Need help with 440 break in

lets see...if i dont prime the engine...and it runs without oil pressure...I have to remove engine from car and fix bearing..and camshaft...

so what is easier?

i would set the timing while it is running at 2000 rpm to about 30 degreees..total...

the holley carb should be fine..just make sure the bowl is full of gas ....

Is the camshaft coated with a moly lube?

Make sure the ignition is working and is firing ....while distributor is out....turn it by hand with coil wire off and key on...see if it produces spark

To get the intermediate shaft out....get BIG Screw driver and turn it counter clock wise on a BB...it should walk up the cam gear..

make sure you all your hoses are tight...and radiator is full of water....have hose available to spray radiator if engine gets hot.....

If you have to shut engine off due to any leaks....shut it off....and went restarting get back to 2000 rpm...
