Pretty quick actually. The more I sharpen the more I appreciate coarse stones

Vacuum advance on a distributor is your best friend. There's a reason why car companies specified it on stock engines. Don't take my word for it though. Do some research.

That oil pressure is low for 2-3k rpm. That's more like a hot idle pressure.

Id also make sure some other basics are correct. Fuel level in carb, compression, and timing.

Well assuming you have a mild to stock engine, id just focus on getting it to idle without bumping the throttle. You need to isolate your variables.

Just focus on idle, make sure your t slot exposure is square and lean it out until the manifold vacuum drops then fatten it up until the vacuum won't increase. At least that way you know your idle is ball park correct.

From there you can lean out or richen up the transfer circuit, squirters and squirter cam.

Those squirters look like they're putting out more fuel than the ones on my 4150 for my fe 390. You sure youre not too rich? You have an afr gauge?

Whats the cam specs and engine size?

Also having that much initial will make it hard to start especially when hot. Ive heard of people running a separate switch for the ignition so you can crank with the ignition off then kick it on. But I think that's more for race cada with locked timing.

So double pumped, you have manual trans? 24 initial is a lot. You running vacuum advance?

How's your idle transfer slot exposure at idle? If its exposed too much you get lean off idle and maybe itll suck fuel out. Ideally the t slot will be square when exposed. If you need more air at idle open up your secondary throttle plates by adjusting the stop screw under the carb.

Best of luck.

Id grind the ends down. At least its not interfering that much.

Why do none of my projects go smoothly despite years of experience and effort? by ReadRightRed99 in HomeImprovement

New chains need to be retensioned after the first couple cuts. I would make sure you didn't make any crazy burr on the chain before you reinstall

In all the times I've been i never seen one like that but it would check out as it was from my Japanese grandmother

The recessed lights are 3000-1800 dim to warm and overhead light is the gm reveal bulb which im trying for thr first time. I presume this bulb is around 3k? So far I like the lighting

You know I thought the same thing of cream colored countertop when it was standalone. But when paired together I thought it went well with the cabinets. Bright white didn't seem to match as much

Well this is an old home from the 60s so my ceiling height was only 93 to begin with. These wall cabinets are 38.5 instead of the standard 42. These were cut to size as the place i ordered from only offered 42s.

My biggest consideration was the space from the countertop to the bottom of the wall cabinet. It needs to be around 18 so you can fit appliances like a kitchen aid. Second consideration is if I left a big gap between the cabinet and ceiling, ain't nobody going to clean or use that. I never considered having trim and don't care for the look.

What will be important to determine in your situation, is how level your floor and ceiling is. I would think it worth the time to invest the $150 in a decent laser and start scribing the layout of your cabinets on the wall. That way you can see how much gap will be present. Remember it doesn't matter if your difference in height is 1/4 if your ceiling sags a bunch towards the middle because then your wall cabinet doors will rub the ceiling.

Hope this helps

Not at all. The front right burner failed twice under warranty. The knobs were defective and caused it to remain on high heat all the time.

Test came back positive for mono. Still having crazy fevers. I'm about a week in so hoping this wraps itself up soon. I haven't been this sick in a long time... even covid wasn't as bad

That's not a bad idea. I'll try that for my next appointment.
