There are few cats running loose in areas where genuine tacos are served.

Have you seen the bumper sticker;  "Missing your cat, look under my wheels"    I think our big,not fat just big 15lb ginger tom might take a different view on the matter.

I'm allergic to cats, but the stray torti who adopted me (after I made the mistake of feeding her!) doesn't seem to bother me.

I guess (from what I've heard) if you park a REALLY nice car outside down in Fla., shooting cats could become a tempting hobby.

I gotta be careful around cats....I hurt one little whisker and my wife mops up the floor with me!

No time wasted.  You're just learning, as we all are.

Well I also had a little chat with John Mummert today too!



I wanted to tell him that the new Rams Horns I bought from him look absolutely beautiful with the flat black ceramic coating I had put on them! I also told him that I now have about the same amount in them that I saw an old rusty set go for on ebay several months ago!!



He said it best I think about possible upper oiling problems...... I could verify oiling now or I could do it when the engine in the truck. It would be somewhat harder to fix it in the truck if something was a'miss!!



So I'm glad I verified everything is working now while it's on an engine stand!



I really like to ensure everything works properly before bolting it in place!



I'm a little weird that way I guess!





Thanks again all!







John, I love that 57 in your sig. I owned one that my Grandmother bought new. I drove it all thru high school. It had a 292/Fordomatic in it. I wish I had kept it!

Rick:

Glad to hear all is OK.  It has to be comforting to you to know that the machinist really knows his Y Blocks.  It is also gratifying to the guy who figured what was wrong, gave you an answer, and received verification that he was right.  Thanks for letting us know what you found.

Ok....alrighty then.





Well, I feel somewhat stupid......I do learn eventually though!







I removed the rocker assemblies and found that they are(were) in fact on correctly.



All I had to do is turn the engine a bit and turn the pump (at the same time) and I discovered a gusher! Turn it a little further and the gusher switched sides! Obviously I have a drilled cam.



I probably should have done that first but I needed to bottom out the valve cover studs anyway. They weren't screwed in all the way.





I also put a gage on it and was surprised that I could turn the pump slowly and get 50psi easily. Turned it fast and I got about 75 psi before it felt like the relief valve opened.



Much ado about nothing!



I apologize for wasting everyone's time!!



I would rather save my questions for the important stuff!!
