Still for sale :)

Here's the inside of the trunk, I did not do much to it. The tape is covering up a few small holes so that exhaust fumes do not travel in to the car.

I'm selling it because I am forced to move soon and where I'm moving to I would be unable to take it with me. The only other option is to park it at my parents house an hour away where it would be subjected t the weather and would slowly get worse and worse... I'de rather sell it to someone...

I have been restoring this Scamp over a year now and have lately been driving it around town. Engine is a 318 block with 340 X-heads and 340 intake, the cam/crank/bore/stroke is all unknown to me as I never went that far into the engine. The 904 trans, front disc brakes, front end rebuilt...

Unfortunately I am pressed to sell my pride and joy, in an effort to get a more family friendly vehicle. I have been bringing this Scamp back from the dead for over a year now and have lately been driving it all around town. engine is a 318 block with 340 X-heads and 340 intake, the...

Welcome from Charlotte!

hmm...

Just wondering who has experience with these bad-boys and what jet size you would suggest... It's running lean now for sure, it's a 318 block running 340 X-heads, 340 intake, cam, I'm not sure if it's stroked or not but it's very possible as this was a weekend dragster many years ago...

UPDATE:: Checked everything over again, should the rocker arms have a little play in them when the lifters aren't putting pressure on them? (non adjustable) - I found at least 1 rod that was definitely bent. I just ordered 16 new rods (for like $32 with shipping included) and I hope...

Thanks for sharing! Awesome!

Congrats!

New exhaust manifold gaskets fixed the ex leak that I had in the past, this sounds like it's coming right from the valve cover, it's a tapping sound that gets faster as RPM's increase... I'll get a video tomorrow after my morning classes and post it, maybe that will help a bit.

as in improper sealing of the exhaust valve?

But what should I look for? I've never been that far into an engine so im unsure... I had the rocker shafts off along with the rockers and I pulled the rods to make sure they looked ok, what else could be done without pulling the head off?

History of the engine is - it used to frequent the local drag strip before being parks for many years. all I know about it is that it's a 318 block with X-heads and 340 intake, and some aftermarket cam. everything else is unknown. Could very well be stroked, certainly has some work done in...

I've got a ticking coming from under the passenger side valve cover, I read that the first thing to try is a thicker oil, how thick would you go? is 20w-50 too thick? engine runs pretty well, maybe a slight occasional miss, haven't done a compression test yet. any thoughts? I'de love to...

it's a pretty loud screech (sounds to me like metal on metal) - and I just changed speedo cable, happened with the old broke one and the new not-broke one. gonna go see if the metal tabs are running on the rotors...

The pads are brand new - sensors?

Ok here it is. I have this screeching sound while rolling/driving. It's loudest when I'm barely rolling. Cleaned off pads and shoes - still "screeech" I have re-packed all of my wheel bearings - no dice. Re-torque my pinion nut to 240 ft lbs - still squeaking... I checked to see if...

I've got 2... one in NC and one in SC... still nowhere near Chicago :(

X2 , it was easier for me since I was here looking at it. glad this fixed the issue... now to tackle the next 150 issues... lol Can't bring a car back from the dead and expect it to have no problems I suppose!

Distributor had to turn clockwise, the intake was preventing it from turning CCW.
