Update of what i replaced.. To try to get running better ..
1 = New valve springs and seals
2 = Cam and lifter's. ( Summitt Cam = 2801) Cam i took out ended up being a Comp cam 252h
3 = Timing Chain
3 = New screw in 7/16 rocker studs, so i can adjust rockers. (1/2 turn down from zero lash)
4 = Comp cam roller tip rockers 1.5 ratio
5 = New Melling stock length push rods. ( one of the old one's was bent)
6 = Carb kit from Cliff with new bigger primary jets and power piston rod's.
Well car is better,, still chasing spark knock which gets pretty bad in hot city driving,,Have initial set at 8 and i backed down my adjustable vacuum advance to 6 inch to help.. Think its coming on to easy and fast... But plan on pulling out the Chinese Distributor and put a better one in that is on order.
Today car was not to bad after i put in the correct carb jets , but after a hour of sitting and i go back out and start car its just the opposite = rough idle,.. Ended up readjusting mixture screws again and had to raise idle speed up. 1/8 turn on screw...
Car is very touchy and a mind of its own...
At this point im not sure yet if im still chasing a carb issue or engine issue. = breaths hard out tube to air cleaner..
