In my 65 I have a 68 383 with eddy heads and headman headers #6 and 5 plug are tight but I just bought 2 DEI protectors for plug wires from auto zone, No issues other than that. I also have a fire core electronic ignition vacuum advance no issues at all

Well a little update. I took the block I had it hot tanked and it was already 30 over . Had the rotating assy balanced , I ordered new forged pistons while they were balancing it. Ordered an Edelbrock top end kit for it and got it together this weekend and dropped in this afternoon. Just sat...

They look like new, I was surprised really

It also has what I believe are Keith black pistons. Bottom end looks to be balanced , A weiand dual plane intake 750 Holley, headers 2and half inch exh. 2500 stall and 4 10 gears

Here is pics of the oil pump

Well I got around to pulling the motor. Got it tore down. It has a lobe wore off the cam and lifter wore pretty bad. everything else looked good. So I plan on new bearings rings a new cam and lifter set. New oil pump just for precaution. Now to decide what cam to order. Thanks for all the...

I thought the same thing. I ordered a complete gasket set and have reached out to a local Mopar guy and he said he will guide me through it. I want to do the work myself so I know and to me that’s the best way to learn. I will make it run as good as it looks .

I really hope not

I would guess the shop that did the work probably seen an easy mark. The old guy that had it wasn’t in good health and had it “ a little milder” according to his son. He didn’t drive it much after it was done. I drove it around late summer last year and put it up. Never ran as good as I thought...

Thanks guy's . I figured it was missing some items. I guess now to decide I have an extra set of rollers and push rods I may do a cam swap and change a few items out give her a little more get up and go. Thanks for all the replies and helpful links.

I have been struggling to get this motor to run right. First it wouldn't hold a time the timing mark jumped around on the balancer . So I changed the whole ignition system and it holds the timing mark great now but Still not running right. I hear a slight popping from number 2 cylinder so I...

How is the quality of the rim's?

Yes they just swap center cap

Had a fellow on another forum do a photoshop for me. I am just thinking of changing the car a bit. What do you guy's think? Hurst Dazzler in gold . I love the old school Cragars but am thinking of something different.
