My deaf boy has an ear infection. While vet and technician were trying to clean his ears and medicate him, he peed on the tech. I was embarrassed but she shook it off. Stuff happens, part of the job.

Go get you some Jimmy (Stewart).

Indian head? Is that a port-a-potty teepee?

I had a .590 purple shaft in a 440 with factory iron adjustable rockers. After lash on the solid lifter cam, the valves really moved about .525.

Those sound good, imo. The only thing I'd be concerned about would be rubbing on the inside, either the tub or spring, in the rear with 275s. That's a nice offset to the inside. Put the wheel on the car in the rear, and see how much room you have to the spring. Then take the published section...

I believe factory arms run around 1.45. If you switch to a roller 1.6, you will likely need new pushrods too.

If you have 1.5s, I wouldn't expect the 1.6s improvement to be worth the cost. If you DONT have 1.5s already, no reason not to buy 1.6s (Except maybe pushrod clearance.).

Saw an advisory concerning extra security for Hanukkah celebrations. Probably related to the Bondi Beach massacre. Stay safe, Jewish friends. And Happy Hanukkah!

Cause Green Bay lost? What a fair-weather fan! Lol!

What crossover passages? The only passage is the one under the carb, and your pan already blocks that. But, use what you want. Sounds like advice from a chevy or small block mopar guy, with water passages in the intake..... that bbm don't have.

If you decide to open em up , just drill a hole, you won't need to shape to the opening. I'm in AZ and Cali. I leave mine blocked off. Last thing I need is more heat under the carb.

I think 71 only. Same time as the compression reduction. Darnit. Didn't even see Remchargers post. Just had to open my big mouth after seeing #20. Oh well.

If it vibrates at 50 mph, note rpm. Then free rev it to same rpm in your driveway in neutral. If the vibration is the same.... it's in the motor or trans. If it's gone, or much less, your problem is in something ELSE, that rotates down the road.

How tight are the fillings in your teeth? I think if you had internal/external balance problems, you'd know it.

There are parts of I-40 where the road is straight as a string for miles and miles. At three a.m., could probably let the bear out safely (the usual time that I travel that section). But the reward, finding out what my car will really do, is not worth the risk. I'd rather play on the dragstrip.
