Sounds a little like a problem with the anti-drain back valve in the oil filter but you'd think it would do it on the initial start up as well.

Assuming the factory 13 is accurate, that will give you 26* of mechanical advance.

Did you pay with a credit card. Having a charge back would probably get their attention. Did you supply the engine core or did they supply it? If you supplied the engine reversing the charge on your card might lose you the core.

Found another review of these (or at least similar) lights at http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=831061#post831061 His comment of "The halogens have some light above them while the LEDs do not. This actually has made it harder to see highway signage at any real distance at night...

I have an engine that is supposed to be a 66 273, that has the early (65) casting number heads but the heads have the larger bolts and late bolt angle and no sign of modification. Only thing I can figure is that they machined some of the early heads with the late bolt angle at the beginning of...

Reading the other responses I thought the 10.3 pistons were for a 340 (much larger bore than the little 273).

mikeyt2014, I don't think it is possible to get 10.3:1 compression. If you follow toolmanmike's build thread (link is in his signature line) and look at post 169 on page 7 he ended up with 9.6:1 using the "high compression" Egge replacement pistons with a little shaving on the heads.

Found an ebay listing for the same Sealed Power part number. I don't think this is what it looks like it is on the rockauto listing SEALED Power R 867R Steel Rocker Arm Pivot R867R Brand New Free Shipping | eBay

I drove my 1948 Plymouth from Omaha to the Bonneville Salt Flats going about 80mph on I-80 the whole way. Pulled (most) of the hills just fine and had enough power. My plymouth at that time had a 273 with 2-barrel and a 904 trans with a 8-3/4 rear with 2.94 gears. I would guess my Plymouth...

I don't see why hardware store bolts (preferrably painted) wouldn't work.

Cases will be different between /6 and small block but I'm guessing you already knew that.

Would 93 still be a hydraulically shifted trans or is that new enough to be electronically shifted?

Another factor to keep in mind is that you might need to have a custom torque converter made. From my reading here it is my understanding that the register in the crankshaft changed the same year the number of input splines changed on the automatic transmissions. When putting a late engine in...

Keep in mind the '64 and '65 273 heads have a different bolt angle for the intake than the later engines. You'll either need an intake for 64-5 engines or you'll have to egg out the holes on the intake so the later intake fits.

Nevermind, I think I found one.

I am having a friend rebuild my trans and the kit did not include a governor screen and of course he threw away the old one. So far I'm not finding anyone that sells this piece separately. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one? Thank you.

I'm no expert but the advice to check the timing mark against TDC seems like the place to start.

From what I've read (mostly here) the easy way to tell is by the bolt size. 5/16 is 64-5 and 3/8 is 66+.

I recently bought a 273 with a late 65 casting date that has 2465315-3 heads with the 66+ bolt angle and bolt size.

Intake angle and width between the heads is the same but the bolt is at a different angle. My 65 273 has a later 2bbl intake on it, accomplished by egging out the bolt holes in the intake. Not ideal since the bolt does not meet the intake flat but it worked.

Have a few more questions. I might have a chance at a little bit newer and lower mileage 318. Guy seemed a little confused on what year it was but it sounded like it might be new enough to have roller lifters (pre magnum though). I already have a set of 1965 heads I want to run (have a...

Thanks everyone. Based on what you've said 273, I'll probably leave the valves alone since the 273 2bbl pushed the car around just fine for what it is. If any of you have any other suggestions or things I should look out for I would appreciate your input. Thanks.

As a background, I have a 48 plymouth that a 1965 273 was swapped into at some point in its life. This site has been a great source for info on these little motors and that is why I joined here. Recently I went on a trip with the car (Bonneville) that was roughly 2300 miles (1050 each way plus...

Some of the later model BBD carbs had a solenoid operated by a computer to adjust fuel air ratio. That might be what your arrow points to but I'm not sure. I think they mostly came on Jeeps.

I don't think the 64-5 piece will help you since it was on the passenger side (just like the one you posted). I currently don't have a timing mark because I have an early timing cover (for cast iron water pumps) with a late (aluminum) water pump and had to remove the one like in the original...

I think it's the 64/5 273 that is different from 66 and newer.

Pishta, any chance you could either scan that or tell me where it was originally from? Thanks.

I recently purchased a 48 plymouth into which someone swapped a small block mopar engine. After looking up the casting numbers what I thought was probably a 318 is actually a 273 with a late (december I think) 1964 casting date. I'm assuming the engine started it's life in an a-body based on...
