Batteries have several different failure modes, so these urban myth "fixes" will work sometimes and not others. My last battery that failed was not that old, and went from fully charged and cranking fine, to unable to supply enough current to power the interior light (like an hour later) -...

Cam can be degreed with valvetrain in place. Dial indicator must measure travel of lifter body - not the plunger or rocker arm (with a hydraulic lifter anyway).

Something is seriously awry. Did you install them? Are they installed the right way around? Did you install 1 or 2 offset bushings in each upper arm?

That's a low blow.... ;-)

I ran that cam in a true 11:1 413 with stock iron heads and I had to limit the timing to hold off ping. Perhaps with aluminium heads you'd get away with it... great street cam, just wish I'd tightened lash to quieten it down.

Incorrect. B and RB engines both had factory cast iron dual inline quads avail. i.e. 343 h.p. 383 and 385 h.p. 413 in 1962. Lovely example in post #3 of this thread!

I do love the '61 Dodge/Plymouth roofline!

Connecting electric choke to coil side of ballast is insane. More load through ballast resistor = less voltage on coil = less spark.

The 1986 - 1988 TV Show "Crime Story" starring Dennis Farina was set in early 60's Chicago and Vegas and featured awesome cars. Great show too! I love your '61 Plymouth. Please keep posting progress!

Taking the time to share your wisdom with fbbo is so much appreciated, thanks Doug!

Would it not be just a mirror image?!

Sorry for the thread necro, but I feel like I should throw in my 2C worth. Increasing axle end float adjustment will serve to increase how out of centre the drum to shoe relationship is, making the bottom of brake shoes drag on the drum....

Sweet looking '62!!!!

No issues, factory standard, tried, true and trusted.

This is a marathon, not a sprint race. Well done on getting going again, you are doing great work!

I aint a snowflake, but deriding somebody based on where he lives is pretty ****. I feel sorry for the OP coming and asking for some advice and it devolves into a chest beating ego debate. Embarrassing and pathetic.

You absolutely will need sealant on the ends. I always threw the gaskets out and just filled it with good silicone sealant.

Hence why I built my own relay/timer system to run pump 15 sec on key on (I have 2 AFBs to fill) and to to turn pump off on oil pressure loss. I never considered an in-tank pump, perhaps I should have. I thought it was more for EFI. Just so glad vapor lock issue was sorted as my car was at...

Really?! The Wix filter will return to tank (through an in-built restriction) what ever is at the top of the filter, be it liquid fuel, or if fuel vapours are present (that will float above the liquid fuel), then vapours... Hope it solved any issues you had cudak888. It solved all my vapor...

LOL!
