Seriously love your brevity by the way!

Are they just not flat or inconsistent? Do they work well on a machined head?

Yep that was clear when I started it…should’ve read first…gonna hang onto them though…eventually I’ll get some nice aluminum heads to keep them company…

Forgot to mention I’m running the Mopar cast aluminum covers. I used Permatex 2 to seal them and hopefully isn’t to hard to get it off since it doesn’t fully harden…

Hey guys, I have 906 cast iron heads and the old cork valve cover gaskets were getting pretty ratty so I thought I’d try the Moroso blue rubber gaskets…they leaked like crazy on both sides and I attributed that to the imperfections of the cast iron mating surface. So I’m back to a new set of...

Agreed. Should’ve taken it one step at a time but obviously your saying 42 total

This also crossed my mind…because the idle eventually settles down…

I live in the south and don’t need the choke…I’ve always had it disconnected and choke stuck open with a zip tie so I just lopped it off while carb was off… Yea I’m just trying to get it to not burn my eyeballs out as much at long lights…that’s what started this adventure. I’d love to buy a...

Hey guys, trying to dial in again after modifying a few things on my Holley 750 DP….I have timing at 16 initial, 33 total with vac advance disconnected. It could use a bit (a lot) more although I haven’t test driven yet since getting it back together and stopped for the night. PROBLEM: when...

Thanks for the advice…I’ll get down there tomorrow to figure out which one is TDC.

Hey guys - just for my own information, does anyone know what harmonic damper I have on my 440? I’m also curious why it has 2 timing marks. The main ring is 7/8” thick. It’s obviously been around a while judging by the layers of paint…car was listed with a “steel” crank when purchased but...

Part number is 24900-03…so 3 psi? You would think it should be rated higher. When I get it back together I can crank it and watch the gauge and see when the fuel pump kicks on

Hey guys- I’m trying to go through and fix leaks and I thought I would double check the oil pressure gauge fittings at the back of the block. One port has a line to my mechanical oil pressure gauge and the other has a Y with a KYSOR pressurestat and the other is a sensor wired to the dash oil...

Howdy- Does anyone have a good source for ‘65 Coronet split bench seat covers? Seems hardtop/500 bucket seat covers are readily available but I cannot find any repro covers. I currently have cheapos over the original covers but want it more correct. Need a black set….thx in advance!
