[MOPAR Flathead 6 - Adjusting valves quick and accurately]

 

Here is a graphic I did that some may find useful here. This is for folks that are going to take the time to do a true TDC adjustment. Using this method you only have to set up 2 TDC firing cylinders and you can adjust every valve. This will allow for proper hot or cold, clean feeler, precision work. Some will be surprised to see some valves come up more than once, don't be and, no, you can don't have to do them twice. The technique is close to 100 years old and I am always surprised how few people know about it. 

 

For those that do their tuning on running tappets this will be of no use. 
For those that have their distributors mounted in an non standard position, fix it before using this guide.

Enjoy

[1934 Dodge DR Convertible Coupe - The Phantom]

I just realized that someone had asked for a picture of the car with the door window/frame cranked down and the windshield folded forward.
Here you go

Always wanted to try a set of these. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the rubber boots, really excellent. I would say the kit is great quality.

1934 Dodge Dr 6 Wheel Convertible Coupe - The Phantom

This car has been cared for by four generations and, as a result, runs like a champ.

.
With only little more than 1,200 ever being produced by Dodge, it is truly one of the rarest early models of Dodge extant. The Phantom is powered by a 218 cu in. 3.6 liter Straight Six producing around 160 ft lbs 87 hp. One of the more interesting features of this model is that all the window frame hardware can be cranked down into the body and the windshield folded forward, leaving a completely flush, uninterrupted steel torpedo of a body. There is a full rumble seat in the rear.
