Last time I took the drums in the rear apart I couldn't remember how to put them back together. I even had the manual. Drums used to be second nature. 

Way cool! Bolt stretch for the win!

I can't believe you guys did not know that!  I learned about it in Jr High science class. - - - I'm 82 now.

Me too! Actually it was a small engine repair class.

I really like the performance of the hydro, but just can’t get around all the plumbing stuff everywhere.

My thoughts exactly. Way too many failure points. Although, like TKO said, I do like the hydro on my f-250

Just the 3 of us + RPM?

Sign me up!

It pains me (literally) to tell all that the Zilik's will not be able to make the bash. I canceled hotel reservations this morning. I hated to do that.

The issue. Middle of June I started having sciatica pain. By mid August it was getting worse. August 29 X-rays showed nothing. Sept 3 MRI showed the problem. A cyst in the L4-L5 region pressing on the spinal cord.

Procedure to deflate cyst and inject good stuff is this Thursday.

Have a great Bash

Try advancing timing until you just hear it ping under hard acceleration, then back it off 1-2 degrees.

If you change springs to allow earlier or later full advance, you’ll have to do it all over again.

Some camshaft manufacturers have a suggested initial timing in install instructions.

The problem with the "Just Hear It Ping" method is that some of us can't hear.

Well a new TFI module did the trick. Started right up again. Put the new coil and took it for a spin.
Tightened the water pump bolts. Will see if it still leaks.
 

Excellent. Now please come and Thrash my 67 for me.

Missing you already. RIP Josh.
