    Thanks all your help and advice:) Yes the rods and pump are on the shelves in my garage and the pistons are supposed to arrive within a few weeks, I bought them because I want to have a solid bottom on the engine, it may be completed with a windage tray, haven´t decided about that yet...

    how do you know

    Change them anyway, it´s not that easy to know when they are going to fail, so . If you have owned the car for some years and have some miles on it I´d suggest to replace them, and when your at it, replace the bushings also and then you won´t have to think about these parts for a long time.:nice:

    New Radiator?

    It´s maybe obvious, but have you flushed the radiator, it may be that you have a lot of sediment in it, and do you have the fan shroud mounted ... it helps more than people usually think.

    Pertronix Ignitor question, and any real benefit to "performance" spark plug wires?

    Whats wrong wiht my electrical system?

    It´s quite easy to check the alternator, simply check the voltage over + and - on the battery when engine is idling. I don´t realy know how much the regulator gives (I´m running a Bosch alternator with built in regulator), but i should read approx 12.7V

    Why is my engine sluggish? Any thoughts on Holley vs. Autolite 4100?

    Hi! I´m not a carb-guru, but still, I think it would be a good idea if you told us what kind of secondaries you have, vacuum or mechanical, and what engines are you talking about, 289, 302, 351 .... I believe that with that information it would be easier to give some advice. If, for example...

    I´m in process off starting up my -69, since the old 302 was to tired it was left alone and I found a 351W that`s in good shape, but... The 351 is from a old van (-89), obviously the camsaft isn`t what I want. A friend of mine sugested me to install a cam from the 289 HP, will that work...
