    Rebuilt 273 - starting for the first time! Help!

    Thanks everyone! I folded and took it to a local mechanic, just got it back yesterday. It's nice to have all 8 cylinders firing! :thumleft: It seems to be burning a little oil, and I've heard that the rings could still be trying to seat. Any input?

    Anyone is mid Michigan able to help me out?

    I'm not going to crank it anymore until I get a game plan in order. The mechanical pump was working correctly before the rebuild, of course that was about 5 months ago :-&

    This is exactly why I came here. I wanted to get some good info before I continued to try and get it going. The fuel pump is mechanical. We reused the cam because it was in surprisingly good shape.

    Rebuilt 273 - starting for the first time! Help!

    Hello - new to the site! This will be my first post so bear with me! Setup is a 1966 barracuda 273 two barrel. Auto trans. Just had the engine rebuilt by a local mechanic. Story is that the 3-4 week job turned into a 5 month ordeal (hard to get him motivated). I wound up calling it quits and...
