81A Flathead Block and accessories free to anyone who will pick them up. I really hate to take them to a scrap yard. They will be in Midland in July at the swap meet also. Transmission from a 47 I think 38 block and crank lots of other stuff. :D...

Great news White! Mine is running fine also.

All, I am now looking for an additional carb (Holley 94 8ba) for my new dual intake? Does anyone have an extra?

All, The econimizer valve was dumping fuel into the bottom. I did find this shortly after the post but wanted to finally follow up.

These are some pics for the next guy.

I got it! The weld nuts were broken on the inside but was able to get both the rear screws out then tilt the hood enough that the trim slid out just over the windshield. I took the screws out for the rear hood support under the trim and "presto" it slid out like butter.

Yes! When I get the bolts loose I will grab one of my daughters to help. They are both good kids but not much in the grease monkey realm.

I started in on my hood removal and the hinge bolts seem to have nuts on the back and will loosen but will not come out. I thought I could take off the rear hood stiffener and it would then just slide out. Unfortunately the center hood trim prevents this and cannot be removed unless the hood...

Thanks to I will check that now. I am also pulling all the plugs.

I have the same set-up. If you get a smaller pulley your fan will pull more RPM at idle. I did this on my father.in.laws and it worked. It took awhile to find a pulley but we drilled it out and put the fan on there.

Ken, Sorry the 1 was covered by the circle so it just looks like the word "turn". It does not seem like that is the problem.

Thanks, I did turn it down. The float is set to 1-7/16 on the money. It is better but something is still happening when it warms up. My temp gauge is in the middle but I am thinking about pulling the thermostats to keep it cool and check it out. Also thinking about the fuel pump..........

By the way, don't for get this little gem.....:o

Mart, I just got it on the road. It must have had blocked jets. It runs well with throttle and I am still working on the idle- kind of jumpy. It used to idle better even before the rebuild. I started at 1-1/2 turns out on the idle adjustment needle and dialed in the idle screw. - I'll keep...
