What is the best solution to removing the down draft tube? Can we just put a PVC valve in its place and still run the vented oil fill cap? Can it be eliminated without modifying the valve covers?
Also, we installed a GM HEI using a Hot Hemi Heads adapter and want to make sure we are setting the timing right. Hot Hemi Heads are out of the office this weekend, so no answers from them and we did our best to interpret their written instructions. We put the number 1 cylinder at top dead center, then bumped it 8 degrees advanced. Set the HEI in with the rotor pointing to number one on the cap. Question is: is it that simple? The timing ended up exactly like the original distributors setting, so does the HEI work the same, vacuum advance and all?
Just want to make sure we aren’t missing something.
