I broke a Manley 13093 valve lock. Summit and Jegs have ship dates of 8/26 on this item. I plan on calling Manley tomorrow but not sure if they will be much help I found my lower ball joints (actually upper ball joints) moving up and down a half inch and replaced them with MOOG today. have yet to get the little grease fitting to screw in after a half hour of trying. pulled the headers out to goop them up with red permatex in hopes they seal exhaust leaks. didn't know I didn't need to pull the oil pump to change cams, which turned into dropping the pan for the 3rd time in 3 weeks. I'm stupid I have showered and changed clothes 3 times, I'm a puddle of mud right now. if anyone happens to have the valve locks I need, would you be willing to ship them to me and I'll buy you new ones(depending on what Manley tells me tomorrow) the clock is ticking, and I'm getting nervous. Person I worked with for past 8 years quit and I'm trying to do the job of 2 people at work also.

Glad you found them, Keep your head up, and call if you need an extra set of hands.

If you could just hose me down with cold water while I'm working that would be great, but there is no cold water in south Carolina in august

But that is the advantage living where you don't have to HEAT your house in the winter...We get to burn all of our $$$ in the winter here at 10°! Not to mention what snow removal equipment costs...
Good luck, and I am routing for you. Kicked A$$ last year, and really made a lot of us very happy to see you win..Wish they would have covered your car more in the vids...

Is that a little anemic Eddy carb on that engine? Most guys are running some pretty good size carb on them. How did you do the ignition set-up?
I just love when people hate on my carbs. for years everyone told me to take the six pack off, now its take the edelbrock off.
I have the MSD hemi 6 on it
Not hating on it, but my understanding is the G3's prefer more carb than most conventional thinking would call for. What size is it? And I am pretty sure you ran a pair of them on your previous wedge combo...They take a little tinkering just like any carb. I am not famialiar with their Thunder series carbs either, just the old style ones.
On the ignition is it user programable? use setup the entire curve?

it has a timing curve that you can change. retard. rev limiter. map curve. works good
