Breaker Bar
When rotating the engine by hand using a breaker bar where do you hook it to? This is being used to get back to TDC.
Thanks |

The large bolt on the front of the crank pulley. You'll need a 3 inch extension, or so.

Good idea to remove the spark plugs.
If you don't remove the plugs, there is a posability of stripping the threads off the crankshaft where the bolt goes into it. I'm thinking the 67's didn't even have a bolt...weren't they just pressed on? |

If the fly wheel inspection cover is missing, you can grab it and turn it over.
Gloves is highly recomended. |

Screw two bolts into the front of the harmonic balancer and you can turn it with a pry bar (and you don't have to worry about stripping any threads)

Stripping the threads???? You should be more worried about snapping the bolt off in the crank. Been there done that. Only fix is to replace the crank.

Yeah, if it isn't a real high compression motor then I see nothing wrong with doing it the way Randy said. If it is remove the plugs if you break your crank then, well either it was already broken, about to break, or your motor was locked up!!!!
