I drive an f250 towing a boat with an olds and on weekends cruise the town in a 72 chevelle. Hmmm
But I stuck my wife in a toyota highlander...... I'm not to partial to any brand, If it runs and does what it's suppose to do with minimal problems I'm ok with that.

I wanted to stuff a c/6 460 combo in my Chevelle and after seeing the amount of work needed, not to mention beating the trans hump to fit the c6 I decided to but my current th400 468 combo and I don't regret it one bit

« on: January 24, 2014, 06:01:52 AM »its hot....like give you blisters on your ass hot. its no joke.
I take my race boat (flat black) to the river every once n awhile. forget standing on it. forget even sitting on it. it will radiate heat through your shorts like a stove burner.
and yes, its very porous....it sucks up any oil and stains very easily. Also it scratches very easily.
I know this above statement because one day the cover blew off the boat. The Ex's dog clawed its way up onto it....walked around in the bildge (which had oil in it) and then tracked it all over the bow. ruined it.
I'll never paint another boat this color. yes, it looks cool, but its no practical in any sense.
Off topic but have you tried comet or the mr clean magic erasers? Seems to be the trick most of my friends have for keeping there rods clean.

Time to get back on this thing so it's ready for next month. Placed an order for some seals and gaskets earlier. Went and grabbed this out of storage and thank god the last person that painted this thing did a hack job, all the paint pretty much flaked off. Time for some sanding and polishing. Still need to get a droop and another wedge.

The whole seafood theory, well I don't do sea food so no thanks. Fish sticks and tater tots with the kids is as far as I go lol and that may not even be fish.
But as far as sun screen it's banana boat for infants. Simply because we always have it because of the baby and my older daughter has sensitive skin and that's the only one that works for her as well so I'm not gonna stock up on 4 different kinds of sun screen. But I also keep a huge sombrero in the boat and one in my garage and they generally are used often with a long sleeve. Skin Cancer runs in my family, pretty sure because everyone in my family is in construction and in the sun all day and pretty much everything now causes cancer so I'm kinda careful when out in the sun.

Motor specs as now are a 302 Mexico block, 289 heads, comp cams high energy cam, wieand dual pane high rise, shorty headers, and a demon vac secondary 625 or 650. Don't remember. But it's an older one with out the idle ease adjustment. And the bottom end wasn't touched and has about 135-140psi in every hole.
Right now main jets were 68 and secondary were 78.

You know I never thought about the main jets and reeky idle.....duh. But the pv is new. He just went through the carb and haven't got any back fires out the carb since the rebuild. But he did go from a flat cam to a new one which is larger.

Why is the timing locked?
-Because if you don't tighten the bolt after setting timing all sorts of funny shit happens the first time you flat foot the go pedal
A good small block Ford number should be in the low 30's as far as WOT timing (my opinion)
-I'll keep that in mind
Any chance you have a camshaft going rumple flatskie?
-Hope not it, it's a brand new cam. Gonna have to pull the lave covers and check.
You could totally have a lean pop/sputter, I would step it up three or four jet sizes to ensure you can get it to fatten up. After checking for a horrendous vacuum leak of course..
-funny part is he dropped 2 jet sizes because the car reeked at idle and we have already checked for leaks and none were found

They were brand new plugs an the wires were seasoned for a few months prior to pulling. But the only reason for turning the timing down was to keep the heat out of it so he could drive home. Whats a good number for a 302 with 289 heads and a decent cam. And the sputter well I'm pretty sure it's because it's lean.

« on: January 21, 2014, 09:43:48 PM »If the motor has good rings, I am going to say sucked intake gasket and burning some oil....
Just a stupid armchair guess using what limited information there was...
Had 30% blow by in every hole prior to re fireing the motor after it sat for two years. Pulled it out of my friends mustang to paint replace the cam/lifters 2 years ago. Slapped it back together and dropped it back in about 6 months ago but just getting back to working on it.
So the intake gasket could be plausible. He just came by and we pulled the plugs to check jetting and noticed that. So I dropped timing to 6 deg 21 locked and sent him home because he forgot his jet kit. But it ran 100 better with no bogging on the way home.

« on: January 21, 2014, 09:38:06 PM »Just one plug?
Yes
All of them?
Read lean, hyper white
How did it run?
Maybe 100 miles of city streets a wot up my street, pulled in the drive way and killed it.
What gas?
Shell brand 91
Did it burn oil?
It's a ford......it always burns oil.
How much did it idle?
...long enough to lock the brakes and roll into the driveway almost adding another double door to the garage.
Talked to you rooster...
