Advice Needed - Can't Start Rebuilt 273

Sorry sick, there I go again, giving you advice that doesn`t pertain to your application. To make it relevant the spacer does remove the hydraulics of the lifter, (in your case you wouldn`t need it). I was recalling doing the test on my 340 not taking into account that your car had solid lifters. What the test will show you though is the relation of your cam position to the crank and if your timing chain is on correctly. If you can find a 67 fsm there should be a detailed description of the test with a solid cam as used in the 273`s.
