I can tell you from experience (several times) that if you sink your boat that
is exactly what you need to do as soon as you get it out of the water. If you
do not have the time to drain the fluids and get it started then they tell you
to leave it submerged till you do have time (fresh water).
Hi Guys, I'm still fighting the pre-oiler
wars with my new crate 350. Several
Chevelle List members helped me determine that ascrewdriver shaft can't

Jimmy, Unless you are running a roller cam, your
first effort should be running in the cam. At initial startup, Set the timing at
around 6 to 8 BTDC, then bring the RPMs up to around 2500 and hold it there for
about twenty minutes. Follow the cam manufactures instructions. A fan set in
Question, have you installed a
test pressure gauge while priming the oil pump?
Use the port adjacent to the
distributor or the port above the oil filter. You should have above 30 psi while
priming the pump with a drill motor.
I have used a modified old
distributor with the rotor part
Even though you probably have
assembly lube all over everything, I'd pull the distributor back out, and prime
the oil pump. If you have hydraulic lifters, this will also help you set them up
so you can get it running. That's what I have always done.

I know on my BBC with a cordless
drill and a oil primer you attach to it, it takes a few minutes to get the oil
to start to "drool" out of the top of the rockersMaybe youre not running the
drill long enough

No gauge, but I'll hook up the original
(non-electronic) tomorrow and pump it for five minutes.
Maybe more time is the secret.
Thanks,
Dennis
