I have a vaccum pump. What were your thoughts? I will look at A/F kits today. The last thing that came to mind last night, was cranking vac advance.

windage screen covers top of crank also

Yup looks flat, see if there's an 8 bolt Crank Spacer, they are .400" thick if I remember right.

...the new ring gaps on his really cool machine for filing rings. we had to widin them for possibilities in the future. Today I'll be cleaning the crank I've got it in the back seat of my truck. This afternoon I'll head back to marks and see what else I can get done either on this or his Malibu...

Crank it up and get a multimeter on the alt to see if it's charging, check all the cable connections and grounds. The cold weather wreaks havoc on batteries. Good luck

Didn't know that was a thing, how's it work? I have the same wheel.

This is the flexplate I got I don’t recall if it came with a spacer.

...I'd get a second opinion. Haul the block with main caps and bearings installed/torques, rods and pistons with rod bearings installed and the crank to a machinist or trusted engine builder to re-measure. The worst thing that can come of this is a crank polish/minor cut. I would NOT put it...

...6.0 over most any other diesel. Well lucky me this week I worked on two. One was no start. Had high pressure oil leak. Only made 100psi cranking but needs over 500psi to start. Found the screen on the hpop pressure regulator caved with small bits holding the regulator open. Pulled the lid off...

...racing piston in Illinois has a good selection of pistons with decent compression ratios off the shelf. I'd also suggest using a stock turbo crank and turbo rods. You should be able to get them cheap, all the turbo guys tend to go forged aftermarket (which is still also pretty cheap). I...

...Now to the nitty gritty, this weekend I looked over a few things, hoses, belts, wires etc. I first wanted to see if the car was even going to crank before I even started to change a bunch of parts. I added a new battery, disconnected the fuel pump and this SOB cranked. Sweet. I then got a new...

...or maybe rebalanced? They do come weighted to spin true from the factory but use, abuse, and few cycles of pounding out and replacing U-joints can tweak them. Other weird and possible options can include a bent crank pulley, a cracked flexplate, or a damaged flywheel or pressure plate Nick

...on it is more than that, so you are already net zero minus time and gas to go pick it up. I had two 403 one was built, one just block and crank, both stolen. 403s not easy to find any more. I know where some DX diesel blocks are but they are 350 just as is. So a 403 for 300 not bad in...

I agree. With the new alternator and associated wiring I'd start there by double checking that everything is routed correctly, connected tightly, and wired to the right pins on the connector plugs. This of course is if replacing the belt and setting the tension doesn't solve the issue. I'm also...

Thanks I will be priming with a drill. I was leaning towards the 30W but nothing is set in stone. I plan on the 20 minutes at 2000 rpm for the cam then drive around in low gear, revving the throttle up and down a bunch of times to seat the rings then change the break in oil to the Lucas Hotrod...

...You have to epoxy it in and grind the hex flats off the back side to clear the block. Looks super clean. Than I bought a spare wire dipstick/handle, removed the wire and just use the handle as a plug, keeping the real dipstick in the trunk so it soesn't get wrapped up in the crank(and it will)

Sorry for the late reply on this! I have to call and ask exactly what he did, but basically he built it to handle around 600hp. I'm shooting for high 400s to the crank, so I have plenty of wiggle room there! Based on the cam specs/gear/tire/etc. I had him do a 3000ish converter in it as well.

...manually just half way to set the auto choke and for a quick shot of fuel into the intake, with a turn of the key, with less than a full crank, the engine roared to life almost instantly, and that was from a cold start. But after i rebuilt the distributor with a GM module, GM pickup, a...

Correct. I have not checked fuel pressure after stall because by the time I hooked it up to test pressure it would be back to normal. As I said after a minute of sitting it purs like a kitten until going down road for another mile or so.

Tried to take the "Parts car - turned project" '78 Cutlass out for a cruise last Saturday, it cranked for about 5 seconds and stopped, then nothing. Bad battery cable connection - check - Good. Battery voltage - check- good. Jiggled the wires down to the starter and it tried to crank but stopped...
