How many Mopar owners does it take to screw in a distributor?
Mine taught me how ignorant I was as a young man. Oil priming? never heard of such thing, but boy I learned the hard way. Fresh rebuild, installed, fired up, backed out for a quick spin, heard clattering, quickly brought back to garage. nervous and stumped, I asked somebody what`s up and was informed it needed primed and was told to pull oil pump and pack with Vaseline. I went through the nightmare of dropping pan enough to barely get to it- couple of inches- and reinstall. It worked, whew! that`s when I became a firm believer in mechanical oil pressure gauges.
Said engine , heavy rig truck, soon sunk the exhaust valves. Bought a rebuilt set off a machine shop and also learned of exhaust seats. Boy sometimes we learn the hard way:lol:
