hi i have a small block 350 and the numbers on it are: V1207DD and 1GL1369A5. no sites have these numbers at all. plz help me my firing order is all messed up.
He said he just popped a cam in it. I'm betting he didn't rotate the engine 360* before he dropped the dist. in after lining up the dot's on the cam
& crank gear.
Keep that up, and your going to be looking for a car to put those engine's in after it burns to the ground. Find out what's wrong.
If you didn't rotate the engine (after lining up the dot's on the cam and crank gears) 360* you need to put the timing mark on TDC, pull the dist., rotate the engine 1 turn till the timing mark comes back to TDC and re-install the dist.
check rotor posistion and start your firing order clockwise starting with the tower the the rotor is pointing at. If you allready did that, look somewhere else and pay no attn. to me! :mwink:
i got restless and did what u said turned the distributor 180. its tryin very hard but its still not running. i had it running for about 4-5 seconds but thats it. tommorrow ima mess with the distributor and find the right timing for it. hopefully itll fire right off and scream. this engine is very loud so far. 2 1/2 exhaust with 3 inch flowmaster 40s no crossover dual exhaust.
lol. ima get some pics here soon. i keep finding problems with this damned truck. is it ok to use a quadrajet with and unregulated electronic fuel pump? and when i floor it the engine dang near cuts out and i let off the pedal and it pops and studders back to idle. the drivers side tail pipe is blowing a little bit of blue smoke when its cold. the drive shaft has a very crappy weld on it. only 2 bolts holding the crossmember on for the tranny. had to replace the WHOLE braking system. replaced the distributor. replaced the alternator. auto parts store gave me too small of valve covers and the drivers side one split right along the back side as soon as i started the engine. the nuts for the rocker arms keep backing off by them selfs so i go up a hill and u can hear every single rocker arm ticking away. im getting ready to just cut my losses on this pos
