Title: Are all barrel valves created equal?
Post by: Shaggy on May 13, 2018, 10:01:29 PM
What i mean is, i just bought a 2 port hilborn without a barrel valve assembly, can i throw a barrel valve off of a different injector on there? I realize the spool needs to be sized right to the application and ofcourse they have a different amount of outlets so can i just plug the outlets and go?

FYI this is for a vintage rebuild, i have a 329" olds that was girdled, blown and injected. I'm rebuilding into a weekend playtoy either fed or comp coupe. It'll probably be set up for race gas at this point

Out of curiosity did you just get this off eBay? My reason for asking is a coworker had one listed and I kept telling him to bring it in so I could look at it!

Yea i did, yesterday. I'm waiting for hilborn to get back to me, but it should be somewhere around 1960-61 production looking at serial numbers

I saw pictures of it and it looked really clean like very little use and stored in a dry area!

Well i get it in the mail tomorrow, but i already have the records back from hilborn. It was bought by "Archie's Garage" in june '59 for a 480" chrysler and says "bill Iskedarian" next to that. Well after doing a ton of research tonite i found Archie's garage was owned by Archie Ary and i'm guessing he must have been sponsored by isky since i was able to find a source saying he ran isky markings. He also founded the coulton drag strip in the 1950's.

Anyway i'm pretty sure i have photo's of it new now!

Probably a 1/8" overbore and 5/8 crank, they had bigger balls when it came to boring things back then

The effect is usually more pronounced with the higher doses of vitamin C commonly found in immunity supplements <a href=https://fastpriligy.top/>priligy 60 mg</a> NOTE Goserelin acetate or leuprolide acetate is given if patient is or becomes postmenopausal
