doing some prelim distributor application.  A guy coming in tomoro to help me put in engine, so doing some pre planing, fitting,  in the attached picture, is the rotor pointing at number 1 or shoukd i re install back a notch or so so that it falls more to the right.    My hb is lined up on 0, and looks like 1 cylinder is at tdc.     So for when i get ready to insrall, shoukd the pointer be a little more clockwise, like ppointingover the first spring more?

I'd bump it back a notch.

Im running petronics so dntvuse points

Got it in!  By the. Hardest.  

Some items i found along the way.

The trans kickdown got bent , i guess during extraction.  Points more up than parrelel to body.  Dnt kno how it happened. But,  guessing i can bend dk downward and into a parrelel poistion to hook up to carb?

Second the pcv line runs up the valley pan, then curls bk toward front of carb.  I hv a picture of it, but it doesnt show if it attaches at front,  i cant seem to find an attachment point or does iy just sit under there open ended?

Got exhuat hooked bk up, radiator hoses tonight, intake, carb tomorow.  

Yes, thats it, when i was testvfitting, i didnt put on the spacer, and it does hv that connection,   thanks.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
