From your description you have a bad master cylinder. Lack of brake pressure will only be two things - air is trapped somewhere or the master is not making the brake pressure.

I purchased mine around 2 or 3 years ago (not quite sure) - not long after Tony released them. Yes the same as Vans Auto. Vans Auto evidently purchased the reproduction part of Tony's business. They are worth buying. I purchased a set off Classic Industries that I on-sold and the Tony's set is...

Not sure about Roseville. I bought the Tonys Parts ones and they are very good. He offers both spacings of mounting screws also.

You could have the wrong pump for that engine.

Check and clean the grounds points and inspect the cables themselves. Most engines have 2 grounding points.

That did used to be the spec for road car oil filters. If 21 is all you can get it should be OK. Realistically if something is wrong and you get metal flakes the oil filter does not save the motor. Just use what you can get.

The play is not normal. Judging by your pic something is off centre as well.

Never heard of one. You will probably have to get one made how you want it. The E body shifter handle seems quite short.

You could try a mild acid solution for an hour or two. I stick the screws or bolts I want to paint in to a carboard box to stand them up until they dry.

Sorry I don't know anything about the 2 speed. It may pay to start another thread?

That is a 2 speed motor - this thread has been all about 3 speed motors.

If you have a heater you could tap in to the hot water "out" of the engine. Those sensors work better if they are in water flow - not a dead end. A dead end can trap an air bubble and the sensor may not work very well.

No expert - they look like 273 rockers.

For what it's worth I do all valve lash adjustments, leak down tests etc COLD were possible. I got tired of burning the crap out of myself.

I am quite sure about my calculated figures for your intake valve closing point. I have used Wallace Racing calculators and they are good - but I have your static/dynamic numbers at a bit higher. However this difference will not matter to most folks. If your engine runs well and makes reasonable...
