Well, I pulled the main caps off first to see if there was any damage, the bearings looked great. Then pulled rod caps, bearings look good there too. Checked clearances with plastigage, all in spec. Could it be that the pump was simply not primed right and ruined the pump only? I bought a...

I am pulling the engine tonight, will keep updated. A friend of mine has a complete 360 rering kit he is selling me for $50. I will get an oil pump and pickup screen at the parts store tomorrow. I hope to get this running again by the end of this coming week...

I dropped the pan today. (wasn't easy :angry7:) and pulled the oil pump out. I pulled off the pickup screen and ripped it open. Between the bottom cover and screen I found a silicone ball about 3/8" and maybe 3/4" long! Took the pump apart and found that the gear was scored and had a few tiny...

I brought over a friend and he drained the oil and put a screwdriver up in the pan, he says the pickup was right against the bottom of the pan... He pushed it up and we put in new oil. When it started, the oil pressure shot up to 50psi but did not stay long. It goes down to 0 at idle when...

I have a 360 that was completely rebuilt about 500 miles ago... It has a melling hv oil pump and stock pan. When I first started the car it had between 55-75 psi oil pressure depending on rpm. Sometimes it would drop very low 5-10 psi at idle, then come back up later. I changed the oil...

I dropped a completely built 360 in my 72 dart, with lunati bracket racing cam and edelbrock intake. I have a high volume oil pump. When I started it I had 75 psi oil pressure. Drove it for several days and realized that my system was out of balance and I needed to go more mild. I removed...

I'm running speed pro hypers at 9.5:1.

The timing chain is new, the engine is completely rebuilt (by me) .040" over 360 (with 0 miles). I think the distributor is getting pulled and going back to Advanced AP.

I have a 1972 dodge dart with a V8, and points type distributor. I also have a distributor from a 1979 dodge ram, with the 2 wire electronic type... Can I use this distributor in my dart?

I have a 1972 dodge dart with a 360 and just bought a rebuilt distributor (points type) from the auto parts store and installed it with a pertronix ignitor kit. The timing jumps around a lot. I pulled the cap off to see if there was something wrong there, and I noticed that I can turn the...
