To lift the motor 2" do I need to unbolt/unhook anything else besides the motor mounts(I have Schumacher 318 swap kit)?

ok ill drop the oil pan next thanks Bill.

would I be better off buying a whole new crank shaft?

Ill have to go back out there and look, will I further damage stuff if I go out there and check it by running it?

This is we're small leak is

Ok finally got the scamp running good 318/904 has after market crank 3 groove pulley. Car drives/rides great, idles good no noise. However I noticed while pushing the throttle On the carb the crank pulley will go straight out about 1/4 inch and then return when release throttle, what in the heck...

Ok Guys first and foremost thanks for ALL the help you don't know how much yall have helped me, 67Dart thanks for sticking with me, you too Bill. Now yall don't give me to much hell. Found the problem. The brand new Alternator was not working. Because drum roll........................... the...

Yea I got a little frustrated, but I love this car to dam much, lol. I did have an offer for a Bobbed 74' Ironhead trade:D

Yea I figured that, so everything seems to be working EXCEPT the NOS alternator from advanced auto. So I will be swapping this one out tomaro and I will give an update. Thanks a lot guys and I hope this 3 page Topic can help many more people in the future.:D

OK Bill I did your exact test by using a No8 jumper wire from ALT case to Battery Negative. While the engine running I placed the black probe on Battery Negative post and the red probe on ALT case and it read 0.0V with the multimeter. So that means the Alt is properly grounded, right?

"What is the voltage on the CASE of the alternator? It should be 0 V, IF IT IS GROUNDED. I will ask a 4th time: connect a thick jumper cable between the CASE of the alternator and BATT-. While running, measure the case voltage to insure it is getting grounded. Without this return current...

Ok thats what I thought, plus the guy at the parts store didnt even know how to hook up the machine. Lol well Ill try another alternator, thanks again 7dart.

You say you have a wire directly from the alternator output to the battery IS THAT CORRECT yes or no? Yes this is correct Ok I did exactly like you said, just went out and did the same thing unhooked both field terminals, I then grounded one to the ALT case and then other I ran to the...

Updated readings with everything hooked up and ammeter bypassed. Engine off key turned off volts across battery: 12.10/volts on both field terminals: 0.0/ volts at battery stud: 12.10. Engine running volts across battery...

Ok the first time I tried using clip leads the one going to battery + grounded, resulting in it burning up. The second time I did it correctly I grounded one field terminal and the other I ran to battery + like you and dart said. Now before I did all this I BYPASSED THE AMMETER and ran a brand...
