It's been kept in side since new except to haul a race car to the track once a month for the last 20 years and before that it lived in Cal. has less than 100K 454 3.21 ratio. It had a cap on it till I got it I use it to pull our 5th wheel

    4th time to sand and reprime because I hit bare metal. Think I'm set now to continue with the rest of the prep , 2k and finale block sanding . Getting tired of trying to make things perfect, my wife points out all the flaws and says fix it now or you'll regret it later . if I could only get her to do some sanding !

    But then you'd have to bite your tongue to keep from pointing out any flaws in the paint, and pointing out that's where she sanded!

    Be careful of what you ask for, you might open Pandora's Box and then never get it closed again. My wife wanted to share some time and shop space... it felt like little by little I was losing space and time for "ME"!
    It took a bit of doing but we ended that arrangement!

    Well after months of not getting my fuel injection to work ( didn't ready spend much time) my truck is running great. Just waiting to go to the paint shop. Spring is just around the corner and I hope to be ready. Pic's will be coming soon.

    Another problem popped up, new water pump causing pulley to be out of line. The old pump was off just bit so I let that one go but the new one is off by 3/16 (too long at the pulley mounting plate) . Mounting my A/C pump ready brought this to my attention. My power steering lines up and so does the alt. Does anybody have spec's on a short water pump for SBC. Its either the pump or the billet alu. pulley. Thinking of pressing the flange on shaft a bit, but down the road that will cause troubles on the road if the pump fails. thoughts ?

    The short water pumps were used on early engines with a pressed on balancer that was around 3/4" to an 1" thick and the crank snout was not drilled or tapped for a bolt. I used to drive them on with a hammer and a length of 2 by 4. Mixing billet with steel pulleys could be your problem. Can you take and post any pictures?

    I have all billet pulleys, I just found a bit of info on the pumps, SBC Corvette pump had a length of 5.800 vice 5.62 inches on the rest of the sbc from the 60's, or so says the pic on the net, maybe I have the wrong pump, headed to the shop to find out.

    Ok I measured the pump and its correct length of 5 5/8" long. Everything else lines up so I guess I guess this shinny billet pulley is another part to be added to the scrap heap.
    NTFDAY, thanks for your input and for an education, I have a 283 with a 327 crank that uses a bolt to hold the balancer on .
    I'll have to get some pics.
    I see they make shims for the balancer but that means the power steering pump and alt. would also have to be shimmed out, not really an option .
