I am ready to set the timing on my 67 273 and not sure what I should set it at. It's a 273 2 barrel, automatic, Isky E-4 cam(solid), Pertronix Ignitor I ignition, stock 2 barrel exhaust. Did I read the factory service manual I have right at 8-10 degrees advance at 1750 rpms? thanks Aaron

which spark plug wire retainers go on which side of a 67 273? I have two that are shaped kind of like an M and four that are just circle that clip onto the plug wires and then clip into the tabs on the valve covers. Thanks Aaron

Had the water pump on and then saw this empty bolt hole in the timing cover, couldn't get a bolt in there due to the water pump outlet, pulled water pump, only to find that this bolt hole doesn't seem to have a corresponding hoel in the block. Is there something that supposed to go here? Is it...

I feel completely stupid asking this, but it has been too long since I took the motor mounts off of my 273 and I don't remember how they go back together. The question I have is does the bolt on the rubber mount go in the upper hole or the lower hole. Looked at the service manual cd I have but...

Have searched for this and couldn't find the answer. Have the motor mount brackets painted and ready to install, but not sure which side of the block the go on. Have figured out from other threads that the brackets go on the back of the block ears, correct, with nuts on the outside. One...

Dad has been helping me rebuild the 273. He says you can't install the oil pump shaft with the intake on, I say you can just may have to devise some kind of tool to get it lined up right. I am still probably at least a couple months away from engine install and startup, and therefore I...

Which way do the rocker shafts go on a 273 solid cam? Also I have one rocker that is tight against the pushrod and valve and still have about 3/16 of inch to go before the shaft is seated, the cup of the pushrod is hitting the rocker. I am using a ISKY e-4 cam and stock solid pushrods. Almost...

Finally getting my 273 together, the fuel pump eccentric was grooved some, called all around and nobody has one. Should it be okay to use as is? Do they ever fail? Should the bolt be loctited? Looking through my gasket set I didn't see the fiber gasket for the right angle oil filter adapter...

Hope to finish engine assembly in the next few weeks, and can't decide which cam to use. I have an Egge part #VMD0015, supposed to be a stock cam for 273, but that's what they said about the first one they sent me that had an elgin number on the box that on the Elgin site was a hydraulic cam...

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to stroke a 273? What cubic inchs would a person come up with? Just something I have wondered about, probably won't do it, unless I win the lottery.

My 273 originally had barbell solids lifters, the replacements I got are solid (they don't have the recessed ring). My question is will they work? Is there a purpose for the barbell shape of the old lifters? With the problems I have had with getting the upper end of this engine together I...

The stock cam for my 273 came today, and going to finish up assembly tonight, and have a question. What should the adjustable rocker arms be tightened to as a starting point? Thanks Mr. Coffee Sorry if this is something that has been asked frequently, I searched back 4 pages and didn't find...

Got the replacement cam from my engine builder, first cam had .536 lift, this cam has .468 lift. Here is the comp cams page on it. http://www.compcams.com/Cam_Specs/CamDetails.aspx?csid=665&sb=2 The engine is stock rebuilt, bored .030, stock heads rebuilt, stock everything. Auto tranny with...

Going to pick up my 273 today and just wondering how to paint the engine, as far as prep and assembly. What should I wipe it down with to remove any oil, etc? Do I assemble the entire engine, then paint, or tape off cylinders & oil pan area and any onther holes then paint the block, then do the...

Have my 67 273 at the machine shop being rebuilt. it is a 2 barrel, the builder was trying to talk me into going to a hydraulic cam, can I replace the solid cam with hydraulic? He ordered the smallest solid cam he could find, and guarenties me that it should work with the 2 barrel. Definitely...
