Hey guys,
Have finally got the old girl running again, link below is a quick youtube clip of it running after cam break in.
https://youtu.be/eLL32a7krGY
Have got a couple of things to finish this week and will hopefully get it on the road this weekend, will try to get some better videos then.
The cam break in went without a hitch and I was surprised at how well it idles considering I have not done any tuning at all yet, should be able to smooth it out with some mixture changes and setting the timing. At the moment its pulling 12" of vacuum at 850rpm
- 1964 XM Falcon
- 221 6 cylinder from XW Falcon

- Clay Smith solid cam, 292/292 advertised, 240/240 @ .050", 110 LSA, .527" lift, 5° advanced

- Dual valve springs, SBF lifters, one piece pushrods
- DUI distributor, re-curved by Bill Ambler
- Balanced rotating assembly
- Romac harmonic balancer
