HEy la360...I'm going to shorten the distributor so the carb will be a 4150, I've got a 700DP on it right now and it runs well with it but it's too big. Will probably go to a 600DP with one to one linkage for circle track.

And I think I got the block sealed. I used a product from down under called Seal-Up - sodium silicate with copper filings in it, no it's more like copper dust. I wonder if you can leave that stuff in the engine while racing? The can of K&W sodium silicate sealer says don't drive or "race engine" with it in, I wonder why?

I think I have used that sealer before, as a matter of fact. We had a small crack in a J head along one of the welsh plugs. I will have to dig up the container and check that out. We haven't had any dramas with it since.
