the blancer is from a 350... at least that is what i asked for and told them like 5 times its a 350 not a 305 and thats what it said on the box... so it should be fine.

yes the distributor is from you, it is a in cap coil, i changed the vacuum advance on it cause it wansnt working, and the cap and rotor on it cause they were rusted like a mother ( actually dist. only thing i didnt buy new for the truck )

See if it still does it with the vacuum line plugged, and make sure you are setting the timing with it disconnected.


plastigauge is the strips you use to measure bearing clearances

is this a new engine or rebuilt? where did it come from?

---

the engine is rebuilt... i bought the short block from the man above and i put the oil pump, lifters, new heads, intake, carb, water pump, blancer, etc etc etc all together

the distributor was the only thing used and questionable.

the motor was rebuilt and still in the plastic covering

scoggins dickey kit
4 bolt main
bored .30 over
aluminum flat top pistons
300 horse cam
steel crank -- i think

and its new lifter and new heads


so.....

It has a factory crank. That distributor ran good before the other motor blew up.

Maybe you have a spark plug wire with to much resistance?

brand new MSD wires put on last week... and i checked the resistance of the old wires and they were fine

Did the cam get broke in right. Maybe you did not get the right wear pattern on the lifter and cam and it chewed up a lobe?


Is this problem getting worse or just staying the same?

shhhhhh, it might here you.... thats what i didnt want it to be


i dont know if its getting worse or not
its bad enough to be *****ing about it alot and not want to drive it

Is the flex plate the same between the 305 and 350?

i never noticed any vibrations when my flexplate was bent and they arent keyed so im gonna say the flexplate isnt the issue. if it bolts up itll work.

by right do you mean romping on it from day one, *** :flipoff2: i would try the dizzy first and then, new balancer.

hey i didnt romp on it from day one ***** :flipoff2: i waited like a couple weeks to be stupid

the balancer is new... ive said that like 5 times

here is a little clip of the motor, its hard to tell but if you look close you can see the vibration a little... its when im holding it constant.

i played with the vacuums adn the jets and timing.... everything i did makes the motor run worse... so i think its dialed in fine.

damn who's hand is that on the throttle? That is one sexy hand :rainbow:

who rebuilt the motor?

i dont know.. ask sharp

well, i'd try another distributor like you said, then go from there. i guess could the dist gear be worn out or fubared some way?
