Thank you, I was trying that last night with one I rented from O'reilly's. I opened it up probably about 1/64 of an inch was just too afraid to keep going. I had to start using my impact to get it to open up that far. Guess I will just have to try it again.
Hi all,
Have a slight problem, Getting ready to install new Flowmaster Delta mufflers on my reproduction tailpipes 2-1/4 I bought from yearone about 13 years ago and never installed them until now. Problem is the outlet on the muffler is 2.250 I.D. and the tailpipe O.D. is 2.274. What the heck...
To give all an update on this problem I had/have. A few years or so car would run okay at times then run crappy it
was really inconsistent. Would pull plugs a few times in the last three years and some would look okay others had some black
soot what ever the reason they just stopped burning...
Well, for one thing it is a dual field alternator and I have one of them electronic voltage regulators that looks like original but
has the electronics inside and it runs from 14.51 cold to 13.70 when hot. And I also have all new engine and engine bay wiring.
If you buy their flamethrower coils you can use a 12 gauge jumper wire through the ballast and reinstall it
and you don't have to physically remove it. Yes it does talk about that on the original pertronix and the pertronix 2 and
I'm pretty sure number 3 say's it also. their coils are made to...
Hi again, I have installed the pertronix 2 and coil and bypassed ballast and it runs like sh_t!
Sluggish and runs rough. Distributor is in near perfect condition did all kinds of trial and error and just can't get it to run the way it should. Stuck my points back in and runs perfect. One thing I...
This tool look's to be in my range more than the first one.

I started out with the 1/2 turn was a little noisy when hot then to 1 turn then 1 1/2 and that made it quiet. They have always been noisy when starting up cold after sitting a couple days.
Would this tool work?

So I am just removing a push rod adjust the checking tool to the same length as the push rod then insert the tool in and turn in the screw on the rocker until I have zero lash which is when I feel a drag or is it the up and down technique of the push rod? Then take the checking rod back out and...
I do know that I have close to 3 threads showing on the rocker on the push rod side. That would tell me they are too short
so last night I was thinking maybe I need about 8.290 length which 440 source sells.
Thank you, good stuff to learn here! I have already done a search on how to do this procedure but I'm not sure
what is being measured exactly. Does the lift of your cam ever come into play on this measurement? Shouldn't the travel of the pushrod
from the valve being closed to it being fully open...
I kind of figured that I would have to do. I just have never done it before to know what the heck I am doing! Anyone like
to explain to me how to do that? Can I do it the way you mark a line on the push when your at zero then go 1/2 to 1 turn with the screw and then mark another line on the rod...
Hey Guy's,
Can you guy's tell me what length of pushrod I need for 383 with hydraulic cam and crane adjustable rockers? i have had these for years and the pushrods I have are 8.250 which Mancini Racing told me to use. But at every cold start up after sitting for more than a day I have valve...
