Ok, I thought I would create a summary thread for all my troubles so that some of you may benefit from my PIA experience. Special thanks to Rick91GT, KC, Grady and Hissin..and mootang and many others of you!
#1 Latest issue = Professional Products Fuel rail is TRASH!!!!!!!!! I wasted $150 on it plus $150 in dam fittings to adapt it!! Even with liquid teflon, the rail is near IMPOSSIBLE to seal properly ESPECIALLY THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR!!!!!!!!!! I have tried MULTIPLE times with MULTIPLE O-rings and even if they don't get torn up with the oil on them, the rail does not seal. I am up to my @s s in gas right on the verge of starting the dam car but I cant unless I want a FIRE.
Question: has anyone else used the stock rails on the 351 based stroker motor? I intend to buy 3/8 inch fuel line to widen the rail and run it up the stock barbs. Anyone else do that?
#2 SWAY BAR HITS OIL PAN: Thanks to mootang, my (new - factory won't fit) sway bar is ON!! Thanks for the FREE spacers man!! I still had to re-pull theh engine and move the canton oil pan bolt but the spacers were the ONLY way to fit the new sway bar.
#3 SPARK ISSUE: Would yu believe my screamin demon coil .. like 1 yr old DIED during the swap!! I had to go buy a stocker and put it on and now I have spark! This blows my mind.
#4 STARTER WONT START: Turns out my neg battery cable was EATEN away on the INSIDE of the clamp! I replaced the whole cable and clamp and Bolted it to the BLOCK in a SANDED area and it now (trys) to turn over (until gas started SPEWING everywhere). I cant believe such a small thing like a ground stops a car from starting..but it can.
