Re: 41 pickup deck assembly

Hello Kube, thanks for your reply and great pics. My deck 'sub-frames' are pretty much the same as yours....just not as pretty, at the moment. My main query is the 'tightness' of the sub-frame rails...

Re: Hard time starting with electric starter, easy with crank

Do you have a ground strap between the engine and firewall? This is very important, and if not, will cause the problem you are having.

Re: 18-and 21A rods interchange?

I would be going with the 18 rods. The 21A rods will fit but are heavier and will cause balance issues.

Re: spark plug wire conduit ID?

Re: Stuck Valve

Make sure that the cam lobe is on the 'heel'. The valve beside the stuck one should also be open. Keep in mind also, that these valves bend very easily.
