    Rebuilt TBI 350 coolant in oil

    I had that happen to me. Oil looked like pancake batter. Heads or block, I'd pull and have them find and fix. Mine was a magnafluxed block that was cracked. I got a few upgrades, 4 bolt main, timing chain etc on them.

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    Looks like our PO drilled a couple holes in the breather side baffle. I do know breather filter was pretty dirty/oily. I don't have a pic of baffle side.

    Distributor will hit edelbrock 3764 intake

    True, you guys get the gold star for helping the inexperienced. I appreciate everyone pitching in. It's these simple things that I can take for granted. Check out our "Betty Blue" build page. Father daughter build. Hopefully running before end of year. We install Saturday.

    Distributor will hit edelbrock 3764 intake

    I got it. Sat and played with old distributor. So I'll just loosen the distributor and rotate it counter clockwise and make the next post my #1. This way my rotor stays pointed at piston 1 and I have room to play with timing. Gold star?

    Distributor will hit edelbrock 3764 intake

    The dizzy, ignition module needs to be pointing more toward firewall. I've just never stabbed one and trying to make sure I understand it.

    Distributor will hit edelbrock 3764 intake

    Hmm, move dizzy on cam gear. So remove and reinstall 1 or two places counter clockwise? But engine is at TDC, and then rotor won't be pointing to piston one? I am hearing that we can make which ever post we want #1 and go in firing order. I am not getting how to get TDC and rotor pointing at...

    Distributor will hit edelbrock 3764 intake

    The distributor will hit the mounting post for the coil, as this post sits higher. New distributor is same height as old. I might have 3/8-1/2" if we have to advance distributor timing. Anyone run into with this intake?

    454 ACDelco water pump

    Did you also see fan blades in pic? So, it rotates clockwise in drivers seat? So that pushes air into radiator vs pulling?

    454 ACDelco water pump

    Yes, I meant new replacement acdelco. I assumed they were rebuilt.

    454 ACDelco water pump

    I saw a thread, but didn't know what protocol is. I have an ACDelco water pump fixing to put in the rebuilt engine. 1) Clean-up and install? Worry about age. 2) Get a rebuilt? Same ACDelco, they don't seem to make a rebuilt kit...I know I don't need HP. 3) So, is this std. Or reverse? Yes...
