wayno Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 How did you finally figure it out, or was there nothing else it could be? Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I thought at first it was crankcase pressure sending oil residue thru the dist shaft up into the cap, which was an issue, oil breaking down in the brass bushing causing higher friction after it breaks down. But In both cases there was all this debri, plastic and all this metal shavings. So on the second dist after it's fail, after pulling it out, the shaft would hardly turn. When I got the third one new, I checked the back lash on the shaft, and it had as much as you would find on an axle shaft. So when I installed the third one and snug it down, the back lash was gone. So after spacing it. I got the back lash back. So well see. It only took like half of a turn on the retainer bolt to get the backlash back. Which I thought was good, for a very small spacer.

Bory Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I pulled up to one of these last night on the way home, M3 with big fatties in the rear and crazy sounding exhaust, we started out casual start then he jumped on it, then of course I did, he was in my rear view before I shifted to 2nd, feels real good!!

datzenmike Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Ya it does, it got me under 200, on the freeway in 100 degree day Odd that it runs hotter at highway speed. Watch the lower rad hose and rev it up... does it collapse from the pump suction? Ahhh I see the rad is in the back so it gets no help from vehicle speed through the air. Tie some ribbons all over behind the cab and see which way the air is moving back there. Orient the rad so the air and the fans flow in the same direction. Perhaps towards the tailgate maybe even upward so it can get exchanged for cooler. You may be blowing a big bubble of hot air in a circle behind the cab. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 You may be blowing a big bubble of hot air in a circle behind the cab. That is a very likely scenario. Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Ya I'll drop the tailgate, loose the bubble, and see if it runs cooler. Quote Link to comment

Cpl620 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 wait, is that an intake on the side routing air to your rad? you have good fans with a shroud? i dont see why youre having these heating issues. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Stupid Chinese distributor. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 That HEI WAS 100% china built Haven't been hearing a lot of good things about those... I wanted to buy one for a Chevy 194 6 cylinder I am working on, but I think you convinced me otherwise... :rofl: They are so cheap though! Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Ya that is a fresh air intake, and I have my heating issues resolved, I like running it around 200, which at first I thought that was too hot. But this late model motor likes those temps. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Ya your right! Iv seen this dizzy as low as 59 bucks with wires, it's really plug and play, only thing is the playtime equals that if an NBA game. So I dropped 165 more and the summit credit of 139, and I had the box and coil from the Stang doner. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Good move to get the good one. Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Well just got the msd dist. and found that the cam I'm running calls for a steal gear, not a cast iron gear it comes with. So have to order that, but in the meanwhile, I wired up the new set up. Did fire it up, but I will have to pull it out and switch out the gear when it arives. No runnin it till it gets here.
