Greg, – my 2c worth follows.  Sorry, but I have to say that I think you are approaching this problem from the wrong direction. You have an engine heat problem.  You have said that you have some/all missing tin.  I really don’t know whether or not your engine is in a good state of tune.

Roy,I should be able to get you a measurement in the next day or do – car covered for the winter and all – I have twin Kadrons w/ cone style air cleaners. Hopefully you can make something fit.

OK, I emailed the BigHugeLabs dude just like last year. For sure he’ll send us a link, but a word on his contact page says they’re on vacation until Dec 3 or so. Which means we’ll be seeing a reply email with a link maybe next week.Sorry for the delay.

Thanks Ed, that is what I am hoping for.  

Ordered it. Reprints might be available here.http://bighugelabs.com/cart.php?msg=The+items+from+your+previous+order+have+been+added.Please see if it works for you & let me know if there’s trouble. As I recall, there is usually trouble until I figure out how to share this link.

OK, hearing nothing further I’m going to set up the calendar.

OK, tried it again asking for a 100 c.i. engine & it’s no good for that either.Roy, I’m going way out on a limb here and advising you: go with two little one-bbls if they’ll fit. Don’t mess with Webers & stuff on a little engine like that. Instead, buy a small carb kit with manifolds and a set of small ratio rockers. Spend money on the rocker arm…[Read more]

Wow. I tried that selector for a 2.2 Subie and crapped out every time. Just doesn’t have anything. But I know a guy in Canada put a Subie in his Speedster with a progressive Holley/Weber and it does great–30+ mpg, strong acceleration and smooth startup.

Seems a little high to me since you can still buy a driver for 3,000 to 3500 if you look. Also if the body has lots of cracks in the gel coat you are in for lots of work ( ask me how I know ) so take your time and check that closely. Engine and pan and everything included? I believe I would check it out and then make a cash offer in the 1500.00…[Read more]

there is a formula for how many cubic feet per minute of carb you will need but I can’t remember it. displacement by rpms then divide by some number

only 8 bolts left to undo & the body will come off. time to buy the floor pans

Photos didn’t post, Allen.Should be numbers stamped into the bearing cone and the bearing race.

Everybody, enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Maybe. I just PM’d you a random pic.I did get a message saying the photo size was limited to 1 megabyte. Paul?

OK, new April, June–though I think the June shot is going to be a bit rough when blown up full size.Keep ’em coming

It seems that all agree that the lifters probably need replacing.  I think that I did this once about 30 years ago on a 1.6L.  The only reason that it took all afternoon was that someone brought a case of beer.  Not a big job to replace methinks.  (Assuming the above clean/lube techniques don’t do the job.)
