Despite this, the lifters will still rotate- this is normal, and while it does show that the cam and lifters are due for...

I'm not up on Olds stuff too much, just know the A,B,C,D castings are the ones to find. I thought the farther down the alphabet you went the worse they got. Maybe I'm out to lunch on this?? www.oldsmobility.com for links to Olds related stuff. www.442.com

Either one should work fine Tom. Only time I ever used Flow Kooler products was when I installed a disc on the impeller of my stock water pump and it did as it said it would do. Of course we`ve all used Edelbrocks stuff, and while I`ve never had a problem with there intakes I hate there carbs. However I have heard good things about there water pumps as well. Flip a coin on it, either will fill the bill.

Instead of spinning the push rod in your fingers to sense the o lash point, move the rocker up and down, up and down. Stop tightening as soon as the push rod no longer goes up and down in your fingers. Then with all the plugs removed turn the motor over by hand checking each cylinder spark plug hole for compression using your finger over the spark plug hole as you progress thru the firing order. Each cylinder will come up on compression...

HB- Harold Brookshire, one of the most renowned cam guys that posts on auto forums, has done a LOT of cam work and is very good, any one who knows him will atest to that. And by long time ago I was referering to before they were bought out. Like 6-7 years I believe. which to some guys is a drop in the hat, but to me it was a while, I guess its all relative. Bogie's post was good but you don't necessarily need more lift or duration,...

no, a 114 will close the valve 4 degrees later. remember the crank to cam is a 2:1 ratio. 280 with 114 lsa has the same intake closing point as a 288 cam with 110 lsa. rpm and dcr effects are a debatable topic. I see about a 50/50 mix there. some say no effect and other say there is one. but, yes, a 292H with a 3000 would be a good combo. I ran that setup for a few years with good results.

Well does it really matter where I live in N.Y. , I am sorry I ever posted anything, everyone is smarter and has all the answers this will be my last post. The answers I got were not the questions I asked. 8.5 to 1 is just fine with a procharger 7.5 is for a roots style as the majestic stupendous brilliant wonderful f bird said. My combination was tunable, I was asking about quench and gasket thickness. I stated C&S built my carb and...

Yup, T-tops are not a good choice for racing. Start looking for sheet metal cracks where the roof panel meets the quarter panel.
