Took it out for a thrash...worked 'till we backed it back into it's spot in the driveway...put it in first again and it died..no start again.. Pull out #1 plug and spun the engine..no spark..culprit, the coil....bought an axcel this time.. Starts much quicker and throttle response is much...

So popped off the gas line and spun her over..strong squirts.. Reconnected line and spun it over to look for squirts in carb...didn't see any but the car started. Sounds like the idle is hunting ... Not comfortable with the results. I actually did shield the gas line coming up...just not that...

Or the purple power valve...I heard I would be using a yellow one ? :) I shall report back tomorrow...I hope it stops raining... Thanks Ian.

First, check to see if we have flow..second..check float..

holley 670 Street Avenger , normal lever fuel pump, normal see through filer and coil with internal ballast. Pretty normal, standard stuff.... Air filter cover in the way...but you can see the filter..

Rev, Won't start.. Should I be able to see this with a flash light ? Not used to American carbs.... I should be able to buy one at NAPA... Thanks ian.

Thanks...this was a new part.....what is the longevity on this part ? Fingers crossed.. ian.

It has been monsooning here so not much trouble shooting has been done...but if I can avoid heading off in the wrong direction , it would be a help. 360 engine. Clean fuel filter. New carb etc..all about 2K kms old..between 1/2 and 1/4 tank gas. Coming into our subdivision..a slight...

..ok...I am a bit low..I have the shift point at 3500 :)

Used to happen to us..one day it would work, next time nada. Used to carry around an extra ballast in the glove compartment. When we did our rebuild, we sad bye bye to the ballast.....

blue....

Everybody does them...we ended having to pull the engine /trans/suspension after installation to install the view plate on the trans.. there goes 2 days :)

This was / is very troubling. We really have no idea what caused this to happen and I suspect, we never will. We stopped working on the car and did something else. There is always work to be done around the house. We discussed what was said in this thread as well of what we received in PMs...

We are very disheartened.. we worked on it for a 3 hours yesterday. We just don't have the heart to pull the engine again..

We had installed the rad and hoses but left the drain plug on bottom the the rad was open.No water or antifreeze had been added..I guess we should have in retrospect.. I cannot think of any reason water would be in there unless it was tested after the rebuild ?? If there was water, why...

I looked around where the car was stored and look what I found.. When to install the new ones...my son had been doing the exploring so far..and both are behind the darn headers....arghhh.. Started to work on them and my hands weren't steady enough so waiting for son to be home from school...

Bought a couple of "singles"...reminds me when I used to buy my smokes like that :) and sold my daughter so I could afford the Loctite Green Sleeve retainer. No green paint in the holes. Wish me luck tomorrow. ian

I bought the engine as a "crate" unit. It had been built by a trusted individual. I think last year I had it broken in..that is where they attach it to an electric engine and spin it at 1500rpm (i think) for a period of time. The engine has never had water in it. I spray painted it last year...

I shall check with our local napa store.. Thanks Ian.

Do you have a link for one..don't think I have ever seen them...

No..they are the middle two...no idea why they came out..

So best to jack the car up to it max height.. looks like I will need to go buy an extension... Thanks

We tried to get in to measure with a caliper and the best we could do is 1.48 ish.. Since you cannot hit directly, how do you make sure it goes in straight ?

If not, we are dead in the water...it was supposed to be a new rebuild..

Yes, I am slightly freaked out about this. Pictures would be great. Have to measure the size so I can buy more.....

..there wasn't water in it...no idea of why they came out...and x3 on the starting ..didn't know the other..thanks...

Well the big came to start the engine...when we added the water, it started to pour out over the floor. With a quick inspection, we seem to have lost 2 frost plugs when it was stored outside last winter. We checked with the company that did a mechanical break in and they don't all water. Very...

..I guess I am not surprised..Chrysler made some high reving outboard motors for years...my BIL built a 8 foot ( 1 piece of ply for the bottom) hydroplane ..it looked like the pic below. The Chrysler was the only motor (it was old then and I am talking very early 70s) that could rev that high...

Rick, no number on ether end so I shall measure it. Thanks ian.

I am selling a "stock" 360 cam shaft. That is all I know about it. the PO bought a different cam and swapped out the "stock" one. How can I tell what this cam is...the engine was a quasi crate...the PO bought it as a rebuilt motor.. Thanks Ian.
