Slow build 71 Scamp 440
Ok a lot has happened since last post.
Timing set has arrived and was installed,
Oil slinger installed and cover installed.
Water pump housing and pump installed.
Fuel pushrod and galley plug installed. Went to National Moparts for a ton of hardware and some hard to get parts. Reconditioned the valley hold down plates. Also my rockers arrived yesterday and will be installed today.
Direct connection balancer installed also.
Problem areas.
Pulley’s are way out of alignment and touching. Photos added.
This is the problem when you collect parts over the years and then put them together years later lol
Plugs and heater core inlets on pump ordered and are wrong. But I believe I have the answer to move forward. 2 5/8’s inlets and 9/16 and 1/4 Assuming the 1/4 is the sensor. 5/8’s the heater core inlets? 9/16 plugged?
I’ll try and measure the pushrods after install of the rockers and get them ordered. I’ll have questions on that when the time comes. I’m sure there will need to be preload of some sort.
I’ll be sending out my Demon 750 single pumper to a friend to go through. Not sure it will be adequate for the job but that’s his department. Possible rebuild and jetting.
All in all a good couple of days.
