Very similar to my cam. I have AFR 185's



Did your cam go with the 302 ho/351 firing order, or the 289/302 firing order?

Can't wait to see your results!!

Lou

Thanks ,I would call it dodging this project. This new painter guy actually painted the cowl ''when'' he said he would :shock: . I just wasn't expecting that. :shock: so it's been ready since oct.. I wanted to get all this funky under dash labor done first but it got down to me needing to know wher...

Cool beans!! Glad you got it running better, and of course the "ice cream".

Lou

Some things I would try. 1) make sure accel pump is squirting as soon as throttle lever is moved, is it a strong squirt? 2) do a compression test, pull all 8 plugs and block throttle open for the compression test. 3) check for play in timing gear/chain, remove dist cap, take breaker bar turn balance...

Jim, Here is a picture of my carb it has a lever on the accelerator pump that comes in contact with the pump. So I don't think the added cap will work?? Not a great picture: https://i.postimg.cc/yxVvkZ9b/IMG-20240329-203422155-HDR-2.jpg You can get the same result by bending the small rod that runs...

Pretty cool Fred!

Can't wait to see your vision of yard art

Guessing you don't have a HOA, LOL

Lou

Hey Pops, glad to hear that you're healthy and enjoying life! That is GREAT!
Jeep's are a blast, had one when I was younger,

Finally getting started. Plan is to get the body stripped down and cleaned up first, of course. Like my last project, I'll stitch all the body seams just in case and replace the floor. At that point, I'll probably go to a rotisserie for the rest of the rust repair. Biggest surprise thus far is the ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jim!! (Jims65cyclone)

Have a GREAT Day!!

Lou

Much appreciated! Could you have mounted that to the firewall or were there no ideal spots for that unit? I’ve seen some guys put it in the glove box simply for ease of access. I think I’d like to keep my glove box functional and put secure that under the dash or firewall, if possible. I have used ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone !!

Lou

This is an aside, but what was the purpose of the non-symmetrical placement of the blades on those fans? Seems like it would throw the balance out of whack.

Jim

For noise. The different gaps help keep fan noise down.

Lou

When i mocked if up the the other day with the suspension pretty much neutral the bar was within 1/8” of the strut rod. Itjust seems wrong. If the bar was in upside down I am pretty sure it would interfere with the sub frame. The angle looks wrong, should be parallel to the strut rod? Are you sure ...

That’s a nice one Lou. Other than looks I wonder what the difference is between Derales “Heavy Duty” and their “high Performance” fans? Joe From their site the heavy duty pulls more air at low speeds and 10,000rpm limit. The high performance is for limited space and rated for 8,000 rpm. My buddy st...
