Stuttering Stanley
Well here he is in all his glory.....
I think im going to name it Stuttering Stanley....
I picked it up in Stanley Va from a real nice guy who had a ton of old cool vehicles.....he said hes built his share of 350s and really wasnt worried about a 4wd so i got it at a decent price.....
I got it home and noticed the points had been robbed so naturally i dropped in an hei just to make me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing i wouldnt be chasing a spark issue.....
got it to fire up and idle but was stuttering so bad when dropped into gear the first thing my dad said was oh boy we got stuttering Stanley gonna give us a challenge and it stuck.....
a carb rebuild (quadrajet) and about 3hrs of chasing vacuum lines and we were still missing pretty good so it was time to pull the valve covers and sure enough one rocker was barely "rocking"........cam time.....smh
after pulling the cam i see two lobes are completely wiped......damn
ordered a set from summit and it showed up yesterday (sum-1103).....
got lifters in it tonight and tomorrow we put the rest back together.....
wish me luck and ill update sometime this weekend
