    Quick multimeter question

    If it were me I would try the battery first. Especially if it is lasting a couple of days. The voltage going up a little is not out of the norm. As the acid eats the lead in the cells there will be Minor variations in the voltage.

    Opinions and Suggestions on transmission

    I am putting in a C4 but only because mine is going to be a fair weather driver. Any time it is nice out I will drive it. If It was a weekend warrior I would go with the Tremec.

    If it is a roller block then it should have the 351 firing order.

    Roller motor question

    You forgot to mention the threaded holes for the roller spider in the post 85 blocks. This is to stop the Roller lifters from turning inside the bore. If you do the conversion do not forget this. It is very important. I have seen 4 or 5 guys forget the spider and make a real mess out of things.

    Weird timing issues

    It shouldn't change the timing unless it has a custom cam and it has been degreed. I agree on the firing order. They may have used a 351W cam in it. That is why you see 2 different firing orders. Also the HO version went to a 351W Firing order 302 non HO 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 firing order 302 HO...

    Weird timing issues

    Exhaust Backfire or intake backfire ? I would back up to the basics. Find Top Dead center. Then look at your timing marks. The pointer should be on 0. If the pointer is not on zero make a new pointer with masking tape on the timing cover. ( Make sure you unhook the vacuum advance. Set...

    Restarting the 302 - Should It Sound Like This?

    If it sounded like a Harley you have to have an exhaust leak. I have never what a Harley motor sounds like because the exhaust drowns all other sounds out. Try to find the casting date on the block. That will tell you for sure the year and what balancer to get. The block casting number is...
