I pulled the distributor and the reluctor wheel was hitting the magnet, the plate was at 18 not 16 and the springs where too heavy. Set gap to 0.008 plate set to 14 and removed a spring Total is now 32 Guess my younger self didn’t double check my work. Took it for a drive can spin the tires...

I replaced it whe I rebuilt the engine, I also verified TDC when it was done. TDC is still correct.

That is a GM motor yes my one shop does those, Mopar not so much.

Ok answer a bunch of questions I appreciate the thoughts. The motor is very Lazy it accelerates like a diesel above 3000 grand. Thermoquad has full WOT I have been building them for 15 years. 2 different carbs 800 with 98 143 1997 rods 850 100 143 1996 rods same results. Fuel filter, Mopar...

3rd gear run, which I asked for 2nd, 5 runs 75 degrees out no wind or humidity 400 feet alt All about 15.4 @87 mph manually shifting at 5500 rpm, the car was dead from launch on to the end in a 72 charger. Yes I know B body but this is the only place that talks small block.

93 non ethonal honestly detonation that bad wouldn't show up in the plugs, metal particles, i believe I would hear it. But I still will back the timing for giggles.

I have a plate that is set at 16 degrees of advance the Mechanical is 34 all in. Initial is 18. Vaccum is ported and does not enter into wot equation.

There are not many builders left where I am and the one with the dyno is not good with Mopar stuff

Hi I have a 340 that is 30 over 10.5 to 1 trw Pistons, 1.5 adjustable rockers x heads and 850 thermoquad, yes the carb is fine. Total timing 34 degrees coming in at 2800 rpm. Has solid compression on all cylinders 190 to 200. Plugs are tan. 3.23 gears 3200 stall I have a Crane 150062 cam...

I heard this car in staging. It looks so tame but wow what an engine!

Check your bulkhead connector. Mine randomly shut off because the bulkhead was getting hot. Other places is pickup in distributor Coil Check float levels Vacuum leaks Fuel pump

This is perfect. I was always over cautious and would prime the engine oil with an adapted and a drill. Use a good oil filter Wix, K&N NAPA Gold. You want to catch all the metal from the cam and lifters matching up.

The street Demon seems like a good carb, pretty much a modern thermoquad. Know a few people that run them and they love them. Definitely get the resin bowl.

AMD is/was making them. All small block will fit but the wire routing changes year to year.

The whole point is to use 318 things, crank, pistons, rods, head, intake and carb. Can only do addition by subtraction. No aftermarket stuff. Just factory or factory original. It is a cool challenge to try to make 318 hp with such a small carb(flowed 256 cfm).

No. Not a small block. Easier for him to drop the pan again and put in a new gasket set.

Should be fine.... I have 2016 comp cam. All is well. 3,000 miles

Seriously THIS is the 1ST step. Typical forum answers making you do the hardest thing first like pulling a pan or plumbing a gauge. Just change the sender and see it it goes away. If the engine isn't changing tone I bet it is this. My sending unit with a Guage went bad randomly it did the...

Hopefully it is just a bad oil sending unit or loose wire. Does the engine noise change when the light comes on? It would sound very mechanical with 0 pressure. Change the sending unit with a good name brand and check the wire going to it.

I have always hated that chart, it can have a novice way overcharge a 134a system. I found this one it is more realistic. And always read the engine rpm that the manufacturer wants you to test for pressure, that is really important.

What carburetor? Does it have lean burn still attached? Choke functional?

At this point as others said, tear it down. You need to check all the bearings since a lot of metal became dislodged. Did it give any signs of being super lean?

It also poured on Saturday. Usually about 250 on Saturday 125 on Sunday for judging.

Wow that sucks. Looks like a removal and tear down. Hopefully just need new pistons and a cylinder clean up.

That is not right... If they shake with a rhythm that is OK. Check for vaccum leak Check broken motor mount Take of valve covers check if rockers are all moving the same. Then check plugs to see if they are all firing Check cap rotor Then if nothing check carb.

Have you pulled the valve cover to see if the intake valves are opening?

I found on the well seals to use J B Weld Marine. It holds like it should and does not disintegrate when exposed to ethanol.

Before I found strip kits I looked up all the thermoquad model numbers and their jettison. I bought a bunch of "junk" at swap meets but ended up with a good collection of rods and jets. You could also get a set of sized drill bits and drill out the common or useless sized ones, like the 125...
