We can hardly wait! :D Sounds like you're really close. So did you spin the motor over by hand a couple times just to make sure everything is assembled correctly? It sure would suck to have to tear into that thing again.

Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!! :wav: I hope you enjoy many trouble-free miles of cruising :thumrigh:
 
My buddy got some of it on video yesterday when it was running kinda crappy,but it was running fine when i closed the coke :scratch: it seems tolike that alot but if u let it go she stars to surge! :scratch:
 
Somewhere in this thread I noticed someone said the timing marks should be cam sprocket on top and crank sprocket should both be on top.
Both of my manuals ( Haynes 71-89 Repair manual and How to Hot Rod SB Mopar's ) say that the marks should align cam on bottom and crank on top. Are these manuals wrong? When I degree'd the cam it was right on the money. If the books are wrong let me know as the engine is still on the stand with the head off, and should be an easy fix. BTW it's a '71 360 engine.
 
Just noticed later in the thread that the dots on top or bottom doesn't matter as long as the crank dot is on top and the cam dot is aligned on top or bottom and this only affects distributor placement. Whew, this really makes me realize that I've been away from engine basics WAY to long. Last engine I built was a 455 Pontiac for my '69 GTO way back in '85. Gee, I'm glad I got back into this hobbie. :thumrigh:
 
NO the books are right. Cam gear pointing down and crank gear pointing up.
 
:cheers: She firerd right up an idled great no probs,the new 650 Demon has me one happy camper,the reg. is set at 6psi an does she ever run like puring kittin well one crazy *** Lion,this is by far the best running motor ive ever been around,i never though that i would hav gotin it all right this time.She right on tap,u hit that throttle an shes right on tap no probs what so ever,this is one healty motor,an shes pissed an ready to hit the streets in a few weeks,she ready to prow the streets agian :twisted: :twisted: i wish u guys all could of been there to hear her run :thumrigh: An THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO HAS PUT AN EFFORT OUT TO HELP ME OUT IT MEANS ALOT TO ME :thumrigh: my buddy is a computer an photo/video master hes goining to help me out get some clips of her running uncapped for all of yur ears to bleed to :twisted: cant wait to put the muffs on so i can hear that gear drive pissin away :thumleft: cantwait

THANKS AGIAN GUY YOUVE ALL BEEN A BIG HELP TO ME AN THE ZOMBIE
MIKE :twisted:
 
If your SURE the timing is right, make sure you don't have some crappy rubber fuel lines that have collapsed. This happened to a friend of mine and it belched fuel every time. It was seending chunks of rubber into the carb. The car would only fire for a few seconds and then die.
 
nope shes all fine now all new 12 alum line with -8an fittings all the way to the carb,i didnt want mess around with all that rubber crud
 
Workin on it right now just got a good clip of her runnin today,an man on the suroundsound shes a beast :twisted:
 
Make sure she's getting fuel.
I had a brand new fuel pump on one of my small block rebuilds and it failed!
We could never figure out why it wouldn't light....then I realized, it wasn't getting any fuel in the carb.... Come to find out, the new fuel pump wasn't pumping...
 
Not wanting to read all 7 pages, what was wrong? Miloden timing set dot to wrong dot or bad fuel flow?
