SBC 350 with new cam will not start, only pops a couple times then nothing.
Like I said, it's a long story.. You, Donkey Dong and myself --- , well, we got over 50 years of poor carburetor design to correct right here in the next few posts.. Check with Donkey Dong, he's got this idea of a rotary manifold adapter to alleviate the angle shit...- RustyPile

It's a long 4 page story, but to bring you up to speed, read posts # 31, 32, 50, and 51.. Those will get you started, you can read the full thread after you submit your drafts for the preliminary design...- RustyPile

Just bought this truck and the starter is grinding
I was taught the same way.. But from having to deal with dumb parts counter people bringing out all sorts of wrong parts (flex hose, flex handle wrench, flex blade fan, etc.) when "flex plate" was specified, I started using the term "automatic flywheel"..- RustyPile

If it's a standard transmission, yeah you'll have to pull the transmission.. If it's an automatic, you won't.. Remove the drive shafts and plug the output "holes" with something to prevent fluid loss.. Remove the bolts attaching the flywheel to the torque converter. Support the transmission near...- RustyPile

It started with this: And went to this: By some miracle, my Holly carbed engines survived: (1) Wheels up launches (2) Dirt trackin' 4 wheel drifts (3) Two by four sideways mounted (4) Lap after lap of brake rotor glowing decelerations For over 12 years of serious racing with never a...- RustyPile

Oil pan gasket leak *SOLVED*
Have you considered (and checked) the possibility that something higher up is leaking and the oil is running down and collecting along the pan rail?? Oil pressure sender/switch or valve cover gasket comes to mind.. Three attempts doesn't necessarily mean you're incompetent, but you are...- RustyPile

drivability
What cam do you have that requires 1200 rpm idle speed.. Or for that matter -- why do you have the idle speed set at 1200?? although they will effect the idle speed, Idle mixture screws are not used to set the idle speed.. Have you checked to be sure the mechanical advance mechanism is working...- RustyPile

temp gauge question
Remove the gauge from the cluster for this test.. Remove the resistor from the back of the gauge.. Resistors don't have "polarity" so no need to make note of which end goes where, Only which two terminals where the resistor connects.. Using a reasonably accurate multimeter, check the resistor...- RustyPile

temp gauge question
Bad idea.. The gauge response to resistance change is not linear.. If you reset the needle, the only place in regards to actual coolant temperature the gauge reading will be accurate is when the coolant temperature is at 200 degrees, plus or minus a few degrees.. All other readings will be a...- RustyPile
