I think, per usual, folks on here just don't want to read everything, but definitely want to weigh in. Ironic and sometimes frustrating, but for every thread I make, at least 1 person actually pays attention and teaches me something, so it's worth the annoyance. The issue has been resolved...

Can you detail this top hole thing more, my 727 has a stud on the 'top hole' that I can hang the starter on and fasten down with a nut, I assumed this was original because it looks as old as the rest, but maybe not... the bottom ear mount uses a bolt.

This was info I was looking for. Thanks.

I did.

There was no block interference, thx for the replies.

The issue was the broken snout. The big question was, what's possible when the snout breaks. I have a shim. The original shim, not a 440source ''mini shim''.

This is what happened.

I looked them up for that truck instead of a 93 D150 5.9 and the search result gave me some better quality options, looking up the 93 just gave me 60~70$ chinese repos, the Dakota search showed an Ultima for 160, a Bosch for 170, etc. The Denso number pictured above seems to be old and probably...

I thought I would start a chat with a couple questions about the mini starters. Obviously they are supposed to be pretty straightforward and lots of people use them, but I have also seen a few stories of little problems and quirks. Some stories read that it is pretty painless on a B block but...

There's a difference between working low budget and trying to make something nice with limited means (I have a 40yr old steel single car shed on dirt/gravel), and dudes that just hoard cars they'll never fix just because they can. And they are pretty similar to the parts pimps, the volume...

That is 100% what I am going to do, that's a great idea. I will update in a thread however I clean up and modify the original clips and what plastic studs I find and use. I have a buddy with a 3D printer, maybe we can scan the best original to put into a file and recreate.

I am looking for the clips for the rocker chrome that runs the length of the car. Joe Suchy has no leads. I still think this post belongs in the 62-65 B Body section..... but it's been deleted so here I am. I have almost all of the original clips if someone out there wants to collaborate on...

thanks again for replies re: moroso 20760: not crazy about the moroso pans, I lowered the car on the torsions a bit and was never a big fan of the moroso design or appearance, just looks like steel jowls hanging out underneath ready for a bad bridge transition or speed bump to ruin your day...

all 3 responses lovely, thank you for sharing ironically my dipstick is some chrome replacement turd off amazon that has awful markings but I will do some measuring and plan to mark the stick with a fresh oil change to guide it I like to use 15w40 Rotella with zinc additive on older engines...

The car is a 65 satellite. It had a 361 in it originally, but I put together a 440 for it and swapped them out. In the swap, the oil pan issues which are common with this car arose and I used the original 361 B block oil pan and pickup because it was the only option. This is a particularly...

So the ceramic block is located on the firewall, and is the ballast resistor. It is next to the ignition module. If it failed it wouldn;t start from what I understand, theyre cheap to get but I don't think it's an issue. The points and condenser are inside the distributor, which was rebuilt. I...

The distributor is rebuilt with brand new parts. Would tossing out that radio condenser that came from a coil lead and grounded to the intake cause an issue?

General questions for anyone: Is there anything in the transmission that will fail like a bearing or rotating surface when in gear, but can still be forced to drive? Also, how would a converter that hasn't cycled enough fluid inside it react in this situation? One thing I have not messed...

The balancer was marked when I assembled the engine, and I use a timing light. It sits right between the 10 and 20 mark at idle in park. My mentality behind blaming the converter and trans is more a mechanical problem rather than lacking in performance. Is there a pilot bearing or anything like...

That is helpful feedback thank you for that. At idle in park, it is 15inches. I will check again in gear and report back. Such a strange thing to deal with after having so thoroughly checked so many things.
