Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I'm just worried if I double it up and tighten it down it will bind or put too much pressure on the oil pump.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Right. Best to find out what the problem is and fix it properly.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got it fixed. Just lightly tapped the oil pump shaft down and it dropped a little. Now the distributor sits nicely. Next to get the driveline on the frame

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Is the T400 and gear vendor unit the plan for the drivetrain?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Getting it off the stand today! Should be on the chassis next week. Took a break from anything major for a bit but feeling like getting back at it again.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
It was supposed to be running before Xmas. Guess I missed that ship. I'll probably get it all in the chassis Tuesday. From there It will probably be a month. Need to get my rad done still before I can run it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
My next modification. Ez lift tailgate and tailgate lowering damper from the newer Silverados. When completed you will never even know a mod was done with the gate on the truck. Plus I'm going to use the trunions with the delrin bushings to quiet down the gate when in use.

That is awesome! I was just wondering if that would be possible the other day. Where did you get all the parts?

If you look at member crossbreed's build in the blazer area at the end of it he gives all the part numbers and shows how it all works. It's sweet.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Primed my engine yesterday getting it ready to install. While priming it I noticed my new oil pump sure is noisy. I may have to replace it. Not sure if this is normal or not. Had no problem with getting oil to the rocker arms though. Pressure seems good.
Watch "Distributor noise 327" on YouTube

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I just read through this whole thread. Absolutely amazing work! Boy I wish had anywhere near the patience you have....

Those valve covers are amazing. As is everything else you've done.

Great work!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Thanks. I appreciate it. My engine builder said I should be ok with that oil pump so I can soon get it in the frame. With covid19 out it may take a bit as I can't have anyone over to help so I may find a few other projects to do before the drivetrain gets in.

So far out of all my truck engine/trans/gear combos, my favorite by far was the T400/Gear venders/3:73 in my 78 SWB. Loved it!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Yeah I'm pretty excited about the driveline. I wish I would have done 3:73 or even 4:10 but I hope the 3:55 rear will be ok. My engine builder built my engine for those specs so I'll leave it now.

Got the damper side all finished up today. Tomorrow I'll start doing the easy lift side of the gate,
