Thanks guys! According to my books and a few friends, those Zeniths have the best flow. (Strombers BXOV-2's are a close second.) Good carburetors.

I was able to pop on down to the shop for about an hour today, so grandpa and I put the cam shaft in after crimping the oil feed (thanks Drew & Beater!) Also put the tappets, push rods and rocker arms in. The rocker arm mounts were not in the right spots (because a few of them were cracked and replaced), so we took it apart, drilled a couple holes for oil to squirt and put them back together. (pictures w/ rocker arms to come.) Also, Zenith Carburetor rebuild kits to come tomorrow morning, as well as our new rod bearings (had to order new ones) and at long last our front shock absorbers! The last piece to get a rolling frame.

Anyhow, movin' along!



One more thing, anyone have some wisdom on how to go about refurbishing one of these aluminum intakes? How to safely strip the paint off, possibly polish it up nice and shiny?

Thanks!

Pete
