    Rebuilt 340 knocking sound

    You may be signing up for heart surgery when all you have is a bad connection . I have seen bad electrical systems cause misfiring, low rpms, crazy oil pressure readings and knocks . The orginal regulators 6 volt for dash gauges are a joke. Plugged oil pickups are possible but the builder...

    How do I Rotate the Engine by Hand?

    Go under the car your back and grab the harmonic balancer with two hand and turn it like a steering wheel. It should spin easily . I can do it a 340 with the plugs in from the top . If it doesnt move something ain't right .

    Classic industries radiator finally gave out

    Just a thought but why not find the leak (pressure test it) and repair it with a propane torch, solder. There are like chains they break at the weakest link. I have repaired rads (for pennies) decades ago because it took less time than finding a replacement and they still hold pressure today.

    Bad knocking under feet

    I had a 727 out of a truck that had a slightly different extention housing on it. A snap ring access was different and It bumped against the the transmission tunnel in a Abody . Also if they swapped the transmission or torque converter the drive train may be unbalanced.?
