Been wanting to replace the cam on the 2F. Going back to stock profile so I can get my vacuum decent, before I go TBI. Finally got a time. Need to press cam out of timing gear and press in new cam tomorrow at work. Then start reassembly.
What are you working on?

All new belts. Which I didn't do when I replaced the alternator because they didn't arrive in time. It was Dumb to nit just wait to do it all at once. It was Also dumb to try and do it without pulling the battery box. Yes it can be done but you end up bloody and have a sore back so you can save 10 minutes.

Yep that is the injector tip. There was no conceivable way to pull it out, so i had to tap it through into the cylinder and get it out through the spark plug port with the magnet / borescope.

Thinking about quicker release awning stuff. What do you guys think of these? Anyone ever used something like this? This way I can keep my exact mounting setup just super easy to remove the 4 nuts holding the awning to the mounts

Ive not used those or seen them in the wild. Seems like a good solution and I like that they are of decent size. Basically to remove break it with a wrench or socket use push button to slide off. To put on slide on by hand, hand tighten then snug down with wrench or socket. Maybe add a lock washer to the process so when driving it doesn’t shake loose???Thinking about quicker release awning stuff. What do you guys think of these? Anyone ever used something like this?

If you dont have a 270 awning I think something like this would work better and I'm sure you could make something. Pins would be the easiest IMO
