The manual on Ebay is OEM just to let everyone know.

Question: What is the best way to clean the block and some other parts? These parts have decades and inches worth of crap caked to them from leaks.

I need a crank pulley for a 3A-C if you have one. F*cked mine up taking it off...

Is this it?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll take a look at the crank tomorrow, I have a micrometer already, so I can measure myself. However, when I pulled the crank out, I found chunks of metal along the journal in front of cyl. 1. I've looked everything over again, and can't seem to find where the metal ...

OK, I figure I'm going to need some help with this (maybe a lot of help) and it just makes sense to have a thread for it that I (or someone else) can use for a guide.

I finally have the engine pulled and completely stripped down. I cannot afford to buy everything I need at once, so this is going ...

Wow, was the fault on the part of the vendor or the manufacturer? Are the pistons worth it if they come that out of spec? What do you mean by out of spec, even for the stock engine, weight matching? How much work was required to make the usable?

Hey Petros, where would you find the Sealed Power 1.00mm over stock type pistons? I didn't see them at Rockauto.com, they only had .020" from Beck/Arnley.

Thanks for the help, I'm going to end up naming this car after you.

Thanks for clearing all that up for me.

I *think* (I'm sure I'll change my mind a couple of times) that I'll go with the standard pistons, 1.00mm overbore and .020" decked off the head.

I got confused AGAIN, with the distributor. Since I have a 3A-C, does my dist. have both mechanical and vacuum ...

the weber carb is a one option that gives more power, but it is somewhat costly in my opinion. if you need to replace the carb anyway, it is a good way to go, but realize you still use the same intake manifold. But you can get a rebuild kit for the factory carb for only about $30, presuming the ...

Holy cow, thanks for the reply. I have so many questions, but my pillow is calling to me, so I'll be back tomorrow with them.

Thanks.

So, I may have missed it in the posts that I read, but what is needed or is best of the 3A-C? Vacuum, water, electric or manual choke when it comes to the Weber carb.?

Thanks. Anyone have any input on the valve train and intake manifold?

Ok, so I've decided to completely tear down my block after some serious knocking started. On of the things I've noticed is that the carb. is very anorexic and the intake manifold is not exactly ground breaking in design. I know that there is the Holly(?) carb. conversion, but I couldn't find the ...

They have 7 pages pf 3AC engines...higher ones are around $550...condition and miles are listed for some.

Thanks for the link. I think I may have found one semi-close to me. We'll see.
