guys,

my buddy with the 1960 edsel running the factory 292 engine is going to have another buddy adjust the valves.

what are the lash measurements for the intake and exhaust valves ?



and he FINALLY got around to having the trans pan dropped and filter cleaned. said it was very very dirty. put it back together and that seems to have cured all of his 1-2 slipping. said it shift nice and hard and he can now jump right on the throttle and not have to baby it when its ready to go into second gear.



and he pulled the holley 2bbl carb apart looking at the power valve, and the previous owner or someone really screwed things up, something about the locating pins for the metering plate were sheared off in the carb body, and the metering plate had hair line cracks all over it. so we think that is where he has continued to get the 40-60mph slight hesitation, and ordered a new carb. will have it here mid week, and he should be on his way to a nice running car.

then it will be onto the power brake conversion...



thanks guys
