I say, put 16 dribblers in it and try it. Get the high flow squirter's out of there. If they flow that much oil, the lifters will never pump up.

Step 1 = They sell a kit that tests for combustion gases in the coolant system. Step 2 = If radiator is original, replace it, and if newer, have it flow checked. Step 3 = Check the condition of the water pump impeller. Step 4 = Your done, assuming the water pump drive set-up is correct and...

Could just be not enough HP. At higher speeds, you have a lot more air pushing on the front of the car. A 71 scamp does not have the most aerodynamic nose. 3600 pounds, 360, 3.55 gears, middle of the scale stall, should run high 12's or low 13's at 95 mph.

Sure, give up, just like the rest of the herd. I have made it my life's mission to buy American only, so when my job gets out sourced, I can at least rest assured that I did not cause it!

Put a good fuel pressure gauge on it that can be seen from the drivers seat and watch it when it happens! No sense in doing anything else until this is done!

Are those PINK shop towels? LOL

I have never 100% trusted using one. I would like very much to see the engineering data.

Also, you don't have to turn the engine during priming if you perform a simple camshaft trick before installing it. I chuck up the new cam in a lathe and machine a small grove on the two journals that feed the rockers. #2 & #4 journals. Half round grove 1/16" wide #1/16" deep. This allows oil to...

Lube of any kind can not penetrate the surface of a lifter or lobe. It is put there to help. High RPM splash from the rods is the only lube once the assembly lube is wiped away! I wait to install my intake till after I adjust valves so I can brush on as much lube thru the valley holes as I can.

yes

The best assembly paste I have found is Trixotropic Lube. Google it.

No, in my opinion, the wear surfaces that need lube the most, during first start are areas of very tight clearances, that, once assembled, no spray lube is going to get were it is needed. Instead, you should spend your time and money on using a good paste assembly lube during the build, using...

DON'T use aluminum gaskets! Remflex are the best

Basics first, check the firing order, could be 2 wires swapped.

Thin , black oil soon after an oil change is normal for Mobil 1. Why, I dont know but have never had a problem.

I have seen others T off the oil pressure hole next to the dist and run lines to the back of the heads. You can drill thru the back of the head to last rocker shaft pedastool and just modify the hole and the shaft. EASY!

What size allen wrench for inside vacumn advance diaphram? Mopar Performance small block dist

Most people do not use end gaskets, use rigid high temp silicone sealant. Both surfaces must be oil free (wiping it with a white rag) and clean (use alcohol) and must be assembled quickly.

I hope it is OK to add helpful hints. At the above pictured step I set the timing gears so the "dots" line up at 6 o'clock,top gear and 12 o'clock, bottom gear as the book states THEN rotate the engine 1 time so the "dots" are 12 o'clock on both gears. Next I go to the back of the camshaft and...

Most shops need all the parts to check if they are balanced. A good shop will never machine a damper, just check the balance of the one supplied by spinning the assembly twice, once with the damper and once without.

If it is a steel crank early 340, you will not have any issues. Both balancers are neutral .

You stated you are using roller rockers with hyd lifters. That means they are adjustable. There are many theories on correct lifter preload. You may be a little loose. Most people set them by fully bottoming them then backing off to get the least noise and best performance. I have seen some...

Also, if you had to much advance, that noise you heard may have been the starter snout breaking off!

I remember seeing Milodon instructions stating the K-frame needs to be cut/notched.

What year is the block, is it a 1993 or newer?

Some members can be very SNARKY but they are good at helping, after you get past the coarse exterior! Lets name them all 1)RustyRatRod 2)67Dart273 3)? List your favorite GRUMP!

If the cam manufacturer calls for a spec for valve adjustment with the engine HOT, how many thousands difference is there when its cold? I know the gap closes some when hot but how much?

Magnum heads? Did you check the cam bearing clocking at assembly?

Who did you buy it from. We can take care of him, our way, so this won't happen again.
