Hi all, I am finally within striking distancing of breaking in my 408. I'm looking for guidance on the initial timing setup and distributor install. From reading older posts, my manuals and hopefully common sense this is my plan, and just wanting to make sure i have no holes in this. TDC is...

and correct you are! found the leak coming from the filter plate. ordering in the fel pro 70522 today. Thanks everyone

Check back of valve cover, nice and dry. Trying to decide if I reuse this plate with new gaskets or try the Canton. Hopefully watch it tomorrow to see where oil leaks from. It sure looks like the filter itself and not the mount, but hard to say until I can see. Could the paint on the plate...

bit more information. I have to purchase a new oil pressure gauge (current one isn't reading) so i don't have the pressure available. it is the stock style plate (not angled adapter) and i haven't pulled the plate off to confirm gasket yet (was fighting with it late last night and i didn't...

Hi Everyone, I finally got time (after 3 moves in 3 years) to prime my new build (408 LA) and I found a significant oil leak that i believe is from the oil filter (not the plate). Using a drill to circulate a HV melling oil pump. I tried 2 filters just to confirm, and both leaked. After a...

sounds perfect. for initial startup and break in i have a NGK that is 1 colder ill run to see how they look. only running 3 psi for break in.

Great to know. Gives me a good starting point. Did you end up running a colder spark plug? I'm finding some conflicting information on need and also on extended tip electrode. Thanks

Hey Jack, after 2 years I'm close to finally getting my 360 running with a 6v71 fitech setup. May fire on the long weekend for the first time. Was curious what you found for initial timing with the setup?

Makes perfect sense then. I dont believe the bushing is far enough into the crankshaft. The front part of shaft is getting in, but I believe its getting hung up on the ridge, although the ridge on mine is a bit closer to the end than what those show.

Absolutely. Appreciate the response. I do have room to drive the pilot bushing in farther. The depth of the crank hole (deepest point to outside of pilot bushing) is 1.75". By driving in further, this should give me the clearance I need to get the splines in (as it was today, they were just...

Was actually thinking that as well. Concern was how far back was ok (I'm going to be reassuring the depth of hole in crank to be certain shaft isn't too long

So i spent the better part of 2 days trying to get this a833 mounted (behind a 360). I keep running into an issue where the input shaft will only get so far before binding. The crankshaft is a new forged eagle crank with a dorman pilot bushing in it. After further investigation, I've found...

Hi all, its not an abody, but i suspect you will have the answer. I'm attempting to install an a833 from a 71 dart (a body tailhousing) into an 84 d150 1/ton. I knew the tailhousings were shorter on an a body, but assumed/thought the cross member mounting pad would be the same on all...

Theres not much of it together these days...

Hi all, lookign for some assistance for a bonehead move i made...75 duster 360. while pulling out the cluster for restoration of car, the cluster plug was stuck on, so i cut the wires off the plug with the plan to re-solder them. In the meantime I have now misplaced my plug, and I can't find a...

White connector is just a splice or joint. Interesting setup but I'll see how everything works after I put in the fusible link.

Thanks a ton. So as I'm going through the changes I was planning I run into a goofy situation that I cant seem to comprehend. It doesn't match with any diagrams. Brown wire from alternator runs through firewall (grommet style not bulkhead) runs to ammeter then run back from ammeter through...

Appreciate the response. I've attached a picture of 1 wire end. Looks like a circuit breaker to me? All are original wires and run into stock harnesses. I plan to complete the mad electrical change and just have all these wires that were to the amp gauge tied together, just like they were.

I have a question along the bypass MAD style. I removed my dash cluster tonight and had 3 words to the ammeter gauge? 1 red 3 black. 3 blacks were on common terminal. I haven't looked deep enough through it yet but I dont fand mention of 4 wires anywhere

appreciate the comments. I keep hearing horror stories of flywheels blowing up and that is my primary concern.

In it's current form it will never see the strip. It will be about 500 FW HP. With my blower.

Looking for real world advice on flywheel selection. I've been trying to decide on a flywheel for quite sometime. Had been recommended luk lfw375 but want to ensure I'm not building a bomb. I hear stories of needing to be a aluminum or big brand billet steel. What are the real world limits...

Love it. I'm glad it's working out since I'm hoping to fire the same system up this fall. What size of fuel line for supply and return did you go with? You were running a meth injection for a time correct?

Awesome. Thanks guys. Just a clutch and a few linkages and this baby is ready

Hi folks. I'm getting myself confused on the right flywheel for my build. Its a 408 la build internal balance. Been trying to find the right flywheel as the costs to get these things to canada is quite large and i dont want to do it twice. Its for a a833 tranny 1971 bell and tranny. Any...

Love that color

Would the OD of flywheel be 11" when listed potentially?

Sorry for late responses. The ifnition box comment was based on the compression not spark blowout. I don't seem to really have faith in their suggestions so far. To me, a 2x4 600 power adder and fuel command center should do the truck, but I was recommended a single 1200 power adder and the g...

I apologize if I'm besting a dead horse. I'll read up more. When I see the popcorn bucket I know I screwed up lol
