It sounds like you are a veteran. The OP of this thread, may be not.

I have seen stock low performance fuel pumps put out over 12# of pressure. Check the line pressure at the carbs with a t and a fuel pressure gauge. Thanks for letting us know it's a 6 pack set up. (at least we think it is) If it hs Holleys, a backfire could cause a blown power valve and a rich...

Check every hose, line, and connection for leaks. Then check your fuel pressure. Much more than 5# can cause eye burning richness and bleed over.

Start a parts wanted thread here. One on FABO would be a good idea as well.

Back in the late 70's I had 2 73's One was F8 and one was B1. Both were 340 automatic cars. I found the blue one a few years ago but it was badly rusted everywhere. Too much for me to resurrect.

Anything you see that doesn't look right, hit the "report" button. Report is on every post and Personal message. The staff can handle it from there.

Interesting you ask. The fellow I talked to said he didn't know himself. I would imagine they were transitioning to the Magnum Style which had all pushrod oiling. Those were transition years going from the standard LA to the roller cam block, used in some models but not in all. Carburetor to the...

"That combo is “partially” pushrod oiled. The rockers have no oil holes in the pushrod cup, so the oil coming up the pushrod only lubes the pushrod & rocker interface. The rest of the lube requirements for the head are still handled the traditional way." From an engine builder on another site...

That's a cool story. Oh, those were the days!

Not until the Magnum. If the engine came with rocker shafts, they oiled through the deck and heads and not the pushrods.

I stumbled upon this one when I was organizing my photo files. This was 1st. Avenue Chrysler Plymouth in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They sold a ton of AAR's. What color did you want?

We talk a lot about this over at FABO. Here's a link to a good discussion thread. Stock rocker shaft oil hole orientation

Yes. The rocker shafts oiled with a passage through the deck surface up through the heads.

X2 for Espo.

Small blocks used steel shim gaskets with heat shields for the plug wires on the driver's side.

I should sit down with Jeff Bobst and a case of beer and record the stories. He built the cars. He lives just 20 min north of me.

Paying through Pay Pal and using F&F and having no insurance is one thing. THe bottom line here is that he got taken by a scammer that could have been prevented if he had paid attention to the warning signs and just reported the issue. Like I have said on the warning posts, If you see something...

THanks!

THat's a great chart. What site did that come from? I would like to share it on other sites.
