Omg just put it in an early a......only about a thousand pounds lighter.....

try not to forget when he cuts the valve then the stem to get his assembled height then the depth he cuts the seat, even if he doesn't cut the heads all of that needs to be equal and very few machinists will find the lowest seat to determine what will make the engine balanced, they will simply...

really now......isnt wad spelled with an a ? no panties here just an observance from a day or two of playing with mopars and noticing all the chevy guy mentality sticking its nose in where it has no real place....really.... if I was building a chevy I'd demand the same quality that it takes to...

I'm not even gonna read all this, remove the valve covers and then the rocker assemblies and lay a straightedge across the tops of the valves and see that they are all at the same height...if they are all at the same height then you have a half decent machine shop. now to check lifter preload...

How bout some pic's..Is this a new set of heads?...send em back the repair sounds decent enough but if ya paid for good stuff might wanna send em back and get a set that hasnt been repaired.

mild cam,and smaller carb will wake it up,I'd start with smaller carb....you'd be surprised....

ya'll agree to dissagree,opinion's are what were asked for,and let's keep it at that..I can see the validity of both opinions but I can't see the validity of stirring the pot or bickering about it so that part will cease and desist...Thank You Have a nice Day !!!

what engine block did the build start as?318,340,360?

a thermostat is designed to open at a certain temperature,holding the water in the radiator till the thermostat reaches that temperature..thus allowing the water to be cooled in the radiator.he may need a larger radiator but switching to a cooler thermostat will definately make the engine run...

dang i sure need to get a video camera thingie,I have a 73 340 marine engine in my duster 10.5 to 1 comp crane fireball cam and none of these problems,I set the timing to the fuel I use(by ear)87 octane....and check with timing light with dial (snap on)32 degrees total.14 initial it idles at...

ahhhh I like burn'ts Idea the best but if a four speed isn't in the cards get a widshield washer resivoir and fill that puppy with bleach and aim the squirter at the tire,push the button(yep the red button) for a few seconds and letter riiiipppppppp!!!!!if it wont do a burnout with bleach...

Oh boy,this is gonna take a minute,you wont need a k frame swap,you will need v 8 centerlink for the steering,v 8 engine mounts and v 8 transmission and v 8 gas pedal and related parts,and v 8 for early a body exhaust manifolds those are definately specific but I think later v 8 manifolds could...

That's my story and I'm...............sticking to it!!!!!!!!if you turn the housing and move the plug wires around till you are blue in the face the rotor button will still end up in between two terminals until you move the intermidiate shaft, and as far as "having my dream" It's a good one,I...

Thats the way I do it to,and I don't own any manuals either Lol,I have had occasion to look at them on some of the newer stuff though but yes I line it up to point to the #1 cylinder also.thank's for your input,this sticking to the basics has always been a big help thru the years,I guess it's...

George another member stated another important issue that should be checked,the distributor intermediate shaft has a bushing that is pressed into the block that you need to check when you pull the intermidiate shaft out,so pull the shaft all the way out so you can look down in there at it,and...

if the points are about to open and you turn the distributor housing the points are not about to open any more are they?alredy open,thats the problem with the throw the distributor in any old way theory.tooo many trying to tell me I'm wrong and no one saying maybe,look at me, what could I...

No I was not talking about the vacume canister hitting the firewall or the coil,and I am just stating that it DOES matter,when at t.d.c. the points should be just starting to open,correct? and the rotor button should be pointing to the #1 electrode on the distributor cap,correct? what if the...

On the contrary,there are several positions that you can install the distributor intermidiate shaft and then move the wires around and it will work properly but there is also several positions where it will NOT work properly,the fsm shows it in a certain position but does not explain "why" the...

The pinging you are describing makes me wonder if the distributor intermidiate shaft is a tooth off....ie car hard to start....pinging under acceleration,bring engine to t.d.c. #1 cylinder and make sure the rotor is pointing to the electrode on the cap....not in between two cylindes on the...
