What would cause this piston slap on a newly rebuilt engine?
I would be checking ring gaps too just for fun.

Z's on BAT and other places collection
They look pretty cool going around the Daytona race track at 200 MPH though.

That looks like a small block mopar in the crashed Z. Wonder if it has an 833 behind it?

Hey 87mj! I only live about 4 miles from Gas City speedway. Update: Saturday I checked float level and set them a 9/16. Pulled both carbs to verify the throttle blades were closing all the way. Reinstalled both carbs but left off all the linkage including choke cables. Fired it up and had to actually turn the idle screws to get it to idle at 800 rpm. Reinstalled all the linkage and still have good idle so evidently it was linkage related but I can’t see anything different. Time to start putting some miles on it!

I haven’t put a timing light on it yet but I seriously doubt it has 20 initial.

I'm going to check the float level again this weekend. What kind of initial timing is eveybody running with todays pump gas? My 360 Duster likes 16-20 initial which is way more than the factory recommended.

The pistons look to fall at the same rate. I went through the carbs myself with the help of the ztherapy video replaced nozzles and needles. I have the nozzles down about 4 turns to run decent so that tells me there is a problem somewhere lol! The car does have a Clifford header so I would assume it needed richened some from stock settings probably not 4 turns though.

Been putting a few miles on the Z after getting the brakes working correctly over the weekend. Car seems to drive well although I can't get it to idle below 1500 RPM. Idle screws are backed out all the way, been spraying carb clean around everything looking for vacuum leaks to no avail.

Palco/Dashpot panels
I bought them for my 72 from the Z Store and the fit is not great but what choice do you have?

Parts Wanted: Rear Brake Cylinder part
I needed one for my 72 as well. I bought a cheaper 73 cylinder from Rock Auto and robbed the wheel from it as I had already rebuilt my original cylinder.
