Its Duplicolor Bronze Wheel Paint part # HWP105. I did not use any clear, but its not a total matte finish either. I'm happy with the results.

Washed the car and took a picture!

Can you provide some info on the vinyl you used? I was just looking at my tired old stock ones the other day. My paint doesn't look too bad, but those vinyl pieces, ugh

Washed the car after getting new tires on my freshly painted wheels. Not too bad for Duplicolor rattle cans.

When you let off the throttle it keeps the plate open for just a moment to burn off the mixture before dropping to idle. If its out of adjustment, you can have stalling issues coming off throttle.

No other signs that's I've seen so far. Gonna do some more digging into it this weekend. Part of me just wants to run emery cloth over the journal, replace bearings and drop it back in for now. This motor has been bored .040 over, so I don't think the block has any more rebuilds left in it. It...

It was worse than I thought....rod bearing # 2 is GONE but crank doesnt look too bad

After 10 months of sitting, I finally got the motor and transmission back out of the car. 1000 miles after the rebuild and i got some kind of slow knock. It was RPM related, but didn't sound as fast as a rod knock usually would. Compression and oil pressure were fine. No metal in the oil at all...

You can't move either one of the camshafts? If just the exhaust side is stuck, maybe the gear teeth on the CPS and the camshaft aren't lined up preventing you from turning them? Just spitballing here
