    Inline 6 devac

    Started right up after priming the carb. OK, so I cheated by rebuilding the carb, setting valves, retiming the engine, but, with only a vacuum advance hooked up, and the stock air cleaner. Nothing going to any of the 4 Ported vacuum switches and all the junk removed from the valve cover. Engine...

    Inline 6 devac

    Engine ready for start after... lots. The only vacuum hose is to the vacuum advance, straight from carburetor. Will be adding a few more systems, but haven't started the engine yet, and a lot of dialing in to do. Nothing hooked to any ported vac switches. Will get the engine started and then...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Almost ready to start.. After Valve adjust, new side cover seals, rebuilt carb, new plugs (broke the old ones?), some paint and cleaning, removing a bunch of emission stuff. Update. Runs great. Valves are quiet, carb is perfect, No emissions left, no leaks.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Just a little paint and things start to look nice! I plan on plugging all the extra emission holes in the valve cover, for now, tilll I replace this head with an early head. I'd like to cut these valve covers to remove the humps, but not until I prove that the new emissions setup works OK.

    I think I need at least one "TVS", that has a broken off port. How do I identify these and where can you get them? The blue one is broken, the orange may be OK, but probably replace at the same time.. If we can get em. I have confirmed the EFE valve does work.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Rebuilt the carb on my 250 - 6. Its the original Rochester. Had tags that it was rebuilt by rochester, and Holley on it. The rebuild went fine until final assembly. Took about 30 minutes to assemble, until "the hard part". Getting all the damn rods and itty bitty circular clips back on and in...

    Inline 6 devac

    I rebuilt a 1941 Chevy truck with a 235- six. It was very similar. In working on this 6, I found changes all the way through the life of the Stovebolt. It always had major changes every few years. Yes, it changed in 63, but also in 29, 36, 39, 47 and 87, with the integral head. So changes were a...

    The new plugs fit!. You kinda gotta ram em in after the threads start, but... These are 1" long. You can see how far they go in.. Again, these are ¾-16. The hole was ¾-18 just because so you don't do this. Adjusted the (engine intake and exhaust) valves also. Easy peezzy So this means I'm gonna...

    So, my plan is to make it look like its therefor the next time we have to look under the hood. In three years. Maybe, maybe knot.. But these kids have no idea. Sorry for the rant above. The hole in the heads to plug is ¾-18. I have ¾ -16 bolts coming to plug.

    Latest on this project- removing all the damn vacuum lines on a 250-6 with integrally stupid head. I'm also working on finding a valve tap, but thats the gravy to drive me into this mess. So. I have a new valve cover bargain coming from LMC, but it only fits my early non stupid head. So, I have...

    Crank pulley thread size for 3 holes.

    I tapped the three holes to ⅜-16 I'm able to turn crank easily now with 3 temp bolts inserted. Excuse the bother, but between my back and my knees I just have trouble getting down there. I have work to be done before the surgery.

    Brake bleeder system

    I've been doing brake systems for years. Minor bleed or full system, I use a mytyvac hand held suction pump. recently I upgraded to the pro model in some kinda metal after wearing out a few of the plastic ones. The one thing you need to know is that bubbles from leaking threads appear all the...

    Crank pulley thread size for 3 holes.

    I want to rotate my engine by hand, and wish to put bolts in two of the three crank pulley holes, and then use a screwdriver to rotate the engine. What is the bolt and thread size of those three bolts. My case is an 81 250-6 but I think all of the non bolted pulleys are the same. My crank pulley...

    Stripped off the vacuum hoses and exhaust ************ pipes. Gonna try a standard valve adjustment. Engine is solid. All plugs are great, Starting to look better. Almost all of the pipes will go away for now. except distributor vacuum advance. Looking better already.
