Hey Mac,
Don't forget the pen and paper so you can draft another creative story why you didn't get it running.....LMAO!

I left this thread 2 months ago , just came back to check in and guess what? S.O.S......

Just find it hard to understand some of the reasons , "Had to Re-bend my trans-lines" (2 week delay) , "couldn't find copper line for my oil pressure gauge"..(2 Week delay) and multiple replies about kids,Dogs,Work,Weather..

and ON and ON and ON.....WTF?

Quit being a lilttle Girl , Take the stupid tarp off it , put fuel in it , charge the battery and light that P.O.S. 283 up!!!!

Jesus Christ I could have had that thing running in a friggen Snow Storm by now!

I hafta agree with Joe on those pics, Mac....I think they're better than the smileys.

I enjoy the way my eyes burn from the nitro methane.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
 

True enough. I also like watching the the little pebbles moving around on the ground in the pits when the big cars fire off. Unfortunately, what might occur tomorrow morning is a about 7,800 horse power short of what Mr. Force's rig produces.

Hey Mac,
Can we get one of those "Mission Control" countdown clocks? Or maybe just a link off the NASA web page. So everyone can see when to tune in....:lol:

For someone who goes thru a lot more trouble than most to take and post pics of their project, you sure seem to find all sorts of cool and interesting pics on the web! :)

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins

Your pics are definitely entertaining Mac.

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
 

Come on you WINNIE , pic yourself up and try again. One failed no start is not going to buy you 2 more months of posting , Its only worth about the time you stopped to come here and post this. Get your Butt back outside and fire that POS up!:haha:

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
 

I know you're not just sitting on the couch today Mac. Any rumblings from project slow-mo?

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
 

Slow-mo thats so wrong:lol:

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
 

Don’t know what it is guys - stabbed the distributor just like I did with the Chevelle’s crate motor. Just doesn’t want to go. As I’ve stated a couple of times before - I’ve got a single weekly window of two hours on Saturday morning for this stuff, and no matter what we did, or where we moved the HEI - all it did was pop back through the carburator.

We rechecked the harmonic balancer mark with the compression reading on cylinder number one again - and it’s right where it should be (TDC). Because of other employment and family commitments on the weekends - it is what it is and I won’t be able to even look at it again until Saturday.

Personally, I think it’s all the negative karma by some in this forum:















:lol::lol::lol:

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
 

:lol:

man I have been throwing all the positive karma west that I can manage...maybe it made a wrong turn at Albuquerque ;)

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
 

Have you tried rotateing your plugwires clockwise 1 spot and playing with the timing?

Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins
 

No, no I haven't Jason. And that sounds most logical. It's either 1 spot off or 180 off (less likely). If it's 180 off - it could be trying to fire on the exhaust stroke(?) That's all I can think of in that regard, and I've heard that from dozens of guys before, but this thing almost sounds like it wants to go - but I just can't crank the distributor over far enough.

Good input buddy.

(not like that other guy)
