So you are suppose to have a C263 and you are running the 93 , OK lets start off with pulling the valve cover and adjusting the valves BY THE BOOK , engine warm and any thing over 70 degrees will be fine . Look at the rocker arms closely and you will see that THEY DO NOT set dead on over top of the valve stem . The tip of the rocker arm wares and when your adjusting the valves you want the feeler gauge under the waer point to get the best reading or feel . Set the valves to .027 with a light drag , now each of us has a different feel as to light drag. You may have to go over them a couple times to get the tickers quieted down. Next what plugs ya running in it ??, my choises are a C86 A/C or a 3116 Autolite . Next a solid copper core plug wire Packard 440 wire Next check the timing and on a C263 it should be 23 degrees advance AT FULL throttle . I clean up the ft. pully so i can see the marks and then i use a WHITE PAINT STICK to mark the 23 degree mark for easier reading with a timing light. Also if yo are not up on how to check the dist. fro proper advance curve function then find and old timer that has a dist. machine and have the dist checked for proper curve. and repair as needed. Next make sure that you have good fuel flow from the fuel tank to the carb and that you do have the screen in the sed. bowl no other fuel filter is needed. an last run a compression check on a running temp engine and see what you have for compression . Since i can not do the checking myself it is going to be up to you . Only once in my liffe did i ever have to use low second to pull 4x16's and that was on a farm that had not been plowed in over 35-40 years and had over a hundred head of beef cows run on it year round and before that the only thing that had ever plowe that ground was a team of horses and a 2 N ford with 12 inch plows . Now i am not sayen that the ground was hard BUT when i dropped the plows into that ground the first thing that happened was that the fire went out right now and i tried 3rd low with the same results and when i dropped down into second low i sheared off the four bolts that held the fast hitch to the belly . The 700 lbs i had on the nose was not enough and the 1000 that i put on was still not enough and the extra two wheel weights that i hug on with a chain still did not hold the ft. on the ground going up the hills . The ground did not roll off the moldboards it came up in huge chunks and was a bear to disc the first year. I also had to pin the trips so they would not trip with grade two bolts just incase i did find a rock. If you want to talk with me on the phone then let me know an i will give you my E/Mail addy and then send you my Ph. #.
