car would idle ok at the far advance pickup may be sluggish.If the timing were set to spec it may not run and would have no power .I did not check the other threads what if the balancer spun on the rubber cushion I have seen that before also Steve

Not sure about the 40 degrees but if you had a large cam With high lift and duration with low compression pistons you would have to bump the timing way up to make up for the low static compression.If it is to far advanced it would grunt like hell trying to start worse when warm.May be a...

I am wondering if you are having a security issue? you could also do a fuel drop test on the injectors to make sure none are clogged from sitting just my 2 cents Steve

you could leave the sending unit and have a new access welded in for a high pressure pump you would also have to run new fuel line probably a larger feed and a return if you do not have one although there are systems out there now with regulators in the tank which would eliminate the need for...

it may just be loose in the head or the ceramic is coming loose in the hex base needs to be checked for sure Steve

how can you explain torsion bars that start to sag with age? :confused Steve

my guess is that it my loose a little but if it isn't broken it will still work fine it is a sort of torsion bar and they are used as springs in many vehicles.The lose would be minimal in my book and would not mater unless it was for all out competition. just adding one where one wasn't would...

I put one in my 69 I liked the difference myself I put a big block one in It may have been overkill but have a small block sway bar if I happen to change my mind Steve
