    Holley Throttle Cable Linkage

    My cable continued to snap with-in the shief, usually at the worse imaginable times. I reworked the angle at the foot pedal fulcrum and the new cable snapped at about 2 hours of duty! Once again, re-engineered the pivot angle, but this time I replaced the inner cable with "air craft grade 1/16...

    Timing chain stretch?

    I have found that most brands of timing chains for a SBF have 6-10 degrees of play right out of the box, before even firing the engine. To verify, just bring the timing mark to TDC and roll the engine over by hand at the crank until the distributor rotor just starts to move. Then note the mark...

    Another newbie here...

    Larry; I live in the PNW area although on the North East side just North of Spokane. I have a CAV GT40 MK I with a Gulf style wide rear. It has the ZF Transaxle also. The car has plenty of room inside, more so than the SPF version that requires popping the steering wheel off to get your legs in...

    Chebby lifter noise....

    O.K. you guys. Its piston skirt noise, normal until it warms up and expands to a round form. There are numerous TSB's circulating on this since 1999. G.M. said they were going to fix it but then changed their minds due to costs. They also have a TSB about running 5-30w oil year round in the Gen...

    Getting her home. Transport recommendations

    Don't think cheap! You will regreat it. We contracted a shipper and waited 3 weeks and still no pick-up. After endless calls and then cancelation we found out they were just a broker, they had it posted, waiting for a hauler to pick up the bid they made, which was too low, so nobody wanted to do...

    oil type & viscosity for Roush 427 sb (351)

    Dave: My engine came through the Reno outlet; was absent of "any" papers. I did call with the engine # and they faxed me the run/spec sheet done at the time of the dyno but that has no oil info on it anywhere. The dealer/owner in Reno said 20/50 Valoline racing. But others I have talked with...

    oil type & viscosity for Roush 427 sb (351)

    What oil to run in a Roush 427 (351) small block? Roush dealer said Valvoline racing 20-50w; others say Valvoline racing 10-30w? I have noticed with the 10-30 the idle psi is about 5 lbs less. This is when street driving & engine temp is up to normal......? What are your comments?

    Why am I conservative??

    Canada looked good in the late 60's, but if it was that good, we would have made it another state! Do you think we all can fit into New Zealand? Well at least all of us except for the 52% who voted for you know who last time. At least they drive on the "correct" side of the road there!!! Give...
