Whew!! I was googling and was reading a lot of stuff about head gaskets!!
-
Gonna be cleaning for days!!and a heck of a mess!
-
Yes it was. I was like WHAT THE F!!!!???Bad cap or stuck thermostat. Did you put a small hole in the thermostat to make sure that the air would bleed out of the block? If there was an air bubble around the thermostat it would not open.
Must have been a heck of a noise!

Well I bought it about two years ago used and had it checked out but didn't use it till today and BAMMM!!!How old was the radiator?
-
What can cause it? While breaking in the cam it exploded scaring the beejeezes out of me. The side tank totally separated.

ThanksRodney is that a Holley 600 carb? try and adjust the idel screw out
-
Figured it out. Small wires on starter on R instead of S. Now I think I need a new Carb. Engine starts and shuts off instantly . I tried several times to prime the carb but it would not keep running.

I sure hope you don't plan on starting it the way it looks in the picture above
This is where I'm at now.

What color are the wires at the missing connector?
Here is a picture of the cut wires:

I don't know for sure but the plug is goneare you sure it was the headlight harness and not the horn relay?

No Sam I wasn't going to start it that way. That pic I took when I got it in.I sure hope you don't plan on starting it the way it looks in the picture above
at the very least have the cooling system intact!
if you are using a flat tappet cam, the first 20-30 minutes of running are crucial !!!!
as soon as it starts it needs to be brought up to 2000-2500 RPM.s for at least 20 minutes to break in the cam

Well guys bummer to my weekend. I put my engine back in and went to crank it and nothing happened. I was with my Monte all day from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm and I just said forget about it. I think I connected all the wiring. The only thing I noticed is that my left side headlight plug has been cut off. Someone needed one badly. I also noticed the plug for the transmission spark control switch is broken(What is the TSCS? Will it cause a no start?). My interior lights and radio comes on. No lights on outside of vehicle but I'm thinking it's because of the stolen plug but there are six or so wires that were cut. So I'm going to need the headlight plug for driver side and also the TSCS pigtail. Any help is really appreciated!! Thanks...... Rodney

Hey Rodney,
I have a 1971, 350 SB with A/C. I took some pics all around but it was hard to get the camera in those tight spaces. Hope this helps.
Thanks Patrick!!

Rodney, got any updated pics of your car?
Still in pieces. I will make a video of initial start up of rebuilt engine this weekend though.

Small or big block?

Hey I need the underhood wiring diagram for my 71 sbc.
-
Anyone got pics of how the bracketry is assembled to engine. I'm about to get her fired up after about 3 years.

67 seconds not bad at all in 1950 all manual labor. I think I missed something in 2013. Wow!!

Thanks

Check with greyhound, they are cheapest and accept larger items.
Bob does $115 for Greyhound sounds too high?
-
Anybody ever shipped a hood? I need a hood shipped from Cali to Ohio. Of course not a Monte hood but one for my Vette. It's one with the scoop grafted on for more intake/carb clearance. It's fiberglass of course.

Tony may God be with you and your family during this time of bereavement. Remember he never puts more on us than we can bear. God bless you and yours my friend.... Rodney

Prayer and thought coming your way Tony. I lost a cousin back in December to pancreatic cancer. He was 38 years young.
