I will if I don't have one at work. I work on diesel engines and have a large selection of square and quad rings in my stash. Now I will try to upload some pictures of my first outing with the car to the Syracuse Nationals.
-
I did just pull it apart and downed the car, it is an o-ring, I wall check at work before ordering one. Thank you everyone
-
I have not taken the cover off because I don't want to down the car yet. I might want ice cream later. But it looked like a 5 hole gasket around the pump. Would it be a gasket or a o-ring like the eBay part Jerry Roberts suggested
-
Like think that I have the oil pan leak taken care of, but it looks like my oil pump outtet cover gasket is leaking. Is this gasket available without buying a rebuild kit
-
I like how that looks don, do you have a larger pic. Did you run around the front of the head or still went over it
-
I rebuilt the engine, and I did leave them about 3/16 long. I have the pan off so I'm gonna check the straightness
-
Semi auto fluid drive. I set my static timing at 0 tdc. I can adjust to have lower power but feels Skippy at higher rpm or boggy at lower rpm and sweet at higher rpm. During my rebuild I shaved .045 off the head and .015 off the block. .040 pistons. Stock cam, stock valves and stovebolt daul dump cast iron headers.
-
With some timing adjustments and carb linkage adjustments I was able to get the idle down to 477 rpm. Now I'm thinking my mechanical advance springs are wrong. At 700 rpm my advance is at 7 with the vacuum unhooked. One of the springs looks stretched out. Is there a place to buy new springs or a kit instead of sending the dizzy out.
-
Yes carb was off and the gaskets I used when I went through the carb had the four slots. All new balls, needle valve, float is good. The two pistons with the leather seals, only one came in the kit and I'm not sure if it was the step up valve or the other one. I also couldn't get the car to idle below 600 rpm. I think I'm gonna recheck the valve adjustment as the car sounds like a sewing machine. Now I have some time on the rebuild I want to recheck it. I did the cold adjustment at .010&.012 being the stovebolt headers are way to much in the way to do a warm adjustment
-
Wetness at the base yes, when I look into the intake I can see puddle of fuel when it being cranked over. No black smoke, tail pipe is clean. Engine rebuild has 200 miles on it.
-
Plugs are clean, went through a tank of fuel in 130 miles. When I hit the throttle fuel pumps in from a port near the choke plate. Car hesitate s and sounds like a vacuum cleaner at part throttle. Besides that it runs good
-
Sorry I should mention that it's a 49 Chrysler royal with a 251 and a ball&ball. The plugs are not carboned up.
-
So on my first outing I have fairly large oil leaks by cork gaskets, I hate cork and never had good luck with them. Are there any tricks I should try? Valve covers and oil pan mainly. Secondly I am using way to much fuel, what should I look for. Wasn't it a fueling plunger with three rods that may cause this. To all I have meet at the Nationals it's been a ball.
-
Would a thin coat of silicone or anerobic sealer help with this
-
So I hate oil leaks and cork gaskets. I just can't seem to get the oil pan and valve covers to seal up

Nevermind the Nova next to me, there must be 200 Nova's at the show

So I have not updated in a while. So today was my first test drive and it was to the Syracuse Nationals. Now my car is not close to show ready but it is driving and the goal was to drive and enter the Nationals. I will try to show some pics. Now I did park near the rat rods but advertising as an on going restore. It's not going to be a rat dropping as Plymouth Adams speaks of but it's not finished and didn't look right sitting next to some $200,000 car. I get more people looking at it that way.

So kiethb7 pic looks like what I'm looking for, so the two wires are on the same bullet Conn. Right in to the center pin. Does nothing go to what looks like a male spade on the retainer plate?
-
Does anyone have a good pic of the wiring on the carb. I have the schematic but there was no wires hooked up when I got the car and want to see how they went

31,000 actually.
