    Junk Yard Dog is alive!

    I'll look into it, and I'll go over the firing order once more. Another question, if tranny fluid is dripping off the cross member where do you think it would be coming from? It only leaks when the motor is running. Chris

    ill try to rev her up and it just dies, but if I let off the throttle it will come back, and if I rev it hi it kind of back fires. I'm gonna try to figure out whats up, but it never hurts to have a few opinions. Chris

    Junk Yard Dog is alive!

    I wired it all up last night and fired it up today, it starts up great, first try, timing is set, but one problem, it won't rev up! Any ideas, I assume that its a mechanical problem so hopefully I wont have to hunt down wires and such. What do you guys think I should look for? Chris

    Power steering pump

    If I have a V6 car and I want to drop in a V8 and the V6 car has power steering, will the pump work on my 302 and will the brackets or will I have to go get some 302 Pump brackets? Also how difficult is it to mount the radiator on the out side of the core since its a 74. Chris

    re-installing transmissions

    I got the motor and tranny out of the car and I pulled the tranny off, now its time for it to go back on and it doesnt seem to want to, it goes on almost all the way and goes on just enough to barely be on the pins but it wont go any further. Do I just tighten the bolts to pull it to the motor...
