    Dart Shp Block

    Finally got my shp block 347 rotating assembly finished, what oil pan fits best as there are no provisions in block for dipstick tube? Didn't realize until buttoning up bottom end? Also do I need a oil filter adapter? Just a threaded hole there?

    Aeromotive Fuel Reg Adjustment

    Just a quick question, do you turn the Allen head out to lower the pressure on an aeromotive regulator, and what pressure would you recommend for a 347 with tfs heads, n51hr, eddy rpm2, 30lb injectors, 190 fuel pump?

    347 Idle

    Got my 347 up and running again but when I install the tiny little timing advance thing(forgot what its called) I can't get it to fire up without giving it throttle, it idles and revs fine without it but not with it in, any suggestions? It will also hunt for idle and die with it in.

Possibly the one under the intake, the rears are already threaded, or maybe the pump went? Will...
