I have a set like those on my '86 - non roller cam. I
trimmed the oil drippers in the valve covers just in case they might touch. I am a bit quicker in the 1/8th mile, but it may be my launch skills are improving. Worth it, get them.

I put the 1.6 roller tip rockers on last weekend. They have
been on a shelf waiting for some months, and i had the car on jack stands for a starter anyway. I also got my antique plate on too. Getting her ready for the 1/8 mile track this spring. My mustang driving buddy has called me out. I need sticky tires & launch practice.

Walgreens says NO WEAPONS. We weren't allowed to have guns in our service trucks even as disaster relief teams in hurricane zones. I broke that rule on every trip i took for them. I recently left as the dept is being outsourced.

It was Imperial Shrine convention. Competitions of every kind,

I'm a commercial A/C mechanic (not automotive) but ALL open
drive compressors leak a little, especially when not used. The seal gets dry & it seeps out. Your plan is good, but leak test it with pressure, not in a vacuum, its better that way.

It is easy to get licensed & on the air. Very handy in hurricane season and on road trips. Spring & summer is when
the clubs have swap meets & test sessions. Hunt down a club near you, they will help you test & get you past the mic fright of your first contact. Benny N5SZN

Houston voted them out in November (yay!) but the camera company is suing the city now. Had to see that coming. The City campaigned for them on "Safety, Safety, Safety", now the same city is whining about the HUGE budget shortfall shutting them down caused. Tommy nailed it, its about the money.

I use rotella in my 86, but i've noticed the zinc is reduced
too. I have been running STP 4 cylinder formula. Its in a red bottle and is a much lower viscosity than the blue bottle. I don't know the actual zinc level, but i feel better with it.

I installed the same system on my '86 about 2 weeks ago. I
put on stock mufflers from a '94 convertible. No drone. Its pretty loud thru the gears, but at steady cruise its quiet. I used them because i got them for free. I figured i'd use them til i could afford "better", but i'm going to keep them.

You can do this. It'll take a real 2.5-3 hp motor. It will
draw about 25amps at cut-out pressure. Be sure the wire is big enough. A single stage, 2 cyl pump should keep up fine. I painted my car with an HVLP gun and this set up.

 I have a stock intake and run 10*. If i set it to 12+*, the car surges in 1st gear at low speeds (parking lots). Mines a 4+3, an auto may act differently. benny
