Re: Lack of power questions
Alright I'm back at it...so my valve clearances were bad, really bad, 6 of the 8 were around .004.. so the question is ...is it possible to pull the cam replace the lifters in the car ? Or do I need to remove the pan and flip the motor upside down to install adjustable lifters ?

Re: Lack of power questions
Thanks for the replies...I did file the ends of the valves to get .010 clearance...didn't do anything to mess up the timing..the motor starts rather easily...when installed new valves I just cleaned up the seats, and dropped the valves in and gave them a good whack with a hammer..was that a bad idea...

My in...

Re: What is this ??
Okay. It's a rainy day here in PA. It's time to bolt the transmission to the crankshaft. There is nothing unsafe about using lock washers there correct?

Re: Turn Signals vs. Hand Signals
So... is it ok to use your passenger to signal right turn with their right arm? Or should you use your left arm the textbook way ?? People might think you are deflecting air into the cab when signaling left turn...when I am by myself I usually signal right turn with my right arm, even in my fordor.....
