Re: 1934 ford backfiring
Are you running a Holley 94 carb? I had issues backfiring and I found that the accelerator pump nozzle was not being secured by the cluster retainer that bridges the clusters to secure them. It...

Re: 59A-B Vacuum at dipstick tube
I'll probably have to knurl the guides and I'll make a mandrel at work.
I've got a line on and old school seat tool and I'll cut them myself. I am a machinist so I'm fairly sure I can figure this...

Re: 59A-B Vacuum at dipstick tube

Re: 59A-B Vacuum at dipstick tube
Engine is out and I’ll continue with disassembly. Some parts have started to arrive, but I fear I may be waiting on my valve kit. I ordered it from Reds on Friday and it says the sale is still...

Re: 59A-B Vacuum at dipstick tube
Yeah, thanks for the input Ronnie! I had a sneaky suspicion the guides were the culprit being how loud the valves started rattling when that raw unmetered fuel got dumped down the manifold. Plus...

Re: 59A-B Vacuum at dipstick tube
I'll definitely give that a go after I figure out this vacuum leak deal. It ran like a raped ape until the power valve/raw fuel deal. There's another symptom I forgot to mention, when it was leaking...
