- Hello Folks,
I drove Betsy to central Oregon last Monday to assist my brother Jeff get his 68 Torino running. Last September I helped him tear down the engine for an Edelbrock top engine kit upgrade.

This trip I'm helping him get it sorted out and running. Of course, nothing goes as planned. Betsy, on the other hand, drove beautifully.

It says in the timing gears instructions you don't need the spacer. It is built into the cam gear. They put instructions in the box for a reason.
😂😂😂
Did not see instructions, parts came as a kit from Edelbrock. As he said, internet dumbness on display.
Thanks Bruce.
It's in there too
My dad had a 69 t bird with a fe engine. 429 i think it use to bend push rod all the time. One of my first experience with engine's. Long time ago.
@@michaelpagliarini4785 - Thanks Michael
FYI a 429 is a 385 series big block. FE is like all them other smaller ones 352, 360, 390, 406, 410, 427 & 428 if I remember correctly.
What was causing the bent push rods?
@@donsmanufactory if I remember correctly I think was sticky valves, carbon build up .
great catch on the idler arm, big bump steer issue. Nice looking car. did the car come standard with a double timing chain? In my car I switched to double chain and it too had clearance issues that I had to accommodate. I have to laugh as you have the same relationship with your older brother as I do. Calls me over to help on his 69 fairlane Cobra
Hi Wally, I’m pretty sure it had the silent type with nylon cam gear. Twas really sloppy.
My bro is a practical joker, I have to stay on my toes around him.
