Been a while, I have only driven the car like 3 times so far this year… we have not been to the track, it’s been a year off issues
For me trip was to a local sub shop, found a couple oldies in the parking lot and joined them
Drove her down to work open headered so I could get some exhaust onto it
June 3rd the wife’s car took a dump spent way too long doing timing chains twice since one of the cams was off 1 tooth after the first time… that wasn’t fun
Drove the Elco to work that Wednesday since she needed my truck it died in my way to work I coasted to the gas station, it was real hard to get started, got to work,
left work a little early since it was our anniversary, get like a mile down the road it looses tach signal and bang bang bang, popping out of the exhaust, though that was odd.
Took a little bit to get started again decided to take back road home in case somthing isn’t right, well it wasn’t died again and would not start.
It would kick like the timing was way way advanced but dizzy was hasn’t moved
Wif came and pulled me back to work. that Friday I brought the trailer to work and on the way brakes start grinding on the truck
Did a bunch of trouble shooting, ended up finding the ground wire in the connector on the hei cap was not seated correctly, replace the ignition module
replaced the starter because I didn’t trust it after being smack so hard every time it would kick,
Found the rear bearing on my alt ejected itself so replaced that… yay for cheap reman
Running good again, put it in the trailer and head home.
Get home and take it out for a rip and once it got over like 2000rpm it would break up real bad and sound like trash, back in the trailer it went for a few weeks
Pulled it back out one weekend, cleaned the carb throughly, checked over a few things, checked timing trying to get rid of the breaking up, 9-21* of initial timing no change in the break up, did alittle better on the high end of that timing but still wasn’t right
Back in the trailer it went since her car was in the garage still torn apart
For even longer as we went on vacation in that time too
Got the new rear radials
And still sitting in a stack in the garage because we have not gone to the track and it hasn’t been driven at all
Got the girls car all buttoned up finally, cleaned the garage decided to tear down the 350 the rest of the way
Toasted, block was cracked by the rod, piston smacked the head, cam was now a multi part piece
Replace plug wire and dizzy, check the plugs, this weekend and now she rips!
Summit blue printed hei dizzy, summit spiral core cut to fit plug wires and cleaned up the routing with moroso holders
Stuffed her back in the garage, had to make it tight to fit the
Golf cart in there too since on tomarrow sounds like here in mn is supost to be hit with some heavy storms. Bummed I was hoping to drive it
To work tomarrow
