Chuck, you were right, there is no spring in the bottom hose. It probably disintegrated 20 ears ago!!

I decided to take advantage of the winter break and fit a new clutch. I just took off the hose, so now I know.

Is there anything you recommend I do while the engine is out? I was thinking of fitting tubular headers (to go with my Holley 4 barrell), and maybe a head recon. I dont know if it has ever had a recon of anything. It looks like its never been out since new. But the engine is running well, so I wonder if it is really worth it?

Chris,

You might not want to do the heads if the engine seems to have never been apart. I have found that reconditionling the heads on a high mileage engine will put more pressure on the old rings, and may lead to the rings going away in short order. If it is running OK now, I would suggest just letting it be till it seems tired, and rebuilding the whole engine at the same time.

Jose 🙂
