40 | Comments | I originally wanted to
use a line bored dual relief case but there were some
issues with it so I used a new case and had it built to
my specs. I was a pain in the rear to the crank builder
because I was so picky about getting the rod journals
indexed correctly. I used a 32/36 progressive carb but no
matter how I rejetted it, it was squishy on the bottom
end. I knew that Ford Pinto's and Chevy Vega's used these
carbs and there were two in use, the 28/36 for stick and the 32/36 for automatic. I found a good 28/32 in a wrecking yard and rebuilt it with 137/50 jets on the 28 side and 145/60 on the 36 side. No flat spots from top to bottom. Since my Single Cab has reduction boxes I wanted my distributor curve to come in slower and continue past the .009 sooner so I opted for the .050 with dual points. Also, I found that the cheaper Bosch blue coil from Mexico is not a real Bosch and the voltage is lower, so I got a Brazillian one at a higher price but 15000 more volts. |
