That's a whole other question if I have the skills to do it. I just want to know if these rotating assemblies are built for that kind of running.Quote:

5700 thats almost the sweet spot with 26 pitch you should be going 70 +
Good to know, guys. Thanks.

@6000 you will be tired,and ready to go home before the 2liter is!!
1987 2.0l 150...
Didn’t want to start a whole new thread for this...
Motor’s been running pretty well the last three years or so as I slowly uninstall various “bugs” put in by previous owners. Just fixed a float that was sagging too low and probably not closing all the way when full. Now it runs even better (smoother idle). Though it didn’t seem to hurt the mid-high end.
So anyway on to the next question... the link bar that connects the throttle cam to the throttle arm... How do you take that mofo off, and is there spec for how far you adjust the link bar? I have the factory service manual and it says nothing about in the link and sync section.
Where would I look in the manual for information on how to remove and adjust it?

That dude should just unscrew from timin arm. I always bottom the threads out then loosen it a few turns , if u leave it tight it wont work rite
ya gotta pull throttle/timin' arm, rod and cam off as an assembly.. then ya can unscrew all tha pieces..........
Isn’t it risky when you pull off the throttle arm that that spring will detach and uncoil and it will be a PITA to get it all back together again? Or can you keep it together as long as your careful?Quote:

tha half moon is outside tha assembly.. it has oppsite bent tangs on each end.. one tang goes in a hole on tha block and tha other tang goes ina hole in tha throttle arm part around tha 9/16 bolt and bushing.................
That half moon sounds like it could be a PITA to get back together again. Or is it? And whyTF doesn’t the factory manual talk about it? :confused:Quote:

donno why it doesn't???
Or u can add a spring to head bolt like hipo motors , that's what I did. Its snaps back better without putting to much tension. I actually forgot about the half moon one , I have a 150 with it still on but others I never put back, prob just forgot bout it b honest, or gone when I got em
