    Oil pressure idiot light stays on

    All throughout the break-in period and tuning on an indoor dyno, the 360 we built for my son's car maintained a solid 60-70 lbs oil pressure. Engine is now in the car and running great; however, the dash light stays constantly on. Any ideas why this is happening? I suppose I could tie-in a...

    Murphy's Law strikes again

    All summer, yes, all summer long, we had plenty of time to deal with any problems that might crop up with my son Aaron's Dart Sport, while he was home from college. But no, it had to happen the very day he needed to leave and head back to school. Last Friday, Aaron and I loaded his trunk...

    This makes no sense to me

    I really could use some good pics of a small block oil dipstick installed. I cannot understand why all of the new ones I find for sale are absolutely straight as an arrow, because the hole in the front of Aaron's 360 is drilled at an angle that would have the dipstick pointing right into the...

    Need pics of linkage

    Not really an "engine" question - more like things on the engine. Can some of you with small blocks and Holley 4-bbls please show pics of the brackets and linkage mounted to your intake for the throttle and kickdown. I have some parts, but I don't know where they go and how they are related...

    Getting soooo close

    Alright, guys, start-up time is fast approaching. A few more minor issues to resolve, then Aaron and I will be ready to crank up his new 360. Yesterday, I talked to the mechanic that rebuilt his Holley carb. I asked him for suggestions on a break-in procedure. Since Aaron and I have only...

    What about your oil pressure sending unit?

    The sending unit on Aaron's 360 from his grandparents' Maxivan has three wire terminals that plug into the van's wiring harness. Since this engine is going into his slanted Duster, there is only one wire in the harness for an oil pressure sending unit from the slant six. How did you guys...

    How do you pull a van's engine?

    Sorry, this isn't A-body related, but I figured it would be the best place to get an answer. I know some of you probably own, or at least have worked on, a full-size van. How do you pull the engine? Do you have to remove the entire front clip, or can you come out the passenger door with a...

    Is the throttle supposed to be this sensitive?

    My son's slant six-powered Dart Sport has the Super Six with Carter BBD. As he backed it out of the shop and pulled it around behind the trailer to load up for a trip to the paint shop, it kept spinning out in the gravel and dirt. I got in to drive it up onto the trailer, and as he said, just...
