I am doing a minor refresh of my stock 67 GT motor.  Back in the 80's with the rebuild I had a machinist make some restrictors to slide in the oil galley just below the oil passage for the pedastal that oils the rocker shaft.  When I dissasembled the head to get the guides redone this past week one of the restrictors was present and the other was not.  I personally did not do the rebuild back in the 80's so I am assuming my assembler did not include one of the restrictors.  The restricted shaft seems to be fine.  My question is:

Should I have another restrictor made to match the existing one and place it in the head or should I just leave them out?

In general this is a fairly stock motor with a very mild cam increase and headers.  Feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you all for the continued feedback.  I can definitly say I have received a warm welcome from the group and very informative feedback.  John the pictures are great.  I can see my membership here will be fruitfull, potentially expensive with everyones great ideas, but fruitfull.  It will definitly be baby steps for the short term.  My oldest will be going off to college this year so the car account will see fewer deposits.  My goal was to have the 72 done by the 50th and before my daughter went off to school.  The Mrs. gave me some slack to meet that goal, but the rope is short now that tuition bills will be comng in.  Maybe, just maybe I can celebrate here graduation in 4'ish years with a 5 speed.  Thank you again everyone.

Thank you all for the feedback and I welcome more.  I failed to mention earlier that I do have a Pertronix Ingnitor II in it now.  I may need to reconsider to the 3:50 gearing, but this car will spend most of its time on the road with some long road trips sprinkled in.  With the 3:00 I was getting about 12 miles to the galloon for the 1300 mile round trip to Charlotte in April.  Point noted on the Performer vs Perf RPM.  If my only gain would be weight I will probably hold off and save for the RPM.  I will focus my search on a 700 to 750 carb.  I would REALLY like to go with an EFI system, but unless I win the lottery that aint happenin.

New to the site as of yesterday, but I have been reading and searching many posts over the last week.  Here is a little background for information on my project hoping that I can receive some feedback from the members.  I have a stock 67 GT Mustang S code 4 spd that I conservativly restored back to stock in 2006.  Over the past 5 years I have been completing a concourse restoration of my 72 Mach 1, the first car I have owned since I turned 15 (30'ish years ago).  Now I am turning my attention back to the 67 to add some mild performance enhancements to the drivetrain.  I would like to stay with the ability to restore it back to its original configuration if I choose to in the future, so I do not plan on any dramatic changes.

The car currently has the stock cam on a refresh of the motor (.010 rods/mains, .030 on the cylinders, hardened seats 3 angle on stock heads).  In searching the forum I beleive I will go with the Comp 268H Grind (218 I / 218 E @ .050, Adv Dur 268 I / 268 E, .494 lift, 110 seperation).  This is a power brake car and will rarely if ever see a strip.  I am running an open 9" 3:00 gearing, but considering bumping it up to 3:25 traction lock. 

My deliberation and quest for feedback is in the headers.  Price is a concern as most of the money tree was picked bare with the restoration of the 72.  I do want to go with ceramic coating as I live in the sticky south and any relief that can be had from heat is welcomed.  I am exploring the FPA Tri Y's and the Doug's 626 long tube headers. The FPA's are at least 3 weeks out in backorder and about $250 more than the Doug's.  The Doug's are available now.  Again, this will be a street application and I would like to upgrade to a rack and pinion in the future.  Any feedback from the forum membership would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you,
Brian
