Re: 226 engine reading 80# of oil pressure
Hey Cody, good to see you showing back up. I wish I knew what to tell you. What was the OP in the past? Maybe you have a clogged oil passage or a stuck relief valve. I don't think there's any harm...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Maybe I should run down to the shop and install all the valve assemblies right now before someone suggests otherwise. :)

Re: Opinion needed on fuel pumps
The reason I like my little 12v momentary switched pump is for the joy of the instant start after it sits for months. I have the utmost respect for bone stock original vehicles and their keepers too....

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
My big valve day started out slowly. My valve face grinder came with an aftermarket electric submersible pump for the coolant. I tried it back when I got it and it whirred so I thought was good....

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Skip, I see we were talking about two different things here. The cover I was talking about is on the back of the block and your plate is on the pump itself. I still need to take apart a couple of...
