Planning on tearing down this winter. The repair manual makes it sound easy to replace guides. I'll find out. Also new rings and rod and main bearings. hope its not too hard to pull an engine with fluid drive.

The hood on my 50 doesn't have a brace at rear. With hood open it flops but doesn't when closed or driving.

I put a bottle of lucas oil in it last year and it helped. Went on a cruise last sat and it really got bad. Maybe time for a tear down this winter.

Shows 57,000 don't know if thats right or 157,000 runs great but smokes

Doesn' smoke pulling away from stop, just when I step down on it after coasting down under compression. Last time I checked compression all were a little over 100. That has been a while and it seems to be getting worse after driving for a while.

I know I'll hear criticizem for a dumb question but I'm a tough old man, I can handle it. When running for a while at 55 mph or so I let up and coast down to say 20 mph. I lay out a fair cloud of blue smoke. Does this indicate bad rings or valve guides letting oil by?

I had timed my 230 with a light. I thought it was really running good then I read the post, sorry can't remember who posted it about timing with vac gauge. Tinkering the other day so I thought I would try it. This will always be a turtle off the line but, cannot believe how much more power it has now once it gets into 4th gear. Sure is a much better way to set timing!!!

Mine had a screw that was too long. Someone lost the original and put in a longer one. I would check this . The longer screw will raise the plate when you tighten it.

not sure wat it was off of. we did have to drill out the shaft hole a little but bolt pattern fit.

I put 7 blade on my 50 dodge. hasn't got hot since.

If pumping the pedal brings it up it is usually air in lines.

I bought it at the glass shop where I had windows cut.

My local napa doesn't want to mess with the little guy just business. They're the highest place around to buy parts. Was told this by an employee. Local owned Parts Stop can get everything I need for fair prices.

I have painted 3 cars with that gun. Worked ok just be sure and clean it really good.

I've never seen one that didn't have a small screw holding the plate down.The one you loosen to adjust points and another locking it down.

I have a full set I just took off my 50 dodge I couldpart with pretty easy. $90 is rediculous. Make an offer if you want them.

I've had one of those 3 legged jacks since mid 60s. I carry it in my 50 dodge not afraid of it at all. Like they said just keep the legs apart.
