Where do you get your chrome plating done?
Keep up the good work!

Thanks hard at it
A place called bright metals in the heights, they do great work. All that in the picks cost me 800.00, which wasnt a bad price.1930 model a , 1953 ford truck

Man that is a good price, hows about a heads up on them, maybe a phone number. I have a set of Desoto Hemi valve covers I need plated, mind you these valve covers are in very nice shape. No bends or kinks, they are media blasted and ready to go. The only plater I could find here in Alabama quoted me $725.00. Without seeing them, said the price could be as much as $200 higher depending on there condition. So all of your suspension parts for $800 bucks sounds sweet..

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
