It did sit for three months without running while waiting for the new head to be done. Changed the oil and filter. I will check all the above. It is like what else. Thanks, everyone. Blue

So now the motor is back together and fired it up. The hydraulic lifters rattled a little then quitted down. It seems to shutter back and forth. Like a rough ideal but it take fuel and rpms go up but when letting off at idle again it starts to shake some. I don't remember it doing this before...

Ok so here it is. After working and trying everything even a new orange box. I still had no fire to the plugs. Took a couple of days to think things over. If everyone remembers I blew the top rad, hose off and it soaked everything under the hood. By the bulkhead connector there are two plugs one...

Just got my new orange box. Now after reading more into what wire goes to ground or negative on the coil. I see the black wire with yellow stripe should be on negative of coil. That is the one I put on the positive side. Think might have fried my orange box. Will know more tomorrow. Sure hope...

Been over all these same lines. I did clean the bulkhead connections with contact cleaner. It is strange. Drove the car in the garage before pulling the heads. Had a crack in one of the heads below the exhaust holes. Had to pull both heads to paint my shock towers over again due to paint was...

Welcome. Need pictures of the project. Love Pic's!!!!!!!

Recently removed the heads on my 383. Put everything back together and now have no spark. Know I hooked up my tack wire on the positive and moved it back to the negative side of coil. Replaced the coil thinking it might be bad. Showing low voltage at the coil. Tested the ECU and it test right...

Good job. It looked like someone had danced on my trunk lid. Also, someone had punched out the lock to get access it looked like. Took a lot of work to get everything out. Grate job keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

Update. Got the shift handle out by putting a 20 thou. feeler gage on both sides then got my slide hammer and gave it a few taps and it came right out. Thanks for the info. Blue.

So, update. Now having a problem with getting my shift handle out of the hurst mechanism. It is the old style with the pinch plates to hold the handle in. Tried the feeler gauge down by the handle on the drives side but it just does not come out. Any help is appreciated.

Must apply sealer on the head and China wall where the hold down bars are. Put Teflon pipe dope on your manifold bolts. U Tube the valley pan and intake in stall. There is a good video of doing this. Must run sealer in the crack at the head and hold down area of the block and go up the head...

OOP'S. Sorry did not mention the console. My bad. It is an old age thing, I guess. Fixing to tackle it as soon as the motor is all back together after replacing the driver's side head that had a crack developed below the exhaust manifold. Pulled both head so I could paint the shock towers...

Ok. Good information. So, I guess I will have to pull the console also. Darn.

So, need to get my A833 trans. out of my 69 roadrunner to seal replacement. Question is will I have to pull the shifter out of the car or can I just unbolt it from the trannie and work the trans. past it.
