I'd imagine the most stress on it is when the starter is engaged. don't see a problem with it slipping, especially with a roller cam. I like it the way it is, easy to adj. no buttons, keys, eccentrics. KISS.

the rings also TRW were in a separate box, but the pistons were all together in the original box dated 1983. I have a 64 390 block that should clean up at .030 with C3AE-C rods. I may have a set of C7 rods somewhere though. is there a rod diff. that they are listed as 66 & up or is it more to do with comp. ratio or head  cc? the wrist pin location & size & ring groves are exactly the same as the orig. 64 390 piston. If it were a 360 piston I would imagine the pin would be farther down. the 64 pistons have valve reliefs & are dished in the center, these are flat tops with reliefs. I was thinking of just building a mild fresh motor for the 62 in case my 352 goes south. Maybe the voice in my head is one of Barry's 445s are calling to me.

is that track still uphill? I used to race there in the 70's & it was a bitch to stay staged in the left lane without  rolling back & red lighting.

had a condenser do that on a 289, swore it was a fuel problem.

forgot about that one . I used that method on pool cues. work excellent.

If I didn't have so much shit, I'd move in a heartbeat, Penisylvania is getting me down. Had the itch to wrench, so I thought I'd pull the exhaust manifolds off a pair of old fe heads. No matter how hot or how long I soak them, I still manage to break the top bolts off. I don't know why I just didn't give them to my brother inlaw, He is a true artist at removing  rusty & broken bolts & studs. Now where did I put that tap & die set...............

maybe pull the carb & run a magnet around inside the ports just to make sure nothing fell into it. nothing makes pieces quicker than  a screw from the carb or from some joker dropping something in just for kicks.

guys are such dicks. great video. She is Steve McQueen cool.
