Pops is back in town today so we may try and get it out tonight but if not we will tomarrow. I am hopping I can get her running this weekend so i can drive her with the cam in a couple times before the snow flys.

 

Broken bolt is out!
Drilled it with the drummel and used a left handed bit and it came out very easy.
Car is all put back togather except for the rocker arms because i dont have the right torque wrench. I am running up to pep boys in the moarning and renting the right one so hopefully she will start up. If all gose well I will post a video clip some time tomarrow.

Dan,
I wil have the magnets back to you asap, probly monday. Thanks again for letting me use them.

 

Good to hear you got it fixed,what a relief when things start going right.

 

cool. glad to hear it worked. now, make sure you torque the rockers in the right order, rotating the eng. over as the directions tell you. the first time I did it, I didnt think it would matter. a couple of them were looseonce we started it. so just do it in the right order and you'll be good to go. later

Glad to hear you got it out.
What cam did you go with?

 

Fired it up today sounds good. I thought the idle would be a little more lumpy than it is, it allmost sounds close to stock even with the cut out open. The guy i bought it from said it was a MTI C1 which is a 222/222 .566/.566 112 lsa on the end of the cam its marked Lunati 114 I dont know if that is the LSA or something else.

 

Lunati may grind for MTI. There's only a couple companies out there that grind cams, and everyone else just puts their names on them. But if it IS a 114 lsa, then it's gonna have a fairly mild idle.

 

Started it p when it was cold and it sounded how i thought like a race car

Yet I have a nother problem, somehow on the install the little red tiny wire that gose in to the alternator got pulled out and now the battry wont charge. My question is do i have to get a new pig tail clip and solder it or is there an easy way to re commect it?

 

is it the round terminal w/the thick red cable to the batt, or the small conn. w/2-3 wired in it? if its the round termanal, just get a new end from autozone. if its the plug, your best bet is to just buy a new conn. end for it. your dealership can get it for you, but it'll prolly cost about $30.

It is the small connection to the alternator it self. Looks like ill have to pull the powerstearing off to get to it. This just proves that nothing is easy...

 

had the same problem when I pulled and reinstalled the engine. I took the connector apart. You can take the top half off of it, and that gets you better access to the terminal inside. I soldered the red wire back to that terminal and then insulated it from moisture with silicone before putting it back together. Has worked like a charm ever since.

 

sounds like a good idea did you need to take the power stearing off to get down there?

 

no, in fact I had the alternator go bad down the road (unrelated) and I pulled it form the bottom. no problems, didnt have to remove anything other than the belt
