I have the Hampton 6-71 kit for my 340, blower is back at Hampton's getting updated as I bought the kit back in the late 80's Just got the carbs back from Holley, had them do the boost reference update to them

Thanks for the heads up on the BDS book fish

This^^^^ I presently have my engine apart for a refresh up. I am going off memory as my engine was originally built probably 15 years ago. It sat for a long time before I put it in a car. Presently it has Venolia 6.5/7.0 pistons with stock rods and arp bolts. I am changing the rods to manley...

I'll add another one for you. I have a kit from Hampton blowers on my 340 http://hamptonblowers.com/

I think it was at max lift,I'll order some shims to raise it and see how that comes out...thanks again

If this question is for me...yes it has run awhile..mostly cruising,as the car had so many other issues I never made a pass on it

I ran across this thread last night and probably would not have checked my engine before I took it apart today. So looking at mine,I seem to have the same issue as John had on his. I do know that I have had the heads redone once since this engine was originally built many years ago. So if the...

Mine,when it's together.........
