generator:

I've never seen one "self adjust" worth a ****. You can fix what you have, but I'm not typing out the how. If you read Vizard about carbs you'll be screwed up. I suggest you scour FABO for posts by @Mattax and then see if he can hook you up with some links to the stuff "Tuner" has posted. Read...

I may still have one new, or a decent used one you can have . Let me check.

Used lots of smaller generators on construction sites, usually gas, but they all acted the same way. As the load came on the throttle opened more until total load was achieved then the tools would slow down and someone would have to shut their tool off. Smaller generators are hard on power tools

Expand on this with examples please. I have had no luck running light fw's on the street with 600+ hp/tq. It has more to do with how the clutch reacts to the engine speed down low.

Both work on frigid issues.

If you can't get local help, I think your best bet right now is to follow the advice given on tracing out the schematic and start asking questions when you get stuck. Don't worry about if you think it's a stupid question or not. A few answers later and it'll unlock your ability to start...

All 3 of those points are totally valid. I would also add the question of parts availability. e.g. just exactly what throttle position sensor (or any other component) does my aftermarket EFI system use? Can I get it from the auto parts store today, or tomorrow at the latest? All 3 of those...
