Would a 66 273 engine use the same harmonic balancer as a 69 318?

My freshly rebuilt 318 started a lifter tick at hihgway speeds that goes away when at city street cruising speed. It takes about 30 to 40 seconds for the ticking to subside after the rpms drop.. I checked oil pressure yesterday and was reading about 25 at idle and 35-40 peak when at high rpm...

So my question is this...How often should the oil pump drive gear be replaced? I have just built my 318 and other than the distributor and the oil pump gear, everything is new... I am experiencing a miss situation when I keep the car at a constant speed or take my foot off the...

I am running a 318 bored 40 over with kb pistons, comp 286 cam, 302 heads with an edlebrock carb and intake. I also have electronic ignition. My question is: Should I run the vacuum advance off of the timed port on the carb or the full manifold port off the carb. I have a choice. Right now I am...

Ok...It seems I've lost a connector off of one of the cables that connect to the starter. Does the small red one connect with the brown wire at the starter or does the small red one connect with the big red wire at the starter. My FSM shows the small red wire as a black wire from the starter...

Can a crank be removed from an engine without taking the heads off? I have just finished building my 318 and now it looks like I might have to take the crank back out to have the hole drilled for the pilot bushing. I haven't put the motor in the car yet, but it is completely assembled and...

Now another dilemma...I bought a used dipstick and tube from a guy online and it looks nice and clean and undamaged. The problem is that it fits loosely in the block. How should I go about tightening this thing up in the hole? Dan

I just put my 318 motor together with a 65 forged crank from a 273. My problem now is that I installed a new brass pilot bushing and the tool to center the clutch doesn't fit the new bushing. I also bought one of those larger bushing/bearings that fit in the end of the crank where a torque...

So I got a set of 302 heads from an 88 fifth avenue for my 71 318 block. I noticed there are holes on the exhaust port side of the heads below each of the exhaust ports. I guess they are some sort of pollution control fixture. When I pulled the heads from the 5th ave, it had those metal tubes...

How do I get the dipstick tube out of my 273 engine? I tried pulling one out of the motor I am rebuilding,and the tube broke off inside the hole. I have another engine with a tube in it, but don't want to break it trying to remove it. Any help would be appreciated. Dan
