If the distributor has been undisturbed and functional I would suggest that there may be varnish buildup on the shaft causing drag. Clean up the...
^ Pressure numbers at what ambient temp are needed. Can't give any worthwhile diagnostic tips without any hard numbers.
PCV valve is a 'metered orifice'. It regulates, or meters, how much it ventilates via how much pressure is applied to the valve. Pressure...
Excellent! Searspoint hosts historic races. Would be a treat to see it on track, even if it was a parade lap. I live ~3miles from Bayfair...
Those heads are more at home on a big bore engine, 2.05" valve oof... screamer engines. You can make them work on a modified 302 28oz or 0oz 302....
Looking at this image... [IMG] Those weights don't look like they are properly parked. Note the center plates shape, it has reliefs for the...
That's not a flaw, it's a feature. For that authentic barnyard feel.
I've had the booger splotches on tires, usually washes off, same with the white scuffing.
Before going all out on engine power numbers, if the chassis setup is crap then the car will just get slower with more power. There was a joke we...
Well since they are not serial numbers, it's not looking like an easy win anyway....
If you do have the pump, rebuild it yourself using the $10 Sunsong or Edelmann kits with bushing. $150 rebuilt units from the local parts house...
I get a chuckle of guys using 50 weight racing oil in there 90HP Flatheads because 'ZDDP!' Save your money and aggro, M1 FS 0W-40 'european car'...

FWIW, F series til '76 used 360/390 FE engines and C6. So there should be, at least, a decade worth of FE C6 cases available Date/casting codes...
Meh. Most likely the system is setup for purchase and not browsing. Costco tire centers around here are usually very busy. Thus in a parking lot...
Is it the correct flexplate? 428 flexplate has an external counterweight, 390 does not. Correct starter for the application? Are the block dowels...
Here in the States those 12 hole AL rim were cool until that style became the premier trailer wheel. Oof. Convo Pros seemed to pickup from where...
As a bit of an 78-88 Cutlass geek, that wagon is a good price. If the p side isnt mangled. It deserves a 403/TH2004R and 3.42 or 3.73 gears. One...

Factory routing on my OT Fairmont has little trees that mount over studs protruding from the 302 valve cover bolts. They are angled and keep the...
A T50 is an orphan. I have a broken one. The gear shift pattern is a bit funky. Reverse is where 1st would be, 1st is 2nd, and so on. Last time I...
Did you check the pumps clearances? Maybe the pressure relief spring is weak(?). Any oil gallery plugs that could have potentially not been...
Verify with another known good oil pressure gauge.
Highly suggest measuring those rotors in all dimensions. Diameter, thickness, height, registrr bore and bolt circle. Metric will give you accurate...
Use a piece of cardboard, or card stock, to 'wall off' around the carb to try to locate the sound. When the sound changes, you've located where...
Would be more concerned about the frame limiting droop. From this angle there doesn't appear to be much bump travel either. C4 coil over...
