I need a stock iron neck, must not have any or much inside corrosion. Thanks, Dick Eastman

Anybody know the exhaust manifold casting numbers for the high performance version?

Thanks for the input. When it actually goes into a car, changes will be made then.

Thanks, Mark. You can see the whole build on the Honda 305 Forum. Go to "250 and 305 Motors", then page 7, 8th thread down. It's called "engine build- slowly but surely". Lots of pics. I put a Honda CX 500 front end on this bike. Also page 11, 7th thread down is a thread where I cannibalized 3...

My '66 Honda 305 then and the one I built a few years ago now.

I bought a Perma-Cool "sandwich oil adapter" that is used with their oil coolers. It is mounted between the spin-on adapter and the filter and has two 3/8 NPT holes to install a hose barb oil line hose. I ran the two lines into a manifold I made so that the oil temp sending unit is now in the...

I did put on a spin-on adapter - just doesn't show in the pic. I may have to make as you suggest - it would look factory. I agree. That's why I'm considering better alternatives - and why I value the collective expertise here on this forum. As they say, "back to the drawing board".

Just took these. The "T" that I made has 1/4 NPT on end and two sides. The 1/2 NPT has the oil temp sender in it. The sender "bulb" is about 3/8" diameter and goes through the 1/2NPT fitting. The tap drill size for 1/2NPT is .718", and reaches to the 1/4NPT fittings, one of which goes to block...

Without draining the oil right now to measure, what is the thread size for the drain plug? The oil did get to 145, but took a while to get there, maybe 20 mins. I'll post a pic of the "T" I made. I just don't know how much flow is present.

Been awhile since I had that plate off - "splash" lubrication on pump arm, I believe Drain plug hole, or bulkhead-type fitting in the side of pan?

Open to suggestions for mounting an oil temp sending unit, a mechanical style. Stewart warner instructions vague, other than being in oil flow. I've heard of oil filter base adapters and drain plug adapters. I don't know if there is enough flow behind the block-off plate for mechanical fuel pump...

Why so much? I haven't found anything in my 1961 passenger car factory shop manual.

How much vertical play should a stock 348/409 distributor have? Dick

I forgot to mention that I did have to use my adjustable pump rods on the end carbs to get my setting. See the above pics. Dick

The following pics are the pcv. The plug in the intake is where the old road draft tube was. The aluminum piece coming from that has a 1/2-20 hole in it that the pcv screws into. It originally had 1/2" nipples on both ends. The right- angle hose comes off the nipple on left side pcv, and up and...
