    HELP with parts list PLEASE

    CMan brings up a good point about the torquing. If you are using the stock bolts that are already stretched, getting everything even will take a lot longer..I recomend spending the extra $20 and getting an ARP lower intake bolt kit. The wrenching will be a lot easier and there will be less...

    HELP with parts list PLEASE

    You'll need a new lower intake to cyl head gasket set for when you remove your lower, and some sealer for the water jackets and front/rear of the block (lifter valleys). Might need some scrapers or scotchbright pads to clean up the old surfaces. Its never a bad idea to replace things like...

    Another stupid question....

    I think it great to have that equation, but I've alway just gone by the 1 ft# per additional extension rule. An old neighbor I had taught that to me and he was an old Navy seadog who had plenty of expirience with torque wrenches. Its not failed yet. Also, it may help that I usually shoot for...

    Pics of the New Engine!

    Thanks guys, its been a long time in coming. To answer your questions, Vibe was right, the notion was to break in or heat treat the egine. Frankly I don't know much on the subject. Grn 92LX, that sounds good to me, how many times or miles does that require to be effective?

    Wow, This thing is a lot of fun..got all the bug worked out and she runs great. I really love the exhaust note with the Mac LTs, Catted H pipe and Edelbrock SDT mufflers..I haven't taken it over 3500 rpm but it sounds mean even up to there. I'm pretty stoked, the power one the new engine...

    I though it was a good idea to start with water in case there was a leak? The smoke or stream was immediate. Unfortunatly it did not run long enough for me to see if it would "burn off". I went to set the timing and as soon as I disconnected the spout the engine stopped. Didn't start after...

    PROGRESS!!! Okay, so I didn't really need a new starter. It didn't really suprise me that when I stuck the new one it that it did the same thing.."click". I knew it had to be the current so I once again grounded the starter mounting bolt to the neg batt and no go..I then traced the positive...

    NICE TRY VIBE BUT NO DICE! [ :nono: I don't know if that was an attempt to brag or rub it in or what, but I'm pretty sure you'll be quite jealous of me when you learn I purchase a full refurbished VALUCRAFT starter:hail2: for $89! I know you think you got a good deal since yours was free...

    Okay, I don't know if the 94 starters are hi-torque starters, but I do know that it is the smaller one, like the FMS starters. I went ahead and bought a remanufactured unit from AutoZone during my 4 oclock lunch break. They tested the old one but I'm not sure that it was "load" tested. They...

    347 Installed but won't start...please help!

    starter and flywheel are orignal equip. I think I will do the following: 1. Have starter tested at auto parts store. 2. If necessary buy new starter and give it a shot. Question though, I should be okay with a stock starter right? I'd rather not have to pay extra for the hi torque...

    WHAT GIVES?! I took the starter out and cleaned it real good (contacts etc). Using jumper cables and another running vehicle's battery, I connected the negative terminal to the starter casing and the positive to the battery terminal on the starter solenoid. When I jump the "S" terminal to the...

    thanks for clearing that up Hissin.. yeah, mine looks like that but its stock (original 135K) so the switch wire is just a little parrallel clip that slips on, not a bolt on... this helps..when I get off work I will investigate and see if anything works. Thanks again..its killing me not...

    Hissin50 - what small gauge wire..the little ignition one of the one that goes from the other non-positive bolt on the solenoid? Also, to you mean the positive battery lug?, thanks Yeah, I've tried rapping on it. no go...

    Poka - so you actually had a click when you tried to start it and the starter wouldn't engage because of a TB on an injector wire? Strange. Why would that be, could there really be a loss of voltage or ground becuase of that?

    to be clear, when I turn the key there is a SINGLE click, not a ticking... FORCED2DV8 - yeah, I hand cranked the engine yesterday to put it at TDC and it turned easily.. hey, our cars don't have a solenoid separate from the starter right, just the one mounted on the starter? If I jump the...

    Okay, hang with me guys, here's what I tried and here's the results... Grn92LX, yep, I primed it, did it again this morning for good measure..(BTW, how long is a priming good for?) I tried to jump start the car, while connected, battery read about 13.84 V (up from 12 V while off)...no change...
