Re: Rear hub won't turn
I had the drums cut 1/8" and it did turn better but still a little tight. Where does one find axle shims? It's getting better but still needs a little tweeking. Thanks again for all the help.

Re: new engine runs too rich HELP!!
PV is original and it has back fired so as soon as my new one gets here I will change it out. Also, when I screw the mixture screws in it keeps running as if nothing has changed. Hopefully the new...

Re: new engine runs too rich HELP!!
Vacuum at idle is 18hg. Power valve is stock. I ordered a 10.5 pv just in case. I will try and advance the timing and see what effect it has. Where do you get e-3 plugs for a model a?
