Pretty sure I found what’s causing the miss in my 68 327 . Exhaust valve number 5 cylinder don’t look right rocker sits way to high at TDC . My guess is wiped cam lobe and or valve recessed into the head

She's still rusty but the driver's side door has all new rubber and felt along with a wing glass rebuild. Now to get the passenger side done.
Also adjusted the door to get the gaps consistent and it open/closing like it should. That was probably the biggest pain. |

Put in a new light switch, now its not so touchy when I have the dash lights turned up all the way. Often when I turned on my cab light, the dash lights would go off and had to wiggle the knob a few times to get them back on.
I also replaced the upper chrome tailgate trim clap thingys, so the trim isn't loosey-goosey anymore! |

Got a new air filter, while I wanted a K&N I was able to get this Spectre air filter from O'Riley's and insure it fit okay on my Qjet. Reviews are mixed and I could have gotten it a lot cheaper online but I don't mind being able to support my local O'Riley's store.
I also had an annoying mismatched back bumper bolt, it had a slightly different shape head and then it wasn't chrome and rusting. I ended up just getting a 4-pack of bumper chrome bolts. None of the ones I took off had lock washers. Now I don't have to look at that ugly rusty mismatched bolt! Nice and all shinny now :-) I tell you what, the fun factor on driving my truck has increased immensely in the last few weeks. With the newly rebuilt carb, new Progression Ignition, moving the throttle cable's pivot point (on carburetor bracket), and my new filter I can just about take off sideways! It is very satisfying working on the truck and seeing, hearing, feeling positive results. |

Well done Richard, glad you're happy with it, it looks great.

Slowly getting my 67 fixed up. A long neglected work truck is starting to look much better.
