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:
