How To Rebuild The Big Block Mopar Book

[adk-roadrunner]

Has anyone else who has bought this book notice problems with it? In the appendix they have the cylinders numbered improperly and also they show the firing order going clockwise on the distributor. Would be a real bummer for somone who uses that section for reference while using the book. Thinking cylinder 8 is cylinder 1 could cause some issues lol. I wrote the cylinder numbers in myself but then noticed distributor as well lol.

They've all got some errors I'm sure....but that one will really ruin somebody's day if they didn't know better.

Burn it and buy Don Taylor’s “How to rebuild big block mopar engines”

If you are rebuilding your first...... ask your friendly local machinist at the speed shop many, many questions. He is your true friend. Books are great, Im a huge fan..... And I'll bet Larry Shephard has gone way faster than me lol, but I still take the Mopar Bible with a grain of salt. We didnt used to be as spoiled as we are now.... now we have these awesome message boards where you can run everything by the resident experts to keep you out of trouble (Thank you FBBO for simply existing).

This is the book I have and even it has a few mistakes like they all do I guess. The how to install left & right rocker arms were backwards.

Compare your published dates between the two books to see if they caught that from an earlier edition.

I didn't write a book. I just learned by scratch and mistake. 50 years ago.

I bought that last winter.
All kind of steps are out of sequence through out.
Too many issues for it to be reliable.
Toss it.
