Retarding the timing, or having a very rich idle can make it sound cammed even with the stock cam.
The "T" is made part of the hose, it is replace as a unit.
Does it crank slow? Could be initial timing too advanced.
The piston will be at the top of the cylinder, but you may not be on the compression stroke. Make sure you're on compression before setting the...
Couldn't you drop the front and use a ball joint press?
9.5:1 compression should be fine at lower boost. Decent turbo: $750 Carb hat: $200 Hot and cold side piping: $700 Fuel system: $600 Blow through...
New lower control arms are $74 at my local auto parts store. I would rate it a 1 for difficulty, just remember to get an alignment when you're done.
50k and it doesn't even have a small bumper swap! The engine in it is probably worth close to the starting bid though.
That is definitely a 302. No webbing by the distributor and can tell by the shape of the valve cover.

Have you tried turning the distributor while someone cranks it. Just setting it at tdc may not get it to start. Is this a fresh rebuild?
Everyone seems to have a different way of getting the air pocket out, but I pull out my coolant temperature sensor while filling it with coolant....
Is the stock radiator for a v8 or i6? Could also be something as simple as a bubble in the cooling system.
The upper hose couldn't you use a 70 ' s water neck and use a factory upper hose.
Click Mav-bot's avatar and click ignore, that should take care of it.
"Engine: high compression 302" lol.

Made a new floor pan, started to strip the drivers fender. [IMG]
I have my headers wrapped. Pro's: less heat under hood, keeps heat in pipes to help spool turbo. Cons: holds water which rust pipes out faster.
Remove tank and clean it, rebuild carb, replace rubber fuel hoses, and new plugs, cap and wires, points if it has them would be the first steps...
Separate names with a comma.
