hey, Jack and Dave, I've been noticing on your cars that Huuuge Wiper door actuator.

were they fitted to later model cars? I have a 71. How close does it come to the rocker cover?

I decided to stay with the 11:1, I was lucky to have an original cam, GM, new in the tube and a set of GM edge orifice lifters! We upgraded to the better rods, bolts and went with a dynamic balance. I just hope it runs on 93 octane! We're breaking it in this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actuator? It wants to pivot just a bit, but it does clear the valve covers. What is on the car is the one it had when I bought it 17 years ago, my son mixed up a paint that matches the cad coat, carbs were re-plated and machined to square them up.

AR or AZ, depends on who you ask ?? (thats for you ken )

AR is arkansas...

I traveled from NC to Memphis to get my car several years ago, right across the river from you. My engine guy is from Wynne, Ar.

Im on the other side of the state.. closer to Oklahoma and Texas

Thanks Ben.

I still think you need to watch out for sand bogs.

if it doesnt quit raining ill have to watch for mud bogs..

there enough of a problem here when it doesnt rain 10 days in a row..

the creek in my yard is up about 2 ft...

if any of you come to arkansas.. dont go anyplace where the directions include "turn off the paved road".....

remember 4 wheel drive doesnt keep you from getting stuck, it just gets you stuck in worse places..
