Hello,
First post here! I've been doing some work on the 440 in my '66 Charger, just added a Fitech fuel injection system along with a new MSD box, distributor, coil and plug wires. I was fired the car for the first time in probably a month to get the timing set and start fine tuning the fuel injection but had a few things come up that prevented me from finishing it up today.
1.) Where are the timing marks supposed to be located on the crank pulley? I did some looking today and couldn't see anything, not sure I'm just looking in the wrong place or if its caked with like 6 layers of paint.
2.) I fired the car up and ran it for probably 2-3 mins before I noticed my oil gauge was showing no pressure. I didn't notice any clattering/unusual noises (I'm guessing it would have been making some bad noises if it actually wasn't getting any oil) and there was definitely oil in the valve train when I pulled the valve cover, so I'm guessing (hoping) that oil was still moving around the engine. That leaves me with the sending unit or perhaps I bumped a wire while messing around in the engine bay. Where is the sender located on the 440? Obviously, I want to make sure I have oil pressure before I start messing with timing again.
Any help would be great!
