The carb hasn't been messed with since I've had the car. I will look at the kickdown though. It kicks down perfectly at the speeds it says in the book. If I'm heavy on the gas it shifts nice and firm. Its just on light throttle that it's barely noticeable. In normal driving when taking off from...

I figured I would update everyone who helped out. I got a new aluminum radiator and put a new thermostat in. The car is running nice and cool now and the lifter tick has gone away. I'm gonna do an oil change and adjust the transmission bands since I don't know when they were last done. Any...

I'll definilty change the oil. Does anyone know about the ford explorer radiator swap? I read about it last year bit haven't been able to find anything since.

10W40. 97xxx on the odometer. It had new rings put in at 27,xxx for some reason

Alright I pulled both valve covers. Everything is nice and tight. Fired it up and noise still there but after letting it get warm the noise got better but was still faintly there. I shut it down after 10 minutes since the radiator is junk.

Here's it idling.

The oil is still full and doesn't seem scorched. No moisture in it either. The noise sounds like a valve tick. I'll try to get a video.

Last night I blew the radiator in my 66 Polara 383. I limped it a mile to the gas station and right as I was pulling into a parking space it started ticking at idle. I checked it with my temp gun and the radiator was at 200f and the thermostat housing and block was 210f. I shut it down and got a...

Hey that's my car.

Unfortunately the insurance lapsed last week and was gonna get it renewed next week on payday. I'm friends with who hit it so we settled up. It was an honest mistake so i'm not super mad, just disappointed. I got the doors taken care of with a dent puller this morning. They aren't perfect but...

My 66 Polara got rear ended and pushed into a phone pole. Luckily not as bad as I had first thought. I'm still very upset though.

I sure did haha. The original 10hp Wisconsin did the same thing.

1965 Bolens 1000. I repowered it with a Honda GX340. It mows, rototills, and plows snow here.

I did a few things you guys mentioned I checked the plugs and they are a perfect tan color. With it running I pulled both pcv and breather cap off and no fumes but a very tiny bit of smoke from the pcv side. I did clean the breather and It was pretty gunked up. I'm using 10W-40 but will be...

Yes they are stock covers with the baffle. I checked by taking it off and blowing/sucking on it.

I have no more valve cover leak but now I have oil coming from the breather/fill cap on my 66 383. I checked the pcv valve and it seems to be ok. Anyone have this happen before? Engine runs great and haven't had to add any oil .

I ended up buying a different cover. After checking it my original one was warped pretty bad. All is well now with a new Fel Pro rubber gasket. One of the bolts cross threaded and when drilling it to put a helicoil in I hit the water jacket but got that sealed up nicely and a fresh oil change.

And it's leaking again. It keeps blowing out between the 2 bolts towards the back with the 2 cork ones I've tried. Trying the rubber ones again.

I'm running hankook optimo h724 215/75R14s on my 66 Polara. 70,000 mile tread rating.

I popped the drivers side cover off and the gasket disintegrated. I picked up a cork one and so far so good.
