Keep talking beaner, without you, it would just be CL, and no one wants a car with CL. They want a car with CLASS. So that means everyone wants...
Beaner, funny how you don't have anything better to do than go back through posts you're "done with" to get in one last quick jab. I guess the...
It has nothing to do with being thin skinned or not. It has to do with this being a place for collective information and respect or shit talking....
Maybe, just maybe, since I had already planned to buy a double, or triple manifold, I figured that rather than spending money on a 65 year old...
Thank you so much for that helpful tidbit and insight into my intake leak. Your advice was both constructive and invited.
Beaner, why don't you stop talking trash and go away? Running your mouth and suggesting I don't know how to use a torque wrench is asinine and...
SO, last night after work, I did my intake gasket. To set the stage, know that when I initially installed the intake, I used stainless steel...

No, but that's a great idea. HOWEVER, from the behavior of the car, it doesn't seem like fuel. #6 spark plug is a fair bit darker than all the...
Oh, update: I tried to drive the car to Boston on the highway Sunday and after approx 10 miles on the highway, the miss was so bad that I pulled...
I specified to my engine builder the exact thing that Schneider cams told me: Zephyr or any other 100lb springs and 1 shim. Now, do I know if...
I'm having an extremely similar symptom but with one particular plug that looks bad. Have been through my carb 10 times, jetted it, changed to...
SO, I did a plug chop last night real late (I'm sure my neighbors were happy) and it looks like there were 2 plugs with a medium/dark brown...
Update: So, today, I installed a good 7.5" power valve in my carb. It has stock jets and the idle screws are @ 1 1/4 turns out. I reinstalled...
[ATTACH] Oops, the title said "In front of....."
The plot thickens: Put stock distributor last night and it wouldn't start worth a crap. Wouldn't even idle. Checked the carb and it was seeping...
I'm going to throw some 52 jets I have kicking around in it when I get home, before my trip northward. I will also double check the base timing...
But I 100% agree now that I'm worrying about a temperature/overheating problem that isn't there. I will verify Sunday when I throw a temp gauge...
Read my first post. It says why I used a 13# cap: A modern aluminum radiator with modern Bob Drake water pumps. Also, it states that I have a...
Thanks a lot guys for the input. I'm taking the car for a several hundred mile trip this weeken and will be addressing most of your suggestions...
WARNING: Long Winded Post. If you're not into reading, I don't blame you for moving on. But here's a beg for help. Ok, I'm here for any help...
Falcon, I agree, but the points and condenser had been replaced by the previous owner as part of a partial tune up to hide be broken piston ring...
I'm really starting to think I jinxed myself with this username........... :(
Just ordered one of Bubba's mech advance dizzys. He said it will be a week or two.
Thanks Beaner, I'll call Napa.
It was an extremely old, somewhat rusty, Prestolite coil. It was a proper 6v, non resisted coil of stock replacement design, so the evidence...
I'm very aware of that and a long time friend of mine is the store manager of the autozone in south Nashua. BUT, they didn't stock the delco coil...
The Pistons were custom made by EGGE for my motor. Guys, the engine is legit. The block was only decked a bare minimum. It was just cleaned up...
Also, the Chinese, unlike American people, still appreciate American quality. Even if it's a Buick. Lol...
