Wait a sec - I was told there would be no math.

Missed it I guess. MO = My Opinion. Good luck on your project sounds like you are moving ahead.

I’m not following where you are going as you don’t give any indication of having made the checks suggested earlier. You can look up what it involves to do the seats and such, and it wouldn’t require a ‘new’ engine. If the block or heads aren’t cracked or heads warped (such as from severe...

How much run time does your motor get? Does it get run for a good amount of time or mostly stop and go driving? Does it sit for extended periods of time? I’m sure it was posted, does the white smoke have an odor to it? Coolant leaks will give off a sweet odor. Hold the palm of your hand about an...

Old saying - 'misery loves company' and you're in a lot of it. You reminded me of the long encounter with my brake conversion among a few other things. Lol, be aware there will be another project to be done that'll be a bee-itch.

With the choke connected, open and close it to make sure it has full travel - no binding or sticking linkage

Another possibility is engine timing. Carbs new or rebuilt? Ok, simple stuff ya may know; just tossing this out.

Lol, yeah kind of a risky word. I could imagine coming up to a gal at a bar introducing myself as an **** guy...the response could be quite negative or possibly positive...nothing in btw..

I had one I sold about 2 years ago for $300.

Lol, I have a good buddy from HS, we’ve helped each other on numerous projects car resto’s and all sorts of other stuff. But, we can be like oil & water working together. He likes to do stuff sometimes as if he’s being paid on piecework and I’m the opposite. I’m guilty of being too ****...

Thanks much for asking. This project is on hold for now with other home renovation projects I’m working on and winter weather. Well, I have a heated 3-car garage; but loaded tight with three vehicles, mower, blower, and way too much crap I should toss. Been planning on adding another garage...

Doesn't look like it if you were replying to the one above.

Thanks much again Ed. You've advised on some good homework, lol. I'll plan to give you a call to talk about the distributor anyway to hear what you have in mind. Warranty? It was 30 days. I've already had to do some work on the motor.

Did some porting eons ago on another engine. Of course what I could do with a grinder vs a shop is apples & oranges…but gain ‘some’ improvement. Well, this was a pricy build on the poly by a reputable mopar shop, pert near 6 grand. We had a falling out so to speak, longer story; but I’m the...

Shop that re-machined the motor did a 5-angle valve job, but doubt porting was done. It's been a couple years and can't recollect any discussion on it and my invoice doesn't make any mention of it. I was planning to remove the intake (prompting my question about the possibility of other...

Thanks 66 Sat - you have a better memory of my whining than I do, lol. Not yet tackled the dist - btw my wife and daughters projects pop up and than the other fix-it stuff. I'll try to stop bitchin until I DO work on the dist.

Good to know Ed. Appreciate your info. I know I've moaned about this before, lol more than once...my expectations weren't met with the complete rebuild, most notably the undetectable difference low end pre & post build. Simply could be the poly needs more done to it than was done...and...

Motor shows Oct '64 so not original. I bought this car in '94 and didn't realize the motor had been bored .30 with hardened seats installed around 1980. Well, it was a CA car. Engine was bored another .30, 650 Eddy carb, cam 262 dur/450 lift, solid lifters, headers, X, 3’’, hi po fuel...

Thanks gents for your feedback...I sold my old factory dual quad manifold about a year ago thinking I didn't need the extra hassles having it for my needs. Go figure they put those on at the factory in the late 50s'.

Going to be removing the intake from my motor as it’s looking crappy with peeling paint and the lipstick trick isn’t cutting it anymore. This is on a poly, old stock 4bbl manifold. The motor has been hepped up some with a .60 bore, mild cam, solid lifters, headers, Eddy carb, etc. Got to...
