POR 15 application in framerails
I disagree here john. I have had a rusty 72 gmc truck frame outside of my poll shed for 8 years. I sprayed it with por15 back then. It still solid and has not shown any signs of further rust damage. Now there was no holes just surface rust mind you.

Calling all triple carb experts
Timing should be around 34-36 all in run 91+ octane. No vacuum advance. If connected to a log vacuum source its not a strong enough signal. It will scatter timing all over at cruise. Here is my setup if i can tune this in for 400+ hp you can do a N/A l24 Here is the complete list of idle jet air bleed holes in order from rich to lean F6 (richest), F12, F9, F8, F11, F13, F2, F4, F5, F7, F1, F3 (leanest)

running lean?
I am rethinking this a little i think i might be to rich on the top end as after the last pull i can removed said deposits down to factory color/material. They look kinda wet when i remove them as well. The car runs like a farking top. Prior to this i was running Su's with sm needles so those might have been what was running rich. Plugs looks okay nice and tan.

running lean?
Pistons tops seem to be covered in a white ash....taking a q tip to them cleans them down to the factory color. I am running way to lean on the top end? triple webers just installed today. Fully rebuilt. Car pulls and runs like no tomorrow it may be if i burn a piston . 200 air 140 main 33 choke 4.5 venturi.

spindle pin lock bolt
i will try the removal of the pin and see how far the lock bolt goes then but i can see in the hole the new lock bolt made a gouge in there.

spindle pin lock bolt
hm.... shinning a light down there reveals a perfect slot. tap the pin one way and its not anymore if you get what i am saying. it will go down about half way just enough for the threads to come out the bottom. I cant for the life me get it in any further with bfh or without.

spindle pin lock bolt
One of the lock bolts wont go back into place. Yes the pin is in the right way. Seems to be carving a new hole when i pound it in. Like it has a bur on it but it does not. So should i ream the hole or sand the bolt and try again.
