HI,
OK I bought it used so I'm not sure if it had one or not.. I've owned it for almost 10 years got almost 50T on the rebuild, it just had a bad timing gear (plastic factory junk) but I rebuilt it anyway.. It only has 92,000 on the meter.. When I rebuilt there was NO junk or goop in the heads...
HI
NO AC. So no shroud then..
As for timing. Not sure? I'll put an light on it tomorrow . When I installed the cam I timed it by vacuum .. got max vacuum and backed it off 2 ".. It runs real strong no missing or pinging at WOT to shift point. its running about 16"vacuum.
HI,
No clutch on the fan and no shroud? I don't remember if it came with one when I rebuilt it like 6years ago.. If it had one I'm sure I would have installed it back on...
HI,
Since the cam change I'm having a over warming condition over halfway on the stock gauge It used to run less than half way .. Well going from the 5 blade fan to a 7 blade help in keeping it cooler. Radiator has been cleaned

HI,
That's what I'm thinking if I rotate the crank one more time and re drop the distributor in I should be Back to the proper TDC..??? Duh....Yeah .. the crank turns twice to one of the cam.. so one more turn should put it right??
HI,
Now that its all back together .. NOt starting... I've double check Plug wiring, distributor firing order, it has spark. a couple of back fires thru the carb. I think I did flood it putting gas in to the carb via cup into vents.. I have the plugs out drying it out..I did smell gas when I...
HI,
Yes I would say Check rear gears , easiest change.. I had 2:77' in mine and changed them to 3:08 and it made a ton of different s. With a mild built 318.
HI,
OK I seam to think I could just turn the center shaft.. I didn't realize / think it was attached to the gear.. Makes scenes how else could the cam turn the distributor.... OK.. Not sure of removing the gear part?? Maybe I'll just fill the oil up thru the heads so it coats the lifter and runs...
HI,
yes 4bbl. QF 450 (I well increase that if I need to) ,Eldelbrock performer intake, Stock heads for a 75 had him take 10T off to bump the compression a little, stock manifolds 2 1/4 " duels out the back, stock converter, 308 rear gears.
Not looking for anything crazzy..
HI,
Yes that's what we did.. That kit came with huge springs (almost 1 inch taller than the stock ones) and the wrong locks they sent 4 groove locks). we (my Machinist and I) order different springs way shorter with damper coils and the proper locks.. The kit only came with 4 groove locks the...
HI,

OH I had to change to different springs . What came with it were almost an inch taller and wouldn't work , My machinist Didn't want to install them as he said he would have to...

HI,
Here's some pictures of the lifter that was making the noise and the cam lobe. All looked good, the lifter has no marks and is still has its belly, I didnt take it apart yet but it has to be in the plunger or plunger spring.. the cam lobe look great no marks or uneven ware.. it has...
UPDATE..
So I've pulled it apart.. Tho I haven't pulled the cam or lifters yet I'm waiting on the heads to be done .. and now that is a waiting game.. they sent the wrong valve spring locks in the cam kit.. I needed 2 and 4 groove locks and they only sent a full set of 4 groove.. GGGEEZZZEEE. So...
