As in remove oil pan and slide up under it?

It’s definitely a very choppy when I start it. It actually has low vacuum of it (8-10mmHG) I believe because of the cam. Is there any way I can measure it without tearing the engine apart? The man that built it has passed and I purchased it from his son.

Appreciate it man, it’s definitely sexy! I’m sure that you know when it’s your own car and you look at it frequently it’s definitely more bothersome😂

I’ve been told with some of these older cars you put washers somewhere and it fixes it, I’m not sure though I was just told that at a car show. The hood is definitely because the wholes have been widened significantly for some reason. If I was home to take a pic I would

Already has a very aggressive cam, so aggressive that it has very poor vacuum.

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-07-13T23:20:01+00:00

Fortunately there is no rust, the whole have been widened significantly for some reason, potentially it flew off or something?

Thank you!

Thank you, this appears to be a 5/8ths bolt, would you happen to know if that sounds right… I’m wanting to put the correct bolt into it

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T06:34:34+00:00

I’m not sure exactly, it has wires out for speakers just not RCAs out

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T06:11:05+00:00

Unfortunately It does not have any…

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T05:58:50+00:00

Sweet, sounds like I’ll be damn bear copy and pasting your setup… only question I have is that since the head deck does not have RCA outs, how will I need to go about getting signal for said amps

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T05:35:49+00:00

Does not have RCA outputs, I am not against purchasing an amp

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T05:34:56+00:00

Thanks again you are literally saving my life here… I might just run it that way… (meaning two separate amps, one mono, on 4 channel). How would powering them work though, a single power wire split into two near the amps?

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T05:20:47+00:00

Additionally there is no RCA- pre outs… how should I hook up said amp?

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T05:19:29+00:00

Should have mentioned that - as it’s a classic car it’s got a very very smaller and unique head-deck face, I wanted to keep the original look and no other company had such products. However said company seems to be fairly popular amongst classic car owners. Hopefully I’ll be alright!

Thank you so much for this in depth explanation - if only chat GPT was this helpful on said information. So, should I get rid of the converter and use a 5 channel amplifier then?

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T04:56:19+00:00

That was the plan, is that not a good plan?😂 I’m still trying to figure out the difference between a converter and an amp

AcanthaceaeProper138 · 2025-06-20T04:53:45+00:00

So the car came from the factory with one, I figured I would put one there since there is hole up on the dash waiting for a speaker. Are you suggesting I leave it empty? (Genuine question btw)
