I did. I noticed the starter is wiggling for lack of a better term when cranking. The starter is tight too. Have a feeling something is broken. Just don't know what yet.

My 340 won't start. It also cranks very slow and gets starter hot with key on after continually attempting to crank. If I disconnect the coil or just jump it at solenoid with key off, it cranks normally. So basically for some reason when the motor is firing or attempting to fire it sounds like...

I will do that sir! Thanks!

I will look for my cam card. Definitely a solid roller cam. So, is it .020 or .015? I am getting different recomendations.

True that! Glad I don't own one!

Haven't even pulled it yet. Motor may not survive. It has the Coronet virus.

Sorry. Been super busy at work. I will post replies soon!

My car has the Charger style flip cap that says fuel on it. I'd say that thing is kn b not air tight. ShouldX ls suffice for a low pressure return. I've actually been messing with cars since '85. They were always Chevies though. My 'Cuda is the first one I attempted silly go fast stuff with...

I am a 100% in agreement with you. Awesome response! Does it matter if my return line is rated for high pressure for future install of Sniper?

Yes I am aware of that. My point is that if I am going to route another fuel line underneath car and back to tank then I am going the extra mile and buy a Sniper unit. Also, I do not need a return line at the moment because my electric pump isn't set at enough pressure to warrant one. What I am...

Yes the compression noise is only during extreme slow cranking. I plan on pulling heads and getting valves, seats and springs examined by Owens Racing Engines in Pearland. If these heads are junk I have a back up set of X-heads with adjustable rockers.

Would the correct year be a 69 engine then, or would it be a 68 model block? Does it matter if it came out of a Coronet?

I remember being told zero lash but I went with .010 because I know with heat metal expands. I did a compression check a while back ago on driver's bank. I want to say 170 psi was average. Haven't done passenger bank yet. I will say that #1 exhaust and #4, and #6 exhaust will at sometimes stay...

I used 4 gauge on ground and ran it from battery to transmission bellhousing by starter. Positive is also 4 from battery to starter. I can hear compression leaving the cylinder during slow cranking. That's normal though right?
