I went to 3 parts stores. 1 said they don't make it anymore. 1 gave me Dayco#70592 which doesn't fit and the other said Gates part number is C70592 which looked like the wrong part# so I didn't order it. The only help I found was this picture in another forum with someone that put a 440 in...

Wow, you're going all the way. Cool. I did mine the amateur backyard mechanic way fixing stuff without tearing it down.... and on a shoestring budget. I got it on Ebay with winning bid of $1000 in 2003. A few things still aren't perfect and I'm kind of still working on it, oh well. Keep...

I didn't realize I'd get so many good posts. Thanks for all the help. I'll post the difference once I get into it. I took a quick pic. I'll clean them as you guys said but I don't think it looks too bad for 54yrs old. Doesn't Halogen consume much more power? I'm not sure my 54 year old...

As some of you know, bought my Hurst for $1000 in 2003 sitting over 10yrs in a junkyard and have been slowly restoring it ever since. Front headlights don't look too dim looking at them, but if I'm on a street without street lights, then its difficult to see the road. When I turn on the...

Thanks Cbody67. Whoops....I was in racing engine mode. Old stock engine VE commonly top out at 80%, so the most air that 318 can swallow at 6000rpm is 442CFM. Thanks for catching that. Doesn't going too big on a stock engine require extensive tuning with zero or little benefit?....Rich idle...

Thanks man for the info. I didn't know some of that stuff. Hey! A new research worldwide just concluded. All men, All healthy, most around 30yrs of age. They're checking much larger groups of men later this year. They found: China - All 40 participants had tiny plastic particles in their...

A stock 318 poly max safe RPM is 6000, correct? According to the CFM formula, the most air it can swallow is 552CFM. Add 10% for to cover any carb marketing BS and its 607cfm. Add a little more for those crazy times you go above 6000 rpm and I'd say a 650 would be perfect...Who's with me!

I just wanted a carb that I could set, forget, and run great forever. After playing with Holleys, Carters, Edlebrocks on previous cars, I went with a Thermoquad, rebuilt by Demonsizzler. This was 20 yrs ago. Sure that first year was a pain to dial it in and I had to modify linkage to install...

I don't get it. If you want to go faster, buy a new Kia. Almost any new car is going to be faster than our land yachts. Tesla 0-60 in under 3 seconds Kia Stinger 4.7 seconds. Hyundai Ionic 3.4 seconds Even the huge Hyundai Palisade 8 passenger SUV is 6.3 seconds. I guess we can still beat the...

Hey, that looks like me!

Thanks for the reply! When I get a chance, I'll check it out.

Hey man, you're great. I really appreciate everyone replying. 90% of my travels are short under 20 mile round trips, almost none highway, so that probably has something to do with it, but wouldn't all cylinders look like this? The other cylinders look cleaner, not great, but for a 50yr old...

Thanks for the info. I went down a rabbit hole one day and didn't know all the crap we're breathing and eating. Worse than humans before 1880's. More lead, radiation, electromagnetic energy, chemicals, huge increase in sugars/fake sugars such as high fructose corn syrup in everything, all bad...

I think its best to stay away from that aviation crap. It's nasty and should have been outlawed decades ago. 100LL and 110LL has lead in it, just like almost all prop plane fuel. Lead has been proven for the rise in autism and learning disabilities. Lead mutates human DNA structure and...

OK guys, lazy me here. After years, I finally got around to using my cheap borescope (bought it for my house drains). I don't see anything that jumps out at me, but I don't have any experience reading these type of pictures. Maybe carbon or is that oil in the second pic? Engine has about...

I saw it, but then forgot about it, sorry. Thanks for posting. How do I find if my valley pan is leaking?

Cool, I bought a cheap borescope years ago. I can finally use it. I've always had a valve tick in number 6 or 8. For the first year I had the car, I put fuel additive that cleans that cleans the valves in every fill up. The valve tick noise slowly became better, but never went away. I guess...

Well, glad to see his bills will be covered. I guess the internet is good for something. Ha!

Yeah, juuuuust a little too far gone for me. Did you ask how much they want for it?

So after 11 months (about 700 miles) and car sitting for a day, I pulled the Number 6 spark plug (which is located 3rd back on the passenger side, correct)? Last year, I cleaned spark plug. Today, spark plug was wet, oil on threads, some carbon started to form. (see pic). Other spark plugs...
