| Post subject: | Direct Connection Slant Six Racing Manual on eBay |
Has anyone seen a copy of this item? It was listed as a copy of an original, and I was watching it but missed buying it because I was at work. (Yet another reason I should quit to build slants full time...) I didn't think to save the item number, just wondering if anybody out there might know what pearls of wisdom lay within... |

This guy's been auctioning off photocopies of that manual for quite a long time, now. I bought one -- nothing that hasn't been reprinted over the years numerous times. No big secrets, and not much is relevant any more given the changes in technology and parts availability (plus and minus). But it makes an interesting 10 minutes worth of reading. |

Valve Guide Cutting To install the Racer Brown 957 ABC valve spring PN P3412068, or other race type valve springs, the inner spring seat needs to be narrowed and also its height of the guide needs to be cut down. See Figure 7 for details. It is also recommended that for the high lift cams, such as the Super Stock roller cams, that the stock valve guide height be shortened by .100". For Super Stock and fully modified drag race only engines, valve seals are not used but the valve guide clearance is decreased to .001 on both intake and exhaust valves. Is this what you're after? |

I just looked in mine, but it is the 1973 version and does not have the section on guide cutting. It kinda looks to me like the numbers are .88/.95. |

Checked a copy I got with some parts a few years back with a glass and blew up the screen copy for a look see as well. Looks to be .618". |
