OK, I finally got the engine back in my CA78 after the head work. I am having trouble getting her started. I set the valves and points (per Ed's specs). She tries to catch but occasionally misfires and the best I can do is get her to rough idle at half choke for about 30 seconds before stalling. Ed:...

Ed,

Good talking with you. Hope you are feeling better.

I left you a voicemail today Give me a shout at 717.747.4575 between 7am and 5 pm eastern.

Ed,

What would the total cost be for the head rebuild ($150) plus a cylinder hone and shipping back to 17403? I've got a lot of travel coming up and the kid's high school graduation so it might be mid/end of june before I can get it to you. THanks.

Hi Ed,

With respect to the valves, I want to be sure they seat correctly and the guides are in good shape. If not, repair/replace. Thanks for the ring part number.

I am looking for a good machine shop in the Central PA area that can hone the cylinders and reseat the valves. I figure that while I have the cylinders off I might as well get the valves looked at, too. Also, does anyone have the appropriate part number for stock size rings for this '66 CA-78? Thank...
