General Discussion / Solid valve adjustment - DZ 302
« on: May 30, 2011, 12:44:45 PM »
Typically speaking, how often is valve lash adjustment required for the solid lifter DZ motor?
I've adjusted hydraulic valves before but never solid lifters.....I would think they are similar. Any recommended tech procedures out there on this topic?
BTW: I've read it's best to set them cold at .026"/.026" for a more stable idle, better sound, and improved throttle response. Any comments?

Yes, my intent is to reduce the maintenance issue associated with a mechanical points style dist. I had to laugh when Richard mentioned the part about being stretched out across the engine at this stage of the game...can definitely relate to that! I can clearly remember having to replace one set of the dual points on my cousin's 70 Hemi Challenger late one night on the side of the road with a flash light, that was not fun, and the dist was in the front of the engine!
Anyway Gentlemen, thanks for all your valued input.

General Discussion / 69 Z Ignition Upgrade
« on: May 23, 2011, 11:33:15 AM »
I'm considering upgrading the stock ignition system on my 69 Z to a maintenance free style distributor. A question for you mechanic techies ...is that just a matter of removing the old "points type" and dropping in the new magnetic pick up distributor?
thanks!
thanks!
