Chad, I was at the Tulsa St. Fair today. There were some chainsaw carvers there. The one I talked to happened to be from Willard, MO. His name is Keith Gregory. He named a bunch of carver's from MO that he knew. I did not know your last name, but he did not recognize your first name. He told me he was invited to Ft. Scott but couldn't pass up the Tulsa St. Fair. I may be going back tomorrow. If you want me to pass along your (last) name let me know. He went as far as to give me a card and told me to email him your info.

On our way to Fort Scott! See everyone about 9.

Chad do we enter the same way as last year?

I think it's something in the valve train, I'm just glad it didn't quit out there on 435.

Dang, only 35 miles from Halls.

I hope it isn't the timing chain jumped and the pistons trashed some valves.

Had a brand new timing chain break on a 383 Mopar. Bent four intake and four exhaust valves. Rebuilt engine hadn't run twenty minutes.

ya timing chains breaking and destruction that follows is bad stuff

 

[67L36Driver]

If it is the standard performance engine you should be OK as the low lift cam has plenty of clearence with the valve heads.

Pop the distributer cap and spin the engine. If the rotor don't move, it's the timing chain/gear set.

If it's the old truck I remember, Ford 300 six, it wont have a timing chain, but gears. Least the old six cyls I had were that way.

383 was one of my favorites back in the old days.

 

[67L36Driver]

The 383 was a 325 hp. IIRC. In a '70 Dodge Challenger. Nose heavy. Swap ends on slick pavement in a heartbeat.

Sold it and bought a ten year old vet.

You should be able to backspace over it or right click on it & "cut" it out.
