Thank you

Can someone decode these numbers on automatic transmission

Pictures of the restoration prior to me purchasing in 2008.

I see cars being restored where just about every piece is replaced including radiator support and trunk rail, does that mean they’re not legitimate cars if they have a title that matches dash vin tag? These cars have been around 50+ years and been driven year round used abused and crashed. Full...

Geoff, I do see the advantage with stock distributors, but with shortened advance curve allowing 20-22* initial that doesn’t ping and not kicking back? Like others have said it depends, either could be made to work well.

I’m with threewood, if you have a recurved advance unit which enables high initial timing to get desired idle with correct primary blade position and desired total then I don’t see the advantage. Stock everything, then yes manifold would be an advantage.

Manifold according to his video.

He is a you tuber, I never said anything about gospel, it was a question, that’s all.

Planning ahead and thinking about vacuum advance adjustment. Have my initial and total set and ran out of weather before I could dial in vacuum. I’ve watched Tall John’s video on how he does it, and have read putting vacuum gauge where it can be seen while cruising on flat road and using mighty...

Took a few plugs out they all look the same, odd color could be from Techron added. Been in for 17 years time for new ones.

G haven’t checked it hooked up to vacuum can just with vacuum gauge to manifold that’s where I’m getting 14 in park 10 in drive

I put carb back together left weight over ball in pump well and put pump with stiffer spring/orange cup using Edelbrock 3/8 spacer under carb. Set primary blade with .020 t slot showing. I’m hoping I can get vacuum up with timing to allow use of vacuum advance from manifold and not have big drop...

Checked vacuum canister today, found it fully CW.
