QA1 Front Shock Trouble, & Leaking Front Wheel ?

[Aubrey N Bruneau]

Before I ask any more of my stupid questions, I just want to say THANK YOU for putting up with me ! I mean really, I could very well be the lousiest Stock / Super Stock racer of all time. But what the heck, if I can get there, I add to the car count.

I'm trying to get my car ready ( missed Ashcroft because of an issue with me front seat ) for Edmonton on the 24th. So far, it looks like it may happen. Howver, as always, a few unexpected glitches.
These QA1 front shocks, single adjustable. I had them set on the loosest extension setting. Not productive. Front pops up... and the suspension rides topped out for most of the track.
stupid
Need it to settle down by half track anyhow. So, I was trying to adjust these things. One seems to have adjusted fine. The other, is now practically seized up ( suspension EXTREMELY rigid, up and down ). My question is, if I blow even MORE money for another, or maybe another pair of these things, is there a good chance that I will receive a pair that function properly ? In my location, parts are at least one-week ordeal, so I have to get on it.

The other thing... my front wheels.
I parked my car last November 2nd. I put it up on blocks, and deflated the tires. It sat like that until a few hours ago. I should mention that the wheels are American Racing Trackstars.
Anyhow, I pumped up he tires. Set the car down. Left front is leaking. Thought it was just the bead. Pumped it to 40 PSI. Leaking seemed to stop. 20 minutes later, leaking again.
I find out that it's not the bead. It's the wheel. The wheel is allowing air to escape, in the middle, where the center section bolts together. If this is just a matter of the silicone sealer having a leak between the two halves, that's nothing serious. My concern is that the wheel is cracked.
Is anybody familiar with the construction of these wheels ?
I don't need a front wheel flying apart at 120+ MPH.

Oh, and unrelated to this... In getting my car ready for IHRA, I am re-installing my roller rocker arms ( I DO have trouble with stamped ones ). I have 15 Comp Cams P/N 1320 Pro Magnum BBC 1.7 rockers ( one was damaged ). I'm in need a of a couple to comlplete my set ( they have only 3 hours on them ).
Can anybody help me out with a couple of these Comp 1320 rockers ?

thanks guys ( and gals )
