Great throttle response and easy to tune. Totally stock engine.

Yes the spring hooks into the hole in the rod.

650

Carquest brand (Advance Auto) brake cleaner also works well for a reasonable price. I prefer the flammable over the Non.

Here's one with the 4429

Neg cable end, as well as return spring bracket and intake surface were bare metal prior to painting engine to provide good ground and gets sandwiched between the two. AVS2 is only used for cruising/local shows, but the original restored 4429S is basically identical.

I'll try to post some later today

I'm going to say yes.

I'm guessing the valve guides themselves could be worn. Btw, your car is one of my all-time favorites whenever I go to Carlisle. Love the color.

3k miles on both Comp cam & lifters and no problems so far.

The 518 is a small block bellhousing but there are adapter kits to use with big blocks but are very pricey.

Might be the low/reverse servo apply arm shaft that has the o-ring.

'71 V8 727's had the ptk.

Try to find a spring with a minimal amount of tension at rest. Also, there should be a washer between the clip on the throttle pin and slotted kickdown arm, and the throttle return spring should be hooked on the pin inside the U shaped end of the throttle cable. Proper throttle pressure...

If we can see how your kickdown is currently set up at the carb we can have a better idea how to diagnose and go from there.

Can you post a pic of the driver's side of the carb showing the kickdown arm.

Mine is the same way. Oh, and the car too. :)

This is the key part that you stated. Once the pump is spinning and circulating fluid through the circuits you are at the proper level. Under no pressure gravity takes over. Edit: I always start and warm up the car in neutral.

I contacted Melling a few years ago, and they told me that the standard pump was made to have a standard pressure of about 45-50 psi. Luckily with the big blocks that can easily be changed with the external spring replacement or shimming.

This is for big blocks, but shows it as being a high volume/standard pressure.
