Ed,  Yeah, it’s not easy to do when I’m thinking with my wallet, but I’ve had too many dead batterys at the worst possible times. (or the worst possible places!)  That 50 lbs is extra heavy when walking to Walmart.    I’ll do just about anything to keep from breaking down.   Part of my OCD when it comes to cars.

Welcome, Smitty.Kustom Kemps! Low & Slow then?

Good on ya!

Took the car to work today. 56 degrees in SE PA.

Welcome Smitty.  I lived in Greenville for a short time back in 57-58.  Dad was moved there for work.   I don’t remember much about it just how friendly everyone was.  I was only about 7-8 years old then.  I did pick up a southern accent, took alot longer to loose it when we moved again.

Just to close this thread out:  Both heads cc’d at 50cc.  I installed them.  Compression ratio calculated at 7.8/1.   Compression pressures is 133-135 all around.  All’s well.   See the other thread on cylinder heads. 

Welcome aboard Smitty.  You’ll find a lot of knowledgeable and helpful people here on the forum.  Lots of dope.  That’s dope, not dopes.
