Excellent news. Time and patience pay off. I prefer to leave the hood off for a while. It runs cooler and it's so much easier to check for leaks, double check valve cover bolts and such. And it's pretty bad ***.

No, I didn't. pressure was probably too low. I did break in the camshaft and made sure I used non-synthetic oil and a bottle of zinc additive.

What harness and ECU are you using? Not sure what to say about the MAT deal but I am sure there is a work around. As far as it being too short, I'd just lengthen the wires by cutting them in staggered fashion so that the cuts are not next to each other, then I would use a butt connector and...

Update Update: I ditched the chineseum Carter pump, regulator and pressure gauge and put in the EB pump. Engine operates perfectly with no flooding. I timed the engine back to 12 BTDC, adjusted the carb, and it idles smoothly at 750 rpm. Not bad for sitting idle for basically 27 years (one...

Looks like you had multiple problems with this engine starting back in June.. First no spark then no oil pressure. Now cooling and running rich issues. Myself you signed the engine disaster book. You very well could have caused internal damage.

I know for a fact that the new box I just got in is mounted a tad sharper and closer to the firewall but mine aint that sharp and it also has a different type of brace than my old one has. My PS pump only has 1 shim in it and the first 500 miles it’s felt great and at idle setting still you...

:rofl: If the ends are leaking.....weld them up. The welch plugs are supposed to do that but sometimes they don't....

Just get in and go on a new Hemi car. No pumping the pedal just right. Hoping the choke sets. Hoping the oil pressure comes up and stays. Listen to the lifters rattle. Eyes are watering from the rich mixture. And on and on for the old ones.

i have a brand new Autometer Ultra Lite Electric oil pressure gauge.. its 2 5/8". it was installed and ran for about 10 mins. Comes with sending unit... This is an electric gauge so no live oil line running through your firewall into the cab.. Part Number 4427.. Sales for $107.00 at Summit...

9 years or so and she has been a good mill. 71 440 block, with 6bbl internals. Of all the crappy times for my 440 to "give up the ghost" 2023 Cruisin the Coast is pretty bad. Crazy thing is, I had absolutely NO warning. I just did an oil and filter change on my Roadrunner and my wife's GTO...

After any of the Chryslers engine were built they were test run using propane for fuel. There was generic hookups for water (hot) and the intake (no carb) done on a test stand way before being installed in the car, definitely not at 2200 rpm for 20 minutes. Just a break in engine oil (non...

Finally! Oil pressure is back! It has been quite a journey. I installed the new Mellings oil pump, filled it and Fram filter with STP, and tried to prime the engine with no success. The red dash oil light stayed on, and the aftermarket mechanical gauge under the dash showed no pressure. This was...

take a look at your oil and check for a strong gasoline smell. no way should it burn 5 gallons in 18 minutes at 2000 rpm. you could easily damage the bearings with a lot of gasoline in the oil. a new engine will have considerable blow-bye until the rings get seated which is bad for the oil...

Waking up an old thread. Replaced intake gasket and it made no difference, then noticed external oil leak on drivers side, replaced valve cover gasket which had actually split apart (new gasket). Stayed dry for a day. Oil is on drivers side only, comes down on top of starter, around...

Engine is 400/512 built by professional and run/tuned on dyno. No issues. Things got behind schedule and engine has been sitting for just under two years. Finally ready to go so I figured to spin the engine over with starter to build up some oil pressure. Spark plugs removed for this. Installed...

Right here are your answers. No money or time in the engine? Go for it. Want to spin it over dry with no oil pressure? Then use this method. Pulling the distributor is a pain? You know what is a pain? Pullling the pan is a pain. Want to protect your investment? Prime it. No need to retime it...

I don't mean this in a bad way, but the day of the flat tappet camshaft is over. Just like a lot of other things from my youth are over. I have been building engines since 1972, my first was a small block chevy that the oil pickup fell off of. The OEM stopped making flat tappet camshafts in...

Hello, Do you have the part number of the kit you ordered from Mancini? I have a 67 Coronet with a 273 and it still has the canister filter. I'd like to switch it to the spin-on but when I checked the Mancini website, I didn't see the conversion kit. Thanks.

actually, oil pressure gauge isn't hooked up-- that's something I need to prioritize and check for sure! Like intake leak? No, but the noise is pretty obvious on the valve cover with a stethoscope, doesn't that eliminate it being an exhaust leak?
