The sling ring that is on the back side of the harmonic balancer and in front of the timing cover. It wouldnt press and seat on the balancer from summit because of the tapered backside of the balancer

NOT TO HIJACK THE THREAD..But when I replaced my harmonic balancer on the 273 with one from summit I took the "oil slinger cover" ..the thing with the felt gasket in it, off of the stock balancer and was going to put it on the new balancer but it did not seem to press on there correctly........I...

Fishy, Thanks for the sage input man, kinda puts me in a better mood knowing its not the pain in the *** a sb chevy is.....not that a sb chevy is hard, just time consuming... I will be careful when seperating the cover from the block and keep the board up to speed on progress or...

Thats good to hear, obviously this is my first time into this motor. Other times I have done this have been on Chevy 350's. The Thermostat housing issue was just pitted corrosion and it being cast iron on cast iron.......So the gasket did not seat properly and it leaked until I honed the pitting...

Well......After replacing te NON-existant thermostst last week with a 190 degree on the wagon actually got to operating temperature and was happy....until I developed a Pressure leak between the Timing cover and the block on the top passenger side......Of course it had to happen just as I pulled...

Ensure point gap is set correct as well.......or ignition module if electronic distributor.

I mean I could tune this one...........OR IF ANYONE just happens to have a stroked 318 just laying around that they just want to GIVE AWAY I would just feel compelled to swap it into the family wagon....:):):)

Still a stock solid cam in it.........and I dont think I removed vaccum advance line when timing it... Should I have removed it and along with that what should I have set the timing at then??? I seem to think it was 4-6 degree btdc?? I think it should weigh in @ around 35-3600lbs.......Still I...

I forgot to mention free beer to San Diego Members who want to help a Deep Sea Diver do this valve adjustment......or some cash I'm grateful either way...........plus just found some of the info off the early a body forum...Way to look before I ask huh.

Anybody have any good gouge or a info on 273 valve adjustments??? Seems like my 65 273 is dumping fuel right out insted of burning it.. I have no valve tap...so suspect exhaust valve is not closing and gas is not getting burnt..............also getting about 11 mpg on a 273 w/barrel carb and...

Hell Im not sure, thats why I am asking? It runs okay........just not as good as I want it to. Plus I want to make it quit smoking, or at least find out why? And what the hell are umbrella seals? Thats how little I know about this problem?

I did not notice any coolant in the oil when I changed it with penzoil 10w-40 odometer states 86k I assume its 186K. The car is an automatic with Dual exhaust on her already. Carb is adjusted pretty well just off lean drop test what should the timing be adjusted to? Never done a ring job so...

:munky2: I usually let the wagon warm up for a bit before I put my foot in it a bit, but this morning I had to get in and go.......and what do I see? White/blue smoke out the rear view mirror when I give her some gas off a stop light. After I get stuck in traffic at the metering light for 7 or 8...
