Thank you - See response on a PM!

I think it was priced at 120K. Perhaps I should have said that I really like AAR Cudas, so it was a favorite as far as models of cars. I have zero interest in paying 120K for that one. Matt, it was great to meet you, even if just for one day. Thanks for joining us!

It is buried in here HawkRod is doing the 2023 Hot Rod Power Tour! OK, so a bit more on what we did dyno tuning for those that care. First, I will start with my conclusion: In my case, my engine is limited by its ability to take in air/fuel as well as it's ability to get it back out. Any...

I stood on a rock so I could feel like a big man around town! :luvplace: After visiting Fallingwater (pictures posted on previous page), we drove to our hotel on some really nice roads. We stopped at a covered bridge. On our final day we drove TONS of small roads and took the long way to get...

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I'm telling you, lawyers protecting idiots are going to ruin the world! Nice to see you working away at your car. You are doing great - learning and improving on the car as you go along. Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

We stopped at Fallingwater and checked it out. Nice place! Here is the crew that drove today: Driving towards our hotel: We also stopped at a nice covered bridge Tomorrow we head towards the Classic Auto Mall

Coming later. For now: Road Runners in the wild!

So let me first say the dyno run was a huge success. My car gained about 35 horsepower from when it came in, and I have already felt how the drivability has improved. Dyno tuning your car is an exercise that is well worth it. Most of us spend 1000s of dollars on our cars, but then don't want to...

We had a beautiful drive this morning. As we got close to Warren, however, the skies opened up and we got heavy rain. Well, I'm glad I didn't polish my car too much before I left! The Packard museum was small but nice. Tomorrow is the meeting with the "dream crusher" dyno! We'll see...

Driving some nice roads this morning!

Had a great day meeting up with folks and driving Watkins Glen - thanks for all who came!

Great progress! I hope I don't need to borrow your trans table after the dyno session! :lol:

Well, the 'ol girl as ready as she'll be for the trip. I didn't get the A/C valve installed so the A/C is still down, but everything else checks out OK. Heck, I didn't even wash the winter dust, dirt (and even some rain) off of the car since I'll almost certainly be driving in the rain tomorrow...

I'm sure you'll have it purring like a kitten! I hope the JB weld repair holds...

Welcome from PA!

I have a factory Air Grabber and HOW DARE YOU!!! :mob: :lol: Seriously, nicely done and made to work! Impressive what a little ingenuity can do! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the wakeup Doug. I wasn't thinking right in my earlier post. We use the viton material for the valve seals, not Teflon. If I remember right, I think Teflon makes the stems too dry? Anyway, use the viton seals, much better than umbrella seals.

I would use the teflon seals - much better. Are you sure they are 3/8 and not 5/16? Did you lube the seal a little bit to test? (They should have break in fluid on the seals and in the guides when installing them) If the valve stem/seal is lubed up the stem usually moves pretty easily. As far...

Sounds like a great suggestion - thanks! :thumbsup: Join us if you'd like!

Ed: His first statement is: "I just noticed this and can't tell from the service manual pics" :lol:
