GERMYS 72. You did not state if your pedals are OEM or aftermarket, the brake light switch could cause grief, they are different from power to non power brakes, just know what brakes your donor had, weather it be OEM or aftermarket. The difference is in the height. of the attachment rod, which...

Mjseakan, Bring the arrow on the camshaft gear to 6 o clock. by doing this, it should put the keyway on the crankshaft gear very near 12 o clock. If you have 4 degree crankshaft gear that should put the crankshaft gear dot just to the left of the keyway (never heard of a blue dot on an OEM Ford...

I can see your pointer on the cam gear sitting at 12 o clock in the picture.

Mjseakan, With the crankshaft gear dot at 12 o clock put a mark on the cam gear at 6 o clock then rotate the engine 360 degrees until your mark is at 12 o clock, now look for a dot at 6 o clock on the cam gear. Boilermaster

Mark Jones, Could be starter heat soak, tight engine tolerances (still in break in mode} or a little too much timing. Since you did not state that there was any detonation ( probably } not too much timing, but the combination of things going on may be too much for the starter you have. If it...

Dirconmach1, I have the OTC 4573, slow and steady and Summit 906784. Please note that the summit 906784 is for 7/16'' studs and it could be used for pedestal mount if you had a 5/16'' to 7/16'' conversion stud such as crane cams sells or have someone with a lathe spin you up a stud. The summit...

pjs2pc, After watching the video it is a no brainer that you at least need primary accelerator pump tuning, however not knowing where true TDC is (and therefore curb idle speed) will have an effect again on the pump cam timing and clearance. you should be able to make it better without, just not...

pjs2pc, First the easy part. It looks like your distributor bushing is going to allow 10 degrees distributor and 20 degrees at the crankshaft mechanical advance. Does your distributor have vacuum advance as well?. If so where is it connected. ported or manifold? A look at your spark plugs...

pjs2pc, Just looked up your carb o the Holley web site, pri. jet 70, .028 pri. squirter 6.5 pv. sec. jet 80 and .031 sec. squirter. While I speak holley l prefer vacuum secondary's and don't know double pumpers very often. both the jetting and power valve seem fine to me as a starting point but...

pjs2pc, you state (cruising @ 2000 rpms} when you mash on the gas, are you in high gear ? and if so does the transmission downshift ? how does the engine perform in 1st and 2nd gears ? Boilermaster

p3js2pc, If you post a picture of your spark plugs, you might as well post one of your carb. list # from the choke air horn. Current jet sizes and accelerator pump nozzle size and pump cam color too please. Boilermaster

pjs2pc, Agree 100% with what has been recommended here so far. I would add, don't chase numbers on a timing curve unless you 100% know where TRUE TDC is, Ford balancers can and will slip as well as the pointer can be manipulated keep retarding timing until the detonation is gone (that will save...

I already have that $ 2 set aside for you !. Boilermaster

69 SR, This manifold will bolt up to either 4V or 2V heads. The ports are actually smaller than the 2V intake ports. This will not be a good manifold for a high revving 4V engine and not good for a high revving stroker, it may, however wake up a 2V engine in the lower rpm range, but honestly...

Aces, Even though they are two totally different animals $2 says you won't beat the dyno carb. Have you decided on what EFI you intend to run ? if Holley, do yourself a favor and check throttle blades for being uniform before install. Great numbers btw. Boilermaster
