So what did you get the weight down to on your car?

Screw the kitchen keep the car.

Thanks. I know they closed up that's why I thought there might be someone else out here. I know there's lots of good shops out there but if they give your stuff to a new kid and it turns out like crap then it's the customs problem, mine yours. And I seem to be the guy a lot. Wish I could find...

All good advice. Check the spark first but not if you smell fuel! If you smell fuel do as said above and hold the gas pedal about halfway down and crank for a little while and see if she wants to fire up.

Also glad you found the problem. I have 0 experience with the gen3 stuff also.

Where did you go to in Detroit?

I was referring to the post about spending 6k in the early 70's on a rebuild. I know costs are up when they wanted my first born for a dozen of eggs.

Does anyone have the address?

I've got one of those.

In the winter of 74 had my Hemi done. $1,200.00 Total parts, machine work and labor. And this included all new valves as mine were worn. At 6 grand I hope they gave you a bottle and a hooker. ps not headers.

If you are opening the valves something isn't right. Are you sure you're on the base circle for that cylinder? If not that you just may have them too tight.

Your lifters are probably collapsed. Prime the engine and turn it by hand (have a friend help) to get them to pump up then adjust them. Personally I zero lash them just give them a thou or two. But do it how you like them.

My 69 Hemi RR with Auto, Dana 60 with the bucket seat option weighted 3980 with a 1/4 tank of fuel without me.

Don't know but my wife can.
