Hi list! after 22 years, the roadster is again a going, if somewhat wobbly
concern! I am having several problems, which the collective list may be
able to shed some light on. First I brought the car here from new york to
new mwxico and am now at 6500 feet elevation. I have a street grind isky
cam and header, but the car starts without choke and runs very rich. do I
need leaner jets? also the oil pressure is only about 15 pounds at idle, but
gets 65 or better at 2500 rpm, suspect gas contamination or is low pressure
at idle related to the external oil pressure line feeding the valve train,
( necessary due to some obstruction at cam bearing oil feed to valves)
also, with the isky cam the valve timing calls for .015 Hot and I did set it
last at the stock setting which I believe is .012 cold??? just found that
out this morning and will correct asap. thanks for listening, any and all
advice is apreciated. Rob Burnett tcf 2722L 1963 tr3b
