That thing is bad ass cool, and I think your price doesnt cover half your cost. Wish I had an extra 25 grand laying around......Jim Kramer

I'll put in another vote for trying therapy. I crashed on my bicycle several years ago and hurt my back. With rest it got a little better for a while then got much worst. I finally asked my doctor what he would suggest and he said try therapy first and I did. I got a good therapist and we tried several things until we hit on the couple exercises that really targeted the problem. It took some work and time on my part but we finally got good results. I will have to work at it for the rest of my life but that pain at least is in remission.....Jim     

But if they were simply replacing retiring employees they wouldn't need such a massive increase in funding, unless they were going to increase everyone's salary by about one hundred present. This isn't good..........Jim Kramer

For the last 390 I built I was looking for a cam I liked and found something about right, but it was a hydraulic grind. I asked my machinist, ( who I was buying the cam through ) to call and ask if we could get that grind or something close on a solid lifter cam. The tech. guy, ( at Bullet I think ), said just buy the hydro cam and put solid lifters on it, and run the lash down to .003/.004, no problem. Thats what I did. I have about three thousand miles on it, no problem. I can't remember the grind number but it was a fairly mild cam.......Jim Kramer

Oh yah, you've got to run the basket or you woun't be able to see to back out of your garage for all the smoke. I think all the 427s at least 65 and newer ran these with no other PCVs anywhere else. No problems. I'm working on setting one up on my Mustang, ( home made ). I'm thinking it will do a better job than the one in the VC......Jim Kramer

Thanks guys thats what I am gonna do. I did bolt the thing together on the bench yesterday and once the levers were down in their proper position things did look better. All the levers seem to have a small angle to the grind, but they all look the same so I'm happy. Now to wait for spring to show up  .........Jim Kramer

It does look like the arm is askew, but it doesn't seem to be. Instead it looks like maybe it wasn't in the fixture properly when it was machined. Anyhow I drew a picture that hopefully will show it more clearly. The angle is exaggerated for clarity. Thanks......Jim Kramer

I am replacing a diaphragm type clutch with a long style. Upon the inspection of my new pressure plate I find a possible problem. It appears as though the machining of one of the lever tips, ( where the TO bearing rides ), is not accurate. It seems to be beveled. Hopefully  my attached pictures show this clearly. Its only one of the levers. How critical is this? Can I dress this down? If I do it will leave this lever a few thousandths lower than the others. How critical would that be? The car is a street driven 67 Mustang 450-500 hp. It would be nice to be able to button this back up without a lot of dinking around but I dont want to have to go through this again in a few hundred miles. Thanks......Jim Kramer
