Both the block deck and the head deck have in excess of 100 thou taken off them. The cold cranking Compression is indicative of that. The details Faron used was the 1970 Fords Performance yearbooks article, which Uncle Chop shared over at HAMB. I shared it again back in late 2014, early 2015.

If you have moved from Farons three carb 1904/1101 combo, then your Weber will be subject to a lot of intake Vaccum, and its normally needle and seats and emulsion tubes that causes the richness.

The cam is very close to 470 thou lift, so don't be supprises if there has been valve to piston contact.

Good fortune with your rebuild. Copy what Farons did with your combination. You can be sure that the homework was done. If you need more piston to valve clearance, try a thicker composite gasket like Victor Reinze.

Well I can now tell everyone exactly what the problem was.
I got my old head back took 60 thou off and like bubba said I ended up with the head at 51 cc’s as close as I can measure it. Got everything and installed and the engine works great.
As for the other head I removed the number 1 intake valve and you don’t even need a machinist to measure this to see how bad this is. You can easily see play of the valve stem in the guide. 'You can actually move it around some. Faron started out with a new head and only dragged the car. It took a beating. Maybe someday I’ll have it fixed.

Again I would like to thank everyone with their opinions.
Now to get it tune up and take a trip to the track.

Congrats and be sure to let us know how the car runs at the track.
