It would go to a GOOD ground! Either case of the alternator or somewhere on the engine block that has the the paint cleaned off so it gets a good ground.

Before helping it, I would just watch while someone attempts to shift it into reverse and see what happens with the lever on the transmission.

I would just check the few that got hit close in the pin area for cracks (most likely there will be none) and run them if they look good!

Can you feel an endentation where the valves hit the pistons? It looks to me like you saved yourself a few hundred dollars! Go enjoy the build. My .02

Tell us more about the engine? Recent rebuild, are you sure it's a hydraulic cam? How are you setting the preload? If not a recent rebuild how old is the engine?

The add says it's a 383

Is the engine even broken in yet? If not, I would see if you could get or use an electric fuel pump and break it in. Then worry about getting the mechanical pump working. To check the mechanical pump you would have to crank the engine over and check how much vacuum it draws. You could take this...

The plug appears good!

How did it run last time you had it out? Check and make sure the accelerator pump is working OK. Might have fouled out the spark plugs.

If you put the same amount of money into building a 318 that you would put into a 360, you would have more horsepower and torque in the 360 anyday! 360's are really cheep to buy and plentifull. Just keep the 318 tucked away if you need it for originality.

Heck, do it the easy way, just get an old points dist. and use it for the break-in!

I believe the drainback is from a worn front pump bushing.

Good news, however sorry about the gauge. You'll get er done!!!

Use a digital volt meter, ground to the alt. case first and check voltage at the alt. output. Should be 13.8 to 14.2 volts. (most likely you will have to have it about 1,200rpm for this reading) Then check accross the battery and see what the voltage is.

How much of this figure is the engine??

Pressure regulator bad?

My recently purchased WIX filters are all black.

No, just trying to find out what the failure was caused by.

Was the old pump locked up? Take the old pump apart and look it over good, also look at the pressure relief valve in it.
