    Need help picking cam for 440

    Quick way to check bore wear, which is always worst near the top of the bore. Remove a compression ring from a piston & place it in the bore 3/8-1/2" down from the ridge at the top of the bore; make sure it is square in the bore. Measure & note the ring gap with feeler gauges. Repeat the...

    Need help picking cam for 440

    If you go to a sol FT cam, you need to increase duration of the sol to match the performance/rpm range of the hyd cam. This is a rough guide: increase the duration 8-15* @ 050. If it is a tight lash sol cam, increase by 8*; if it is large lash, like some of the MP cams with 028 lash, increase...

    Need help picking cam for 440

    Read the warning below from the Sig Erson cam catalog. Sig is no longer with us but he was waaaay ahead of the curve....... It is about excessive cam duration with a 440 & a TF.

    Rebuilding 906 heads, run them or sell them?

    You do not have to switch cams for a stroker. It depends on what you want from the engine, max rpm etc. With the stroker, keeping the current cam, peak HP rpm will be lower but may still fit your goal.

    Mancini LCA pivot shaft problems

    If you are not going to use the Mancini part, cut off the shaft sticking out of the bush. To save the bushing, find a washer or collar that fits over the shaft & press out the shaft from the reverse side. Use some grease when fitting new bushings.

    To tattoo or not to tattoo?

    I do not know why anybody would deface their body with tattoos, rings in lips, tongues nostrils etc. Tattoos were originally for sailors, so that they could recognise fellow sailors in foreign ports.

    Outrageous Shipping Quote

    Buying parts for American cars for those outside the US costs a fortune in shipping. It is part of the cost of the hobby. When people complain to me about the cost, I suggest they find a cheaper hobby, like bird watching.....

    Idle issues

    You need to find the cause of the whistle. There can be two causes, one of which is harmless. External to the carb & internal [ inside the carb ]. This sounds more like it is coming from inside the carb & some carbs/combinations get a whistle at certain rpms [ harmless ]. The reason the whistle...
