I will probably go on Saturday. I don't want to go through all 14 pages so can someone tell when you guys will be set up?

Yea that tunnel ram would look real cool while I'm not starting my engine.

Sweet. I love new parts. Both of those cams are real monsters but I've heard that hemis require a lot of lift and overlap.

It's 180º of cam timing.

Thanks guys. George I have that book and will take a look at it. I was thinking about this in bed last night. Tell me if this is not correct. The crank and damper are indexed so the pistons are at a defined position at each crank position. Therefore if the crank is set at zero on the...

I think you guys are right. I did have the distributor gear and oil pump shaft out and they looked brand new. I actually thought about turning the gear so it's in proper phase but that won't take care of the initial cause. Thinking back I noticed a stumble when I stepped on it lately but...

I am not positive but pretty sure that I am at top dead center. As I said I didn't pull the valve cover to monitor valve movement. However even if the engine turns another 360º it will still be two cylinders off. The rotor is now pointing at the #4 terminal now. If the rotor turned 180º, it...

The mystery deepens. Pulled distributor and it looks brand new. No problems with the shaft or on rotation. Pulled the bronze gear/oil pump rod, it also looks brand new. I am 90º out of phase and can't find out why. Is a check of the timing chain and the front of the engine the next move?

Re: Fuel Pump Issue Update: It's definitely timing. I set the damper to 0º, top dead center (I am pretty sure but I didn't take the valve covers off). The rotor is pointing two cylinders past #1 so that's about 90º off!!!! I can't even imagine how this is possible, I can't rotate the...

Re: Fuel Pump Issue X3 but I think Jack has a roller as he has a brass tipped pushrod (that doesn't sound quite right does it?) Yeah, it's a hydraulic roller but it probably wouldn't hurt to use the stuff. What brands do you use?

No gauge nor regulator. I just run an electric pump that gives about 7 psi and plumbed it in front of the gas tank and the mechanical pump.

I have 1/2" spacers on mine and it didn't seem to do squat for helping starting, or anything else for that matter. That is why I put in a small electric pump that I use only when starting the engine.

Re: Fuel Pump Issue Well I mis-diagnosed the problem. Put everything back together and am getting fuel but the thing still would not start. The fuel line to the carb still is not full but as I think about it, that is probably because the fuel goes back via the return line. I am getting a...

Re: F&B 6BBL XFI2.0 572Hemi(close shave) Good thing you caught it, losing that engine would be awful. How did you think to pull the oil pan?

Re: Fuel Pump Issue That happens a lot these days. :huh: I have sure seen much worse so I am a little surprised at this. There is maybe a quarter inch chewed off the rod which doesn't seem like that much compared to a pic Stu posted on fbbo a while back. I will put it back together and see...

Changed title to reflect current diagnosis. This not at all what I was expecting. My Runner wouldn't start last weekend and it was clearly fuel as the carbs were bone dry. I kept taking stuff off and really couldn't see a problem. I have an electric pump on the back in-line with the...

I haven't posted because I don't really have an opinion beyond the '69 and '68 in that order. Seventies are OK but are not in my top five. On other Mopars that are my favorites: 1968 Charger - Still a glorious looking car. Don't care for the '69 taillights. 1964 Plymouth Fury or Belvedere -...

Stu, Why does that '70 have an umbilical cord? :pot:

Glad it was a painless and relatively cheap fix.
