Any hope of using a thread chaser to repair the threads? Loctite/Henkel make a thread repair kit. Reviews indicate a 50/50 chance of success. In the worst case use this. https://www.timesert.com/ Good luck. Chuck

Perhaps a bit, but not much. That was pretty much my reaction when I pulled the intake on my first Boss 302 in 1972. Chuck

I've use these products for about 15 year. They work well and if well coated and allowed to dry, it lasts a fairly long time. Chuck https://boeshield.com/products/

During the model year transition old stock got used until exhausted and new item were introduced, sometimes a new vendor was used to cover shortages of some parts. The only way to tell for sure, if the car has never been taken apart, is to ID the fasteners as they are removed and bagged and...

Do you feel like the premium price for the BendPal is worth it? All 4 are very nice cars but, the blue one does it for me. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Chuck

I wanted the kick down function on the Mach1. I used Holley PN 20-49-1, Throttle Shaft Kit (now out of production) I found on ePay. The kit comes with the kick down screw, retainer, return spring, bracket, and screw. It is a relatively straight forward swap. The only part that can be tricky is...

It was. Chuck

My thanks to everyone for posting a response. Chuck

Thanks for reporting what the problem was. It may help someone in the future. Chuck

I think someone was having at your expense. Chuck

At a minimum invest in a bore gauge. For me, a block that is already +.030 is a no go. Obviously, I look for standard bore blocks with no visible damage in the bores. Good luck with the hunt. Chuck

Asking for input on good 8000 lbs. 4 post lifts for hobbyist use and storage. There seems to be a lot of different names on what seems to be pretty much the same lift. The prices seem to vary a lot more than the construction or features and accessories. I have a Direct Lift but I've had it 12...

As others have said, change the cam and, if needed, the gear. The extra 200 pounds on the wrong end of the car will not be helpful. That is just my opinion. It is your car so do what you want. Either way, good luck. Chuck

I don't think that Boss 302 is getting fixed. Sad to see indeed. Chuck

Looks great! However, I have to ask why titanium? Chuck

Perhaps an alternate solution. Chuck https://www.gearvendors.com/product/automatic-3-speed-c-6-14-tailhousing/

If the bearing clearances are indeed too loose for your application, sufficient volume is a bigger concern that the pressure. However the pressure readings you stated would still be of significant concern, especially since you are using solid roller lifters on the street. Given their age, they...

If it was working fine, I'd just re-seal it. Typical leak location is the thin gasket, and thin nut, on the high pressure side that seal the pump to the reservoir. Chuck

Thanks to everyone who replied and Cleveland for taking the time to measure his run out. It sounds like I have it as good as it is going to get, I still have a few things to try. I will look into getting a better "chuck". Chuck

Has anyone here measured your drill press run out? If so, what number did you measure? I need to drill some very small (.025-.090) holes in brass set screws. So the run out really matters. Mine is currently measuring .0035". All responses are appreciated. Chuck
