all cylinders registered 200 psi,highly doubt ive damaged anything in the head then so im thinking adjust tappets, are they even adjustable on pintos[x2x], ive nevers really worked on one besides the usual maintanece


the thing also wont rev past 3500 but i think thats carby related as its spurting fuel left right and centre, had a few big backfires through carb which on 350 holley's makes the power valve cactus,least the thing is running now and i can sort out the little things

still in shock that i can turn the key and the thing will just idle when its stone cold

hey david. good to here buddy. you should really get the carby all sweet and then try and run it. that motor loves fuel and air due to the big cam. and dont worry when you have the car runnin right when its cold it wont idle for a few minutes.


give me a call if ya need any help.

have you got the timing light out david and made sure everything is good to go.

timing belt was a tooth out so set it all back up on TDC and she runs sweet no damage done to engine thank god, carbys running rich no matter what we do so im thinkin of going back to a 32/36 and jettin it out to suit, holley are to much of a pig to get right now i just gotta fix the long list of little things
speedo cable
inlet manifold gasket
blank of pvc valve...and what ever else decides to show its ugly head

talk about a battle thats only the half of it , been driving my dads ba falcon in the mean time and its like omg i wood love something u can turn the key and not have to warm up for 5 mins haha, wil get some pictures up not much has changed looks like the exact same car with the exact same engine, will get some pictures up when i lower it properly i might post up a video if i can think of something decent enough to be filmed doing haha
