Re: Distributor gear fail Put a timing light to it.

Dist gear roll pin sheared was the first thing that popped into my head.

Since your idle screws are 1 1/4 out or so. Try cranking them all in a 1/2 a turn or more. See if that changes the vibration around. Did any of the carbs need more or less ( Big difference ) air than the others. What distributor do you have. MSD pickups get filthy. Whats your initial and...

He was not banned. He was given a 5 point infraction for violating forum rules.

Are you running anykind of filter screens right now?

Deffinately have to rejet the carbs with the layer of foam. I would guess two sizes or maybe more. Someone could use the gromets for mesh or whatever. The screen size I have is the 2.75 inch ones.

9 screens, I had eight and one flew off after a back fire. So I had to buy two more. As you can see I safety wired them in pairs. Saves from losing another one. I had to take out the foam to get my carbs right, foam still included. Then I just bought air filters instead...

I ended up putting air filters on my cobra's motor. I have 9 Redline screens ( Rubber seal/Foam/screen ) for sale if anyone wants them. They were on my 48 IDF's. $80 Shipped to lower 48.

Im all for burnouts, sand or asphalt. The only time I ever cringe is watching those drag boats flip over and the motor is gone. I don't think Ive ever seen a wrecker boat pulling up a motor from Ole' Davey Jones Locker.

OMG, I keep pinching myself on this one. "The police won't act" I would have only called them if he came back. :)

Those look great John. I have an extra set of stock covers like those, if anyone wants to pay shipping for them.

The heads look like they have three bars on them = GT-40 Irons. Which would be Fox Mustang/Lightning/Early Exploder heads.

Congrat's on the early Christmas ! I just use what works. Ford Duraspark and the Mallory 6AL. Just make sure you use the right gear. MSD and and such are easier to dial in. ( Have to spot weld the Duraspark to get the total timing right.) Not a big deal. Seems lately people have run into...

(Again this is a my cobra J pipe.) But gives you an idea. The "nipple" is welded into the J pipe about 3/4 inside. The end of the nipple has a 45 degree cut on the end. So the open potion of the nipple faces toward the direction the exhaust is going. When the gases go around the end of the...
