I feel like you have tried this but on my BBC I have a kill switch on the ignition and I would get it cranking first then flip the ignition on this eliminated the flexplate and starter issues I had.

...I don't have to worry about knock retard. I actually trust this chip vs. the old 42lb injector Reds chip I had with 91 and GTP 37lb injectors cranked to 4 bar so it made them into 42lbers. -Makes about 12-13psi so far, I got the chip burned for up to 20 psi and the stock turbo will...

...top passenger side. The C5 as you probably know and like other LS accessories has the AC pump on the bottom, however the C5 uses 2 belts on the crank pulley and the crank pulley is in closer to the balancer than other LS cars (F Body etc.). I would like to relocate the AC unit up to the top...

That's why you rev it to the moon. Early 283 with the forged crank and rods from the factory? SEND IT!!!

After maybe 15 years laid-up, it started up after pouring an ounce of gas and cranking, after repeated about ten times, before fuel pump primed. Used some ether too. I guess it had to prime. I changed the oil put a new filter before I even tried to start it. It blew a bunch of rusty crap out...

I'm glad this thread was started...and I'm glad that I didn't pull the trigger on the BOP BH on CL in my locale being that it's not of the G-body lower pivot ball flavor. Well I might still buy it as I might go with a hydraulic TOB. 😆

...wheel to get a better look at the starter, the battery connection was just loose enough to turn, and i guess that was stopping it from cranking. Messed with the timing a bit and got it close, but it still definitely needs attention, as well as an oil change from all that brake cleaner and...

...this rotating assembly (https://www.texas-speed.com/p-1019-tsp-427-or-429-cid-ls3l92-rotating-assembly.aspx) I called and spoke with them, I can get it with 4.075" pistons. Does anyone know anything about Texas Speed and Performance or their parts? The forged 8.1" stroke crank is $875 by...

😂 I'll make sure to print this comment out and tape it to the motor when it's on the dyno - it needs to know it's under pressure!!

...lock. One expensive option is to replace the mechanical fuel pump with an electric in tank pump and wire it to prime the fuel system before you crank. Another test for the accel pump is to manually depress the plunger all the way down with your finger and release it. The accel pump plunger...

I had the driveshaft thought as well. But blowing up the picture it looks new with the sticker still on it. Though possibly the pinion bearing as well as the other ones you mentioned Nick

...a money no object plan and want to still call it a 307? Start with a Old's 350 DX block sleeve it down to 307 specs and build from there. Cranks, rods and pistons forged with small dome, choose cam lift and duration to DCR of about 7.5 or so to run pump gas. Gapless rings on seconds, Molly...

...other things to check first, because the engine is a system... Air... Fuel... Fire and then all contained in a mechanical device regulated by crank position, valves, valve position, compression and gaskets that supposedly keep things where they should be. First things when keeping these old...

We've seen the Monte Carlo thread, you like complication in your life..

That's great to know and thanks for the sources. I was always amazed by how my odd-fire 231 came to life with just cam and lifters and I also had the carb re-jetted. Now to find a G Body in the PNW that is not a rust bucket and hasn't already recieved its transplant. Seems easy enough...

Those are factory bits? Model specific?

...and not a super beetle. So it’s gone up in value without me doing anything, score. My son can’t wait for me to finish the 36 so I can pull the beetle in to start working on it. I promised him I would be able to get it running so we could go for a ride. Tall order since it doesn’t even crank.

For 1/10th the cost a guy could buy some decent carb books and learn to fix the problem, permanently, rather than TRY to mask it over.

Shame you're down south, I have a heat only set up for a Chevy/GMC that looks like I won't be using.
