It did end up being the pressure relief valve in the pump! We just got frustrated and tried it with the pump off the old block, and it showed pressure so that led me to find out what the difference between those two things are and sure enough the pressure relief valve in the new pump is just...

This is the one, right?

We have not tried a different filter, but hearing about that second plug behind the front cover is one of the things I was hoping to hear about. If they can forget to put the back plug in they can forget to put the front one. I'll have to pull the harmonic balancer and timing cover to see

I went out and checked after I saw that, sadly that isn't it this time. Would have been really nice to be that simple though!

That is correct. We packed the pump with Vaseline and crank it over with no filter just to verify visually that it primed and got flow. After we cleaned up the mess we refilled the filter and put it on, crank again and get no oil pressure. Push the valve cover off to get visual on the valve...

Thank you for the idea, I went and double-checked. It just has the short nub with the threads on it

You are correct, talk to text didn't pick that up and I didn't proofread well enough

Helping a buddy try to get his wife's car running, and we've run into a bit of a problem. 1964 barracuda, slant 6, 1965 block with 1975 head. Just had the engine built by matco in Texas and we installed it today. Got everything buttoned up, go to crank it for break-in and we get no oil...

No way!! That's awesome! I will check that out, was sad about the thought of giving up on the novelty of the push button shifter

Original motor was a slant six, I've got a magnum 360 in it now. I had to get a machined adapter bushing from torque flight Patty to make the current transmission fit so this 727 will let me eliminate that bushing. It also comes with a 10-in converter that has 2,200 RPM stamped on it and I am...

Last Saturday I was given a freshly rebuilt 727 to put in my 64 dart, so I will have to get a floor shifter for it since I can't see how to make it work with the push button shifter. I got online and was hit with option overload... I'm looking for recommendations, pictures are a big help too if...

These are factory manifolds from gm LT1 engine, anything look vaguely familiar about these??? Old knowledge I'm sure, but I got a good laugh after seeing them for the first time today.

It's all put back together now, I'll try to get a video of it running with the valve cover off to show the oil flow. I had a lot of little teething problems to overcome, pushrod clearance in the tunnels, manifold gaskets not sealing at the water passage, head casting needing clearanced for...

This block I had shaved to get the pistons at .010 below deck, and I'm using .028 gasket set. The heads are not shaved at all yet. I also wanted my adjusters up high to keep my fulcrum and contact points in line for best geometry I'm going to get short of a kit from b3. All said and done and I...

These are procomp/speedmaster 170 as cast. I did a moderately decent Port job on them here at the house. I used brass tubing to sleeve the push rod tunnels, and ground away all of the aluminum to open the pushrod pinch until I hit the brass. Worked on the roof and the sides, took the ridge off...

For the double gasket job I brushed RTV on them and glued them together, waited until they dried and then put them on. I did do the RTV on the China rails and around the water ports as well. I think the biggest problem is simply that the bolts were bottoming out against the side of the bolt hole...

No but that would be pretty good combo. And these are the procomp/speedmaster 1.6 stainless rockers.

That one *is* going to have to wait till this weekend, once I discovered I'm leaking water into the oil I shut it off. I don't want to run the risk of scoring my bearings. Turns out I cut my intake flanges on the manifold down a little too far and had to double gasket. I don't think that's the...

I got another 15 years before my youngest is out of the house, nicer heads are going to have to wait a minute.. in the meantime though these heads are flowing better and saving me 50 lb over my original Magnum heads so I'm as happy as a hog in slop at the moment

Okay, I know I said I'd have it up and running by this weekend but screw that noise. I skipped dinner and got it cranked up about 20 minutes ago. We getting oil up top! It's filling up the rocker and coming out the dribbler hole to the valve tip just as planned:D:D:D don't look like much right...

By this weekend, I will have the results in. I'm still buttoning up a few things that you can see ain't quite put together yet, and then I got some tuning to do, but when I see that beautiful Texas tea oozing out of all the right places I'll make sure to snap a video.

No offense to all the fine folks who said it was a pain in the ***, because it is. Just not in the same way y'all thought.

I'm running out of room, so I've got a couple of parts to get rid of. I've got a set of rear Monroe shocks $20, flexplate from a 225/904 combo $15, 225/904 dust cover $10, 225/904 starter $25, 1965 P.B. 904 trans (ran when pulled but drum band slips and needs tightened) $75, 17-in fan connected...

Even guesses can be helpful, because it wasn't my own guess. When you're working on your own stuff sometimes you get single track minded and overlook some obvious things that other people, being a little further removed from the frustration, may think of when you don't.

Wow.. good info. I'll have to pay attention to that when I get the manifold off and verify.

About three and a half years ago while replacing some head gaskets, I didn't get the pushrod centered on the lifter. It got stuck on the lip and I didn't catch it before I cranked it over. It bottomed out the valve spring and bent the push rod. I must have damaged the spring back then, and it...

Lol I still appreciate it

That's exactly what it turned out to be, broken exhaust valve spring

Got plenty of clearance on that front, they are good to .575 and I am at .555 at the exhaust. Thinking back a few years, I installed the pushrod incorrectly on that spring once, push rod was sitting on the lip of the lifter, I cranked it up and bent the push rod. Turns out I must have damaged...
