Kern, did you get a new dist drive?

That is a pretty cam... When i called howards they told me mine is billet...but it sure looks cast :)

Nice Kern, that's a tiny bit bigger than my 318 cam :)

DOH! sorry.. my brain read that as 1991 for some reason.. long day..

It's all just details.. get a book and read it a couple of times... there are things people miss.. like valve reliefs on the wrong sides, rear seal backwards... just tons of stuff. take your time and triple check everything.

408 doesn't make it any different to put together... same as a 273 pretty much

Not even joking.. transmission is easier once you do one... take it apart and check/replace stuff that's worn out.. put back together and check endplay/adjustments... I did my first one with just a exploded view... the book i have now is all step by step directions

I haven't myself.. but i would 100% read it if i were you.. i just haven't cause i don't have it and i have had a lot of old mopars so i learned a lot by mistakes :) that's supposed to be a really good book though. Also get the transmission book for when you do yours.... trans is actually...

yup both sides... the oil goes through the cam, up those holes and into the rocker shafts and oils everything up

it's inside the intake valley right where i showed.. above where the dist gear goes.. it's a metal plug just like on the front/rear of the block

Also.. This hole oils your rockers/top end.... take a flash light and make sure the hole goes through the cam bearing... oil goes to the cam then to the top end... places are amazing at not lining it up.. check both sides... Also... Take your old cam if you have it and GENTLY put it in before...

It's there.... and you can see why it would suck if you forget it :)

i 100% would miss it if i hadn't read bout others missing it.. it's just not something i would even think is there

BTW.. BM73 when you start assembly i would make a new thread and post pics as you go.. people love to point out anything you miss which might save you a lot of headache.. like the oil plug inside the valley by the dist gear :) Also... i would get a paint marker and mark everything after final...

I'm out at 25/romeo plank and it's a haul for you.. i will get it done :) I am either going to use Dave Harmon in waterford (supposed to do amazing work) or St. Clair machining out near me.. st clair is closer.. Terry Brighton who does a lot of small blocks uses them but their reviews online are...

yup

Ahh thanks for clarifying that... i'm trying to help but don't know enough :)

Didn't know that.. i have only ever had 727s.. does the snout on a mini starter hit the flexplate?

BTW, just so you know for the future a torque converter for external balance will have a weight welded to it

Yup.. meant internal... brain glitched :)
