    HELP, cant get distributor / oil pump shaft to line up

    why do you want to take the pan off? why are you even unbolting the pan? You should really read through some other threads on this subject. Many people have said several times (including myself) the shaft is NOT supposed to be centered in the hole. It's near impossible to make it that way...

    normal temp?

    stock thermostat is 195 which means it should run at least that all the time. 230 is starting to get pretty warm, I don't think I would want it above that. But certainly 220 is nothing to worry about.

    Help? C4 cooling line routing

    yeah, you can run them any way you want really. It's no big deal. And they do hold themselves just fine.

    white smoke in exhaust, not oil or water

    You're running rich. You need to tune your carb a little leaner. But before you do, pull the spark plugs out and post a pic if you can. Black plugs = no good. White plugs = no good. A lot of junk on everything = no good. Ideal conditions are a nice tan burn or a dark tint. No gunk. So...

    MSD Ignition 8352

    Get the Blaster 2 coil my friend, the 8202. I have the exact same distributor and the exact same coil. It's a great setup.

    My Combo Evaluation...

    500hp on a stock block is with a good tune. With a crap tune, you're looking at less than that.

    How much to mill Edelbrock heads

    I wouldn't mill them at all if I were you unless they were warped and needed some straightness. Are you just trying to raise compression?

    New block Casting Number Help

    I still fail to see what the problem is. I am helping the user but poking him for being an ass. Anyway, you don't have a 302 block if it's not where Joel said it would be. Post some pics and we'll be able to tell what it is most likely. My guess is a 4.0 V6.

    New block Casting Number Help

    I don't know, what do I sound like? And I did provide help. I made it very clear and simple, the casting number is exactly where the previous poster said it was. Since the original poster didn't believe it, I reiterated it, and lo and behold he found the casting number. And how ironic...

    Door hinge repair kits

    I think bushing holes wear out when people put their fat *** weight on the door, putting stress on it. It's not as common as the bushing itself wearing out, but it does happen.

    Door hinge repair kits

    You should tack weld the bushing on anyway because that will keep it from rotating inside the hole of the door. Only the pin should be free to rotate for longevity sake.

    New block Casting Number Help

    Maybe you should stop screwing around, scrape the grease off and open your eyes to look for the numbers before you ask. He gave you a very good picture and description of where the casting number is. It IS that easy, so not only do you sound like an ass, but.... you fill in the rest.

    Will timing effect engine temp?

    No need to bump your thread less than 2 hours after your last post dude. Also, I think you should have paid more attention when D.Hearne said 220 is not that hot. Will it overheat? What happens if you get on it for 15 seconds? What happens if it idles for 15 minutes? Don't waste your money...

    Carb plate, advantages? Is it needed?

    It's perfectly alright to remove the spacer. Just make sure you don't have any interference elsewhere, like the throttle linkage getting hung up on anything.

    Please Help!! Roller Rocker and Valve adjustment Sequence

    remember that there are two Top Dead Centers for each cylinder. So when you start on #1, it has to be on the compression stroke. So, turn the engine over clockwise until the intake valve of #1 is closing, once it closes, keep turning till you get to TDC. That is the compression stroke. My...

    Need Carb tuning 101 class

    LOL!! What does that mean? What do you mean if edelbrocks were that good, they would still be called carters? Edelbrock bought carter's design, why would they still call it carter? That is just bad business. Anyway, who knows why people don't use edelbrocks in racing? I think they are...

    c4 fluid capacity

    my C-4 is a 164 tooth, big bellhousing style. When it had the stock convertorI put in 9.5 quarts to get it to the full mark. When I put in an aftermarket 11.4 inch TCI convertor, it only took 6 quarts to get to the full mark. Did you know that you have to fill these things with the engine...

    Need Carb tuning 101 class

    How much horsepower was he running is my question. They are limited to being able to handle a certain amount of horsepower, that limit I don't know, but I would venture a guess to say that 800hp is out of the question with an edelbrock carb. But once again, you are wrong that edelbrocks are...
