    Tapping Under Valve Covers, Sewing Machine Noise?

    Try a little penetrating oil on the guides and see if the sound goes away. Look for bad or bent stems. I think you problem is not letting the new or old work right. The lead really is needed for a stock head. After adjusting so many times , I think is worn parts or lubrication.

    Tapping Under Valve Covers, Sewing Machine Noise?

    How thin a motor oil are you running ? Above 0 degrees 20w50 could be the cure you need.. These ran with leaded fuel to keep the valves from sticking. Are you on the original guides? Products like lead additives and octane boosters could also help. If I remember right , louder after it...

    Holley 7448 2 Barrel

    I finally got my Holley 350CFM 2 barrel in. I went through Holleys eBay remanufactured store and picked up a re-tested 7448/2300 for $229, no core charge. Listed ...Like New on eBay for being a return from someone who adjusted it out of spec. I cant tell that its been installed before, so I'm...

    Is Edelbrock 500 Cfm Enough Carb.

    I should add , That I used the Holley remanufactured EBAY store so my 7448 was $229 with a 90 day warranty. 0 to 50 should be responsive and still roll out on the highway nice.

    Is Edelbrock 500 Cfm Enough Carb.

    I believe the stock 2100 Ford 2 barrel had about 250cfm. So a 500cfm should be fine unless you go crazy low with gears. I just picked up a Holley 7448 350 cfm 2 barrel for a stock 1965 c code. Putting a manual choke back on it as well. Not everyone wants to race a 50+ year old car.

    2v For Stock 289

    Ok , life happened and I put off getting a Holley 2V with a manual choke till now. My question is, will a stock 289 see any benefit going larger than 350cfm ? I'm thinking no. But I will trust the older memberships advice. Mostly a parade car. But some real world highway speeds with a stock...
