Re: 5.0 Install
I just did some googling. Even though it is a half inch shorter it will work.
How does the distributor and oil pump shaft go together? How can I tell they are together properly?

Re: 5.0 Install
I installed the power steering and a/c eliminator pulley. Hopefully I'll get the dist. in and possibly hook up the the throttle cable if I get the linkage figured out. I believe it has an electric choke. I'll have to get pics of everything.

Re: 5.0 Install
look in the end of it, make sure the holes(1/4 vs 5/16) are the same size. when the dist fits down all the way its in.
Re: 5.0 Install
Yep. It's good. As long as I don't turn the motor over and keep the point on the distributor, under the cap, I'm not sure of the technical term, but as long as it's in the same position as the one that was on my motor I'll keep the correct timing right?

Re: 5.0 Install

Re: 5.0 Install
Alright thanks. Can you help me out with my carb. I can't find anything out about. I need linkage diagrams or something. I have pics I may upload later. It's a holley 2 bl the "list" # is 6433.
Re: 5.0 Install
Pics of carb. First one is from the junkyard the rest are installed in my b2. There is another number on the carb. That number is 12r-5174b.












Re: 5.0 Install
Oh and that is in fact a lag/ anchor bolt as a throttle stop or something of the sort. Quality junkyard parts. I really need a diagram to figure out the linkage. Once warmed up does the choke plate open up electronically?

Re: 5.0 Install
M just trying to get this running as cheap and easily as possible for now. I'm going to the yard again Friday. I might pick up another carb when I'm there. Hopefully it has everything.

Re: 5.0 Install
what happened to the idle mixture screw?? just below the small vac line


Re: 5.0 Install
It's fine. There was some kind of sticker there.
Re: 5.0 Install
That PVC line, were you referring to the distributor as in it was clocked wrong orsomething on the carb?
