I tried uploading a pic, but would have to massage it smaller in size. How about if I post the info?

My L81 was born with rwl, so she still wears them. My other car had them and I went black walls with new tires, but I will try to get those tire letter kits they sell.
Tom,
it seemed that she could run faster (and did in the few occasions I commanded her to do so), but acceleration was crisp, and acceleration from a stop is much better. The cam has the same L81 valve timing, but more lift. Gross lift around 0.550”.
Now she she is ready for a CAC Cruise. 😝😬😬
I just got back from an 1,100 mile trip in Gail, and wow, she performed flawlessly. Averaged consistently 16 MPG on the return leg. The first leg was a bit less because I installed last the distributor shield, and I inadvertently knocked the manifold vacuum signal tube off the carb. Smh
I also...
Thanks Tom. I think you may be right. The gauge lights are off now, and the temp gauge working. Just having a dark center cluster.
But she ran awesomely for 398 miles today. Temperature, oil pressure, oil temp, charging system working great, and even got 15 miles per gallon at 76-77 MPH...
Originality is great, but updating components ensures longer life
Hello folks, I have been waiting for the right time to repair Gail’s engine....again. The number three exhaust cam lobe went flat. So this time, I got a roller cam with the L81 valve timing and a bit more lift.
I’ll be driving...
Personally, I think the magic number is closer to $30K. Has anyone decoded (not decided ��) the VIN? Does it shed any light on options and what not?
Hello folks,
i saw this car for sale at a local swap meet. I believe the old lady told me that it belonged to her brother. The engine is supposedly a, "warranty dealer replacement", and she believes she has paperwork related to the car. I want to say the car was originally Mulsanne Blue, but I...
I regret for my post in while to be bearing sad news, but Chas' (Charlie) wife Theresa, passed away. I believe it was unexpectedly, for he texted me that his son Ben (look up Chas' postings about his son Ben's exploits in the Army; he is now an H-60G pilot; graduated top of his class, with about...
Yeah Bill,
It is a bad way to learn that if you want a cam that won't so easily do that, you'll have to order it hardened. Smh
i am thinking of using a retrofit roller cam this time.

Hello folks!!
Hi guys!
Gail has a flat #3 exhaust cam lobe. I have not removed the engine yet, but since I had removed the cylinder heads for a rebuild, the short block still sitting the there. It is a complete tear down to make sure the metal is cleaned out.
I hope everyone has had a great...
