Pesky zeros always causing problems. LOL

I guess I need to finalize this thread. It turned out to be the eccentric wheel broke the tip of the key and was spinning free. The key had a slight nick or ding on the corner when I installed it but I didn't think it would become an issue. I guess at 6400 RPM you will always find the weak link.

Still nothing with the cap off.

Mechanical. I pulled the fuel line from the tank side and stuck a short piece of fuel line in a gas can and still got nothing, I'm reasonably certain the pump is bad so I ordered a new one. If that doesn't do it I'll pull the timing cover and see what's up, but I don't hear anything weird in...

Yeah, but before I dropped $150 I thought I'd see if I was missing something.

Thursday night I was at the track and just finished a run and I was heading back to the pit area when the car stumbled and died. It re-fired and died again. I had another racer look into the carb while I cranked and there was no fuel. So I disconnected the fuel line running from the pump to the...

4.10's And I'll have to check the radiator a little more closely.

It's a stock pulley and the fan came in a shroud.

200-210° and then I am usually able to shut it down. This almost always happens at the track in line and by the time I'm at the tree, it's much higher than I really want.

360 .40 over, stock pistons, Eddie heads, Air Gap manifold, medium Eddie cam, headers aluminum radiator and electric fan. I always have an overheating problem when the temps get over 85°. Not driving down the highway, but as soon as I slow down or wait at a light. The radiator is in excellent...

I just got back from 3+ weeks in sunny Huntington Beach and the whole time I was gone this issue was on my mind. I got a cheap stethoscope from Amazon and when I got home today fired up the car and started sticking it where I thought it was coming from. Nothing in the valve train that I can...

OK, I got some time and replaced the rocker arm, re-lashed all the valves again and took off the dust cover for the trans and looked for any issues with the torque converter...nothing changed. However, when I start the car the tap/knock isn't there. It comes in after about 30 seconds of running...

They were on there when I bought it, but they appear to be Proform.

Thanks Dave, already have a new one coming.

I got it.

So I went out this morning and pulled the valve covers. I was checking the adjustment nuts for tightness and this one just about fell off. Notice the different color of the rocker arm too.

During the installation of the headers, I had to remove the oil filter relocation system. Because it was empty I didn't get oil pressure right away. After 8-10 seconds I shut it down and got a primer rod. After priming for a minute oil pressure was fine.

I didn't touch the converter bolts in my work. But it got me thinking about the trans pressure. The last time I had an issue with the kick down linkage being out of adjustment it made a grinding sound too...I don't know what t was but proper adjustment stopped it.

I just thought of something. I was adjusting the trans kick down linkage right before this too.

It actually softens up a little when revving.

Well, that's the first place I'm going in the morning that's for sure. LOL

No. The valve covers don't feel like it's there. I'll pull the covers off and see what's up next.

Pushrod? Connecting rod? I didn't mess with the bottom end of the motor at all so that seems like a strange coincidence to happen all of a sudden.

You think it's a loose rocker arm?

I rebuilt the top end of my 360 with new heads, intake, cam, hydraulic lifters, and carb. I had an oil pressure prob at startup and shut it down until I could get a rod and prime it. Then went through the break-in without issue. I went to the muffler shop today to get the exhaust all patched up...

For what?

Just to put a finish to this I bought a new factory style paper gasket and replaced the cork one that was there. I'm not sure if the original gaskets were cork, but this one was. Anyway, it still leaked. I went ahead and ordered the Canton aluminum plate and all is well. Oh, and I picked up...

Well, I'll be dipped. This is why I love this forum. Thanks.

No 90° adapter. And are you saying there is a plate between the block and the filter? Does it screw on as well? I thought the filter screwed to the block. I don't have someone to watch where it's coming from and I don't know if you could tell exactly if I did have someone.

I have been fighting an issue for a week now. 360 LA (74-79) that is gushing oil at the filter location. I had a remote plate on it when I bought it and it was fine. Then I bought new headers and when I put it back on it leaked. Off and on several times and then I bought a new remote kit. It...
