Welcome from a fellow Coloradoan! :welcome:

There's no spring, just the hose. Where would I get the spring?

There are often posts about what camshaft to get. It will entirely depend on the desire as to what you want to get from the engine with the ensuing discussion of the combination. This post is not about X lift vs Y duration vs Z lobe separation. This is about what type of camshaft you might want...

What is the distance from the fan mounting flange to the radiator? Mine is 3".

Yes, my cap look almost exactly like that but no numbers.

Update: Got the rad moved and a new fan. Ran it in my driveway but haven't had a chance to take it for a spin. Fan blows (pulls) a ton of air through rad. We'll see how it does. I couldn't move the original fan because there wasn't enough room behind the rad even offset. It was just too...

That's might be possible but I've already removed the fan and remounted the rad. Unfortunately, the fan still won't fit behind the rad.

Thanks for all the replies. A couple of things have been said that I was leaning towards and a lot of other useful info. Engine is able to maintain temp while idling but it's when I run it down the road it gets hot. To address some things; The fan is set up to push, not pull and confirmed to...

Seem to have an over heating problem. Can't keep the engine below 210 when cruising around town. Heats up pretty quickly so my "cruising" is pretty limited. It's a 360 that's not stock but still pretty mild. I'd be ecstatic if it made 300 hp. There's no mechanical fan only a 16"...

Just when you maybe think that NO one is that stupid...this. :BangHead:

I'm contemplating putting a blow through supercharger on my 360LA and in the process of thinking about the details of actually making it run a question came to mind (one of several, btw). What do you use as a crankcase evacuation system? Right now my normally aspirated engine is using a...

Welcome from Colorado! :welcome:

Hello all. I've got a Denso Toyota alternator that's rated at 100 amps (might be 90). I've done a little research and I should be running 4 gauge battery cable to a 100 amp fuse then to the battery. Is this right? I somehow doubt the factory ran a 4 gauge wire. If it doesn't need to be 4...

I have an OE throttle cable that is only 18" long. I thought it came out of a Duster that had a 318. However, looking up replacement cables shows a length of ~24". Is 24" correct and if so...what did an 18" cable fit? Thanks.

Another thing to remember is that the difference between 2nd and 3rd is about 31%. If, and that's a big if, there is no slippage in the drive train then there should be a corresponding drop in RPM. At 2000 rpm the drop in rpm going from 2nd to 3rd will be ~31%, or about 620 rpm. If there is...

Nice car! Welcome from Colorado....:welcome:

I tossed the old lifters before I took a look at them but I did find a piece of metal in the pan that looked like it could have come from the top area of a lifter just above the retaining wire. If that was so then it might explain how the retaining wire got loose...if it was a lifter plunger...

Here it is all back together and running. Hopefully I can get it to the track soon. Idling at about 1050...still somewhat cold so the choke was on.

Not hardened tip but with a Melanized gear for the hydraulic roller cam. Gear came from Hughes. The pump is stock pressure and volume.

I always lube the pump, and will with the new one, before bolting it on. I use gear oil for a new/dry pump. It's stickier and will cause the pump to pick up oil out of the pan quicker. An old trick was to pack the pump with Vaseline. Pump would almost instantly pick up oil. Update - not...

Yes, in fact it started.

Hmmm, that could be a possibility.

It didn't...shouldn't have...needed that type of priming. I pulled the plugs, put a boost charger on the battery and cranked it without starting it. Cranking that way would have showed some oil pressure.

It did start. Didn't have oil pressure.

Update.... First, I want to thank you all for your replies, seriously. Now on to the update... I finally got to pull the pan and pump and found out why I had no oil pressure... The intermediate shaft had sheared off in the pump because the pump has seized. The pump seized because a piece of...

I compare the new ones with the old ones. Even measure them including the wide groove. They were within a couple of thousanths of an inch by my measuring.

Kept making tappet noises when cold. Most of the time the noises would go away as it warmed up. Was worrying me and decided to replace them.

Stock repro lifters. Engine originally came with a hydraulic roller cam and lifters. I put a hydraulic roller cam from Oregon Cams in it with the original lifters. Replaced them with the new Melling roller lifters.

They are Melling stock reproduction lifters. The engine came with hydraulic roller lifters.

Was my thought too so I pulled the line off of the gauge and cranked it...nothing came out. Checked the gauge line to see if maybe it was kinked...nope.
