here is a link to a couple pics of the cylinder heads
being rebuilt for my W-31
http://community.webshots.com/album/124263972DftbuC

work has kinda stalled somewhat on my part (basically
me paying Jim at J&S) as I've had to pay for cancer
treatment for my cat.  But I did order an ATI
flexplate today :-)))  I'm still on track to get this
bad boy back this spring.  It's just getting the car
back on the road that may take longer than planned due
to the unexpected cancer found in my cat.

Also, I am (somewhat) on the lookout for a chevy 12
bolt, gearing in the 4s and c-clip elims preferred. 
I've got a 12 bolt I can build, but if I can find one
partially done for a good price I'll grab it.

Hi Guys,
    I'm cleaning out a few items that I no longer have room for and 
would like to post one or two items every so often if nobody objects. I 
have 40 plus issues of Journey With Olds magazine that I'd like to sell 
for $50 including media mail postage. Included are the complete volumes 
for 2001, 2002, and 2003 plus a few stragglers from 1999 and 2000. I'll 
also include the 2004 issues that I've received so far. That should make 
the total number around 42 issues or so. They are all in near mint to 
mint condition.
    The first person that says "I'll take 'em" gets them and I accept 
Paypal, checks or MO's.
Thanks,
Gene

"98 Aurora has 90,000 miles, needs tune up.  So today I replaced plugs and 
wires. What a joy.  The peckerheaded engineer who designed the coil pack 
with bolts in front and REAR should have his nuts removed.  You need to be 
triple jointed with tiny hands to get in back there.  Moron. Anyway, still 
has a miss, think it is an injjector since it has spark.  More fun.......

Yah, I did that on my Aurora.  Not the most fun task!  I was fortunate that
things ran smooth after.  Bet you replaced your FPR at some point too. For
the miss, I think it could be one of those four coil packs.  You could
replace one as a test and see if the miss goes away.  Keep swapping out the
coil packs till you [hopefully] find the one that is causing the miss.

Good luck!

Went to the favorite vendor yesterday
As luck would have it, Daryl and Darryl were tossing off some Olds parts.
Got a freshly redone G head, 4 or 5 clutched fans of 5 or 7 bladed variety, 
OLDSMOBILE embossed rocker covers [somewhat dented], 3 or 4 timing covers in 
good shape already extracted, a 4-bbl carb with fuel line unmangled, some 
throttle cable brackets, an HEI, and a bunch of stuff I forgot about 
already.

the man says he has also to sell a 400 Pontiac Motor, and a good set of #8 
heads ["Golden Rocket" ya know....]

Left there... a set of 80k mile 5A 307 heads, the 307 block, some HEI's
Could not find the twin to that nice pretty rebuilt G head.

Interested parties please call or email directly.

Subject: 1971 qjet

the qjet on my 71 Rocket 350 has seen better days(it's over 32 years old and
has never been removed from the car for all I know) and has behaved better
as well...choke is sticking, the carb is developing leaks/wetness around the
gaskets, etc...
I was wondering where I might be able to purchase a reputable replacement.
I'd like to keep the stock one in my "original" parts bin, so I'm not
looking to do a core exchange.  I also do not want a carter or holley, I
need a direct replacement, plus I do like the behavior of a qjet for a daily
driver.

I have access to hundreds of such carbs, most very pretty, some grayish 
colored. Vast majority are rebuilt [about 1975 I think] and in generic white 
"Cardo" co. boxes. Some are NOS in delco boxes- notably 7029253's. The wall 
of carbs is about 100 ft long, 8-10 boxes high, and 2-3 deep. Not many 1970 
units left, several 1971-2, LOTS of Toro units '68-73 #70xx252. A few pre-68 
units, lots of new 7027157's ['156?]- but stamped, not round-tagged. Most 
round-tagged units are now missing the round tag.

They are priced at $300 delivered [US 48 states] for the rebuilt, $400 for 
the new ones. Sample pix available upon request.

There's even a few dozen of the pre-Qjet 4-bbls:

Subject: Change valve covers- PULL ENGINE??

Hello List  I just came in to warm up a bit so I
figured I would tell of my latest nightmare. I bought
a 63.000 mile 1971 Delta Conv.  I am going over it to
get it ready for some Summer driving.

While I was changing fluids and filters ...... pull the engine and put it on 
a stand!
Later, Ken
============
CLASSIC tale of Shipwright's Disease.
That was great!
Beware, or you will soon be spending $3000 on the engine, followed by "the 
engine compartment is just too nasty to put that engine into..."

Just do the MINIMUM required. Freeze plugs and any gaskets that you 
disturbed. Oh," Mitaswell" do the rubber rear main seal while yer in there 
:-)

But NO NOT pull the heads unless it OBVIOUSLY needs a valve job.

Subject: Lifter preload vs. pedestal numbers

On cylinder # 1, turn engine over until you are at TDC compression
stroke. Both valves will be closed, and the lifters will be on the base
circle of the cam. Place the adjustable P/R on the intake side. With the
rocker pivot loose and a .040" feeler gauge between the pivot base and
head mounting boss, turn the adjustable P/R until it just touches the
rocker arm and the lifter. There should be a slight amount of drag when
you spin the P/R between your fingers. This is the correct P/R length.
When you tighten down the rocker arm pivot, the .040" gap will transfer
to compressing the lifter plunger. You now have the correct preload.
=================
0.040" at the rocker pedestal translates to about 0.060" motion at the 
lifter plunger. I just went thru all that on the W31-ish engine.

No Chris. 0.040" at the pedestal/rocker arm stud is the same for the
pushrod, but it *is* 0.064" at the valve. The rocker arm ratio dimension
difference is from the pivot point to the valve stem tip contact point.

pushrod to pivot = 1 unit
pivot to valve stem contact = 1.6 units

Subject: 69 Hurst on Evil site?

There is a beautiful 69 Hurst Olds on eBay. I was looking at the pictures
and noticed it had K(?) heads. What are these from? Shouldn't they be C
heads? For $39,000.00 I would hope to get an all original car.

Subject: Brake adj.1958,pulling left

Hello
I seem to be havin a problem with brakes pulling on the 58.
She pulls left...i adj. the pass side closer to try and even it out,,,its not working,,still pulls left?
I know they are all new shoes and drums around that need to be broke in,new wheel cyl also new.
Also there are no self adj. on the early cars.
If i am pulling left that means the drivers side is to close?
Or adj the pass side closer....but this did not help?
Do the rears make a car pull or only the frts?
The rears seem to be on the loose side.
I sure got lotsa get up and go power...its the power stops that maybe worrying me.
Hints plz.
