...so no follow up after that.
From Ignition switch "Yellow" to P/N Safety Switch and Purple from Safety Switch to Starter facilitates cranking as long as in Park or Neutral.
Diagram doesn't show Ignition Switch, but does show wire from Switch to HEI connector as Pink. Wire needs to be...
I think it would be cool to have a hand crank geared rotater on one of the rotating pivots. This thing is gonna be great for The Jug when it gets ready to have the body done!
I only have a few pictures of it on my phone. It’s got a 350 with Megasquirt, crank trigger LS coil packs, th400. Did a frame off on it with my dad when I was younger. What year is your blazer?

Are aftermarket olds heads not an option anymore?
But then again, to do all that wouldn't you start with a 350 block?
Is this something your seriously considering?
...on each torque converter bolt and added one more thin on each. Good thing I removed the torque converter big snout edge. It would have hit the crank pilot edge, it just clears. The TH350 cover doesn't completely cover the bottom. I cut off a piece of a rubber 4L60E pan gasket. I installed...
...disabled. Also starter check and starter diagnostics are disabled. I have checked to make sure that I am getting 12volt with key on and while cranking. Checked my grounds throughout the harness. I have fuel pressure. I have 12volt at my driver/passenger ignition connector. Even put a...
Wow! Supercool and EFI too!
Can you describe the EFI? TB, crank and cam trigger? I’m going to get a stealth TB, but guessing sucks.
How about some cam specs as well? That is a sh*t ton of power below 6000rpm’s.
x2.
Hose from the pump disconnected from the carb. Crank it over to see if your pulling fuel from the tank.
If not?
Check connections @ the tank. Drop the tank & verify the rubber hoses that connect the hardlines out of the tank (sending unit) to the hard lines on the chassis are in good...
No clue about watching the tach0meter for movement while cranking to check for a possibly bad IGM.
Just get the proper THERMAL paste needed, its a tight clearence between the module and mounting surface of the distributor, so just spread and a very small and even amount, with a credit card, id...
...them, but to your question on sitting for months, AGM will definitely sit longer without a charger/tender hooked up and retain more of it's cranking power than a flooded battery of same rating.
I have the Deka Intimidator dual terminal 34/78 AGM in mine since Jan 2017, I do keep an AGM...
So how exactly are you lubricating the cylinder walls, pistons, piston rings, small end of connecting rod, and most of the valvetrain by priming? Curious minds want to know.
...later I tried starting it & it wouldn't start. Prepared this time, I checked spark & it's fine. It's flooding. I held the pedal to the floor & cranked it & it sputtered to life. Chugging, barely running then eventually settled down. I don't know why it would flood after it sits for a while...
Don't bother. If you're that concerned, unplug the coils and crank it over for 20 second with no spark plugs. You'll get oil pressure quick and with no load on it.
...installed a Cloyes Double Roller timing chain set that's been around so long it could legally buy booze. This of course was after I hunted the crank gear for an hour, which had moved numerous times over the years and gotten separated from its bigger brother. The oil pan was replaced with the...
...back, this problem predates that by quite a bit. I seem to recall my dad lamenting the thing running out of fuel back around 2018, I believe he got there because he had the vacuum modulator cranked to the moon and back. I had to fiddle with the governor to get it to wind up hard enough for that.
...and scraper is more important than capacity. You need to worry about oil control at higher rpm. Engine HP doesn't dictate oil capacity. Crank stroke and rpm dictate oil pan needs. I ran my 548 making 910 hp with 6 qts in it. But I had a good pan that got the oil away from the crank...
Let me get some coffee in me and I'll head back out to the garage. Couple other things I want to check as well.
But yes I see rpm when it is cranking. I'm going to verify injectors next. Being clogged might be a possibility, I did new AN lines front to rear. Possibly had enough debris...
