All Ways @ da busy !

yes, we discussed. I must have not seen them rolled up in the paper, thrown them out. 1/4, 20 is good. I think 11/16 (after a lock washer or something?) is good on length. Do they need a lock? thread lock fluid? any spec attention? Rather hassle w/that than ground a deeper hole in the vc each time I 'close up'.

"...Did I send you a set yet?..." Oh buddy, dont worry bout it. I'd rather talk about Norfolk back in the day ! Truth (more of it, anyway) I don't think so. What do THESE look like, gota pic? Specs? Got another item round there? A shaft to hang the carb hat (would it B threaded at each end?) May B a non-phalic (aahah!) nut for the end? I was thinkin this one but would hafta mill out the center, do so w/a sloping "V" wall, etc. Knock off a good portion of those nice fins, hey?

ck site for details: not sure progress...

'82 is in that transition period btwn carb'n cfi/tbi. Some 'rip off" everything on top of th motor saying "get rid of that polloution crap" when it is essential feedback for performance (MPGs & pep). Get with others who know these systems for optimal parts sourcing, schematics, tech advice, etc. There R several 'on-line clubs' for this M/M/Yrs. I just boughta '85 LTD (or fox) wagon. Time for me to learn....

yeah, that's a way we ck while assembling - turn by hand to feel problems. The more "in there' the harder, but just crank, pistons 5 - 7lbs? timing set too 8 -10? head valves 12? I don't know. I use the tq wrench for head bolts, rod bolts, lug nuts (once back on the ground), rear ends, not a lot. I know I weigh 200 lbs so change wrench length and go soft, easy, medium & hard where. needed, bolt sz... I like the way ur goin tho. On long dormant motors, so as to not bend push rods, etc I might put a tq wrench on the HB if one is having lots of trouble just to geta idea if dissasembly is needed. "How stuck is that puppy?" 30/50 lb above I figure "this is 1 I don'r wanna jump start to bring back...

thnx 4 post back. Not demeaning just encouraging. Go build one... This head hada lotta research , exp, and redesign, use, correction, & is still developing (in non design ways now tho) hafta ask Matt....

it sez U replied, don't C it. But Y not go for it ML? 2 wooden flats, some green sand, put your model in the middle, close it up'n pour ur molten alu ingot? 2 lbs = 12$ right now, post pic here

go 4 it Mike !

more tools then a hammer dude...

Is a 'base plate' recommended for mounting the carb hat here on to a carter RBS carb /or/ is the lill typical stud & nut all that's needed for this?

been at it 39 yrs now, no rush. There may B more than "one lesson" here gsims1997.
