Joe, over the years my ammeter has done that a couple times, usually after it has sat for an extended time. Each time a couple "taps" on the generator with a brass hammer has settled it right down. I suspect my brushes hang up a little and the taps loosen them up.................Tim

A Ford won the race but the pace car was a Plymouth in 1965! I believe that was Fords first 500 win too..............Tim

How about your point gap and ignition timing? They can cause rpm related issues.

When I replaced the 218 in my '41 with a 230 from a '48 the temp gauge bulb from the '41 was too large for the hole in the '48 head. I used the '41 head on the '48 block because of this. I did have an aftermarket gauge that worked on the '48 head but the original would not................Tim

A word on safety. Always wear eye protection when blowing out the passages with carb cleaner or compressed air. It won't always come out where you expect it to. That stuff in your eyes will ruin you day..............Tim

Joe, I, for one, am glad you decided to just paint without adding any weight. I was getting all confused trying to convert pounds of glass to pounds of potato's. Not to mention the new math required to figure out the sixteen ounces per pound of glass stuff. ::cool::D

I believe to check your gear ratio on an open (non posi-traction) rear differential, you jack up one rear wheel and rotate it two complete revolutions while counting drive-shaft revolutions. About 4 revolutions is probably a 4.10 and about 3.5 revolutions is probably a 3.54 etc.. On a sure grip, posi-traction, or locked type differential you raise both wheels and rotate the wheel one revolution while counting drive-shaft revolutions. That is the info I found while making my rear swap and it seemed to work well..............Tim

I have been following along on the "365 days of A". It is a nice quick read every couple days. -
Carl, try opening the air bleeders and pushing the brake cylinder pistons further into their bore. They may be holding the shoes out if the old lining was worn thin and the pistons have been extended for a long period of time. If the pistons are stuck out you may have to rebuild or replace them while you are at it. I have always bled from furthest to nearest the MC also..............Tim
